    799 - Is it Don't or Haven't?
    Feb 12 2025
    Even though I have my own business don’t like doing bookkeeping. I use some software to help me with that, but I haven’t had any real training in anything like accounting. Actually I don’t understand that stuff too much. Don’t or haven’t.

    Did you notice what I did there? In some sentences I used don’t and in others I used haven’t. A lot of English learners get stuck deciding whether to use don’t or haven’t, so I thought I would take some time today to look at these two helping verbs.

    I visited my 97-year-old aunt in the nursing home the other day. I haven't seen her in a while and it was a bit of a pain in the neck to get there but it was totally worth it. She said that aside from a few aches and pains she's doing pretty good. Aches and pains - those are two words that tend to be a royal pain for a lot of English learners.

    Ache and pain are two words that can make your brain hurt when you try to remember how to use them, so for today’s English lesson, let’s check out how we use these two words.

    Feb 7 2025
    The first thing I do every morning when I get up is I put on the coffee maker. Then I put on a podcast and get dressed. It's been pretty cold lately so I always need to put on something warm.

So to help you with that, today, we’re going focus on the phrasal verb put on, which has five different meanings and uses.
