If a friend found a lot of money on the street, what advice would you give? Try to use "ought to" in your sentence! #AmericanEnglish

Thanks Gérard i didn't know anything about that celebration which is so important
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Literacy_Day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Literacy_Day
Some 775 million adults lack minimum literacy skills; one in five adults are still not literate and two-thirds of them are women;[2] 60.7 million children are out-of-school and many more attend irregularly or drop out.[3]
According to UNESCO’s "Global Monitoring Report on Education for All (2006)",[4] South and West Asia has the lowest regional adult literacy rate (58.6%), followed by sub-Saharan Africa (59.7%), and the Arab States (62.7%). Countries with the lowest literacy rates in the world are Burkina Faso (12.8%), Niger (14.4%) and Mali (19%). The report shows a clear connection between illiteracy and countries in severe poverty, and between illiteracy and prejudice against women.

Many grammar books say it is better to use might when something is less likely, and may when something is more likely, but this is a flexible rule.

We at American English at State sure hope that today you're feeling the opposite of "distressed." We hope you are feeling happy and content. #AmericanEnglish.

In my humble opinion, there's a slight difference between the terms: "content" is usually followed by details (French "content de qqc") while "contented" can be used by itself - not forbidden to give explanations tho (French "contenté", "satisfait" signifiant un certain bien-être, un certain état).MurielB a écrit:Gérard is it better to day "content"or "contented"?

On Saturdays and Sundays from September until early February, many Americans watch American football with their friends and family members. The players often tackle each other in order to stop their opponents. Have you ever watched an American football game? #AmericanEnglish

Hi Gérard, hi everyone
When tackle is a noun it is the equipment required for a task or sport.

Gérard I was taught "can't" was the opposite of "must" when both expressed probability. What about "mustn't"?
