Fascinating
This is the first time I write in this site. It's wonderful when I saw this site. There are many materials to studying English. I can learn many things from this site include grammar, listening, speaking v.v., and it's very very important for me. In addition, I can see many people all around the world, I speak with them by English and write by English. So, I think that my English will be improved and I can make friends with everybody from all over the world.
Thank to this site I hope I can get 6.0 marks in the IELTS exam.
I am very grateful those who made this site. I hope everybody will help me in next time.

The difficult new book is the correct one. We usually put opinion adjectives (difficult) in front of describing (new) adjectives. You can find more information about adjective order on our adjective order page.
Hope that helps!

Thank U very much Stephen
Thank U very much Stephen Jones, for your explanation. I really respect U.
thanks for response Adam. my
thanks for response Adam. my question is:
When I asking, when I should use do, and when I should use are like:
Do you want to drink? or are you want to drink?
Are you sure? or do you sure?
Is there a rule? what is it?
thanks a lot...
Hi Kendi,I'll try to answer
Hi Kendi,
I'll try to answer your question, because 'do' and 'are' cause problems for students everywhere I have taught!
Can you see a pattern in your two examples?
Do you want a drink? - want is a verb, and needs 'Do' to help it make a question.
So, we would also say things like:
Whereas, 'Are you sure?' - sure is an adjective, and so we use the verb 'to be' to make a question.
So, we would say things like:
That's a very quick summary of the rules, and as always, there are probably exceptions, but I hope that helps.
For more practice, take a look at our pages on Question forms and .

hard
it's hard to memorise these preposition. how do you memorise them?
Hello maryam, Well, that's
Hello maryam,
Well, that's the difficult part of learning any language! Memorising prepositions and other areas of English is difficult unless you practice.
I always encourage my students to read as much as possible, especially materials produced in English-speaking countries (newspapers, magazines, books, anything!). Then you'll have a chance to see prepositions and other important areas of the language in use.
For stronger learners, I would recommend looking at our Stories and Poems - they are right here in LearnEnglish!
Good luck!

PHRASAL VERBS
hi everyone,
I'm learning English on my course and I see that they use phrasal verbs very often. I'm looking for this grammar exercise on this page and I haven't found it.
Could I make a suggest for grammar exercise (and a lot of example:)) of phrasal verbs? sometimes it's very confusing ... like ˝put smb off sth˝, ˝make off˝, ˝take sth on˝, etc.
Thank you

hi
i need your help
i have 2.5 mounth for take ielts exam and i was study with cambridg ielts books
2 years ago,but now i do not know how can i start study again for my exam and i
think that my english level is between beginner and elementary i have all of the
books and cd but i donot have program for study please help me i need good mark for
phd
scholarship.
Yours sincerely
Hi, Two and a half months
Hi,
Two and a half months isn't a lot of time, but it's great that you've still got the books and the CD. You've probably forgotten most of the answers after 2 years, so I would suggest doing some of the practise tests right now. Try to do them under exam conditions - the same time limits, no dictionaries etc.
Once you have done this, you should have a clearer idea of how much progress you need to make and what areas you need to work on. Do as many practise exams as you can and use them to identify where you need to study.
To improve your speaking and writing, it's best if you can find an exerienced IELTS tutor. If not, try to find someone who can judge what your strengths and weaknesses are in these areas.
Good luck!
