A rather old-fashioned expression, but still used, and anyone would understand it.

Hi Gérard !
Thanks for telling us the different ways to cook food. I think one of the healthiest ways is steaming

Steaming is, simply, cooking food in an enclosed environment infused with steam.

Hi Gérard, Everyone!
I knew that rich and wealthy didn't mean exactly the same. Here is the definition
The main difference between being rich and being wealthy is knowledge. Wealthy people know how to make money while rich people only have money. Rich people are motivated by money but wealthy people are motivated by their dreams, purpose and passion.

Very interesting article...


These are interesting. Your textbooks probably tell you to use an infinitive with "start," but that's not how people usually say it now.
