►Polite questions
If we want to ask a polite question, we can use the Past Continuous.
-I was wondering if you could open the window.[✔️]
-I was thinking if you might help me with this problem.[✔️]
►Even though the sentences have a Past Continuous form, they refer to the present moment. Their meaning is similar to the "could you" sentences, but they are more polite.

Avoid making double negatives with “neither … nor”:

He DOESN’T eat NEITHER mice NOR bugs. → ❌

He eats 🤐 NEITHER mice 🐭 NOR bugs. 🐛 → ✔

“Fatuous” has nothing to do with 'fat'.

It means “foolish or stupid.”

😒 To claim that our planet is flat is *fatuous*. 🌏

RESTIVE = restless or stubborn

RESTFUL = relaxing

The loud barking from the *restive* dog 🐕 kept me from spending a *restful* night. 😫
