The Simplest Overview of the Grammar Tenses. (12 tenses)
In English you can express an action according to:
-whether it continues to happen.
-Has a result on a future time OR
- it is simple.
And in any language something can happen in the past, present, or in the future.

So we have:
1. Past Simple.
(I did).
2. Past Continuous.
(I was doing).
3.Past Perfect.
(I had done)
4. Present Simple.
(I do).
5. Present Continuous.
(I am doing).
-whether it continues to happen.
-Has a result on a future time OR
- it is simple.
And in any language something can happen in the past, present, or in the future.

So we have:
1. Past Simple.
(I did).
2. Past Continuous.
(I was doing).
3.Past Perfect.
(I had done)
4. Present Simple.
(I do).
5. Present Continuous.
(I am doing).
Do you know what an adverb is?
An adverb is a word that describes how something happens or how something is.
If I say : "Come quickly!", the listener will understand more than if I just say: "Come!".
The same thing if I say :" It rained heavily".
Most adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding "-ly" But not all adverbs:
- Slow => slowly : The car was moving slowly.
- Bad => badly: The football player was badly injured.
- Rare =>rarely: I rarely see him sad.
-Usual => usually: I usually wake up early.
-Easy => She can travel to other countries easily.
# Not all adverbs end in "-ly":

Dictionaries are your best friends!
"Dictionaries are your best friends!" why? they never lie, they tell you everything they know, be there for you whenever you need them....Yes! I know. I sound like I've forgotten they're not people!....
Seriously though, dictionaries, can be qualified to be your best friends!
But are all dictionaries equally good?!
the simple answer is "no".
But no one ever said that you can use only one or two! you can stack up dictionaries as you like. For years, I've been trying & comparing dictionaries restlessly. after some studying, I became able to know the pros & cons of each dictionary that I came through.
REMEMBER: you need at least 2 dictionaries:
1, Monolingual (English-English)
2.Bilingual (English-your language, or your language to-English).
These are the best dictionaries that I've used:

Verb: To be
Ask yourself this question:
"What do I know about the verb 'to be'?".
As you can see above, the verb 'to be' has so many forms ( It is very irregular!) and sometimes it is hard to know the difference between them ( for example, been & being) or (was, were).
So let's take a look at the difference between these forms because the verb 'to be' is the most important & commonest verb in any language. esp, English.
1.Will be:
'Will be' is the future of 'to be'.
example:
-I am a student. => I will be a student.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA
is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and
online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches
well beyond California to require a person or company in the United
States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting
personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a
conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the
information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being
shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously
Once
this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home
page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our
website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy', and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

• On our Privacy Policy Page
Users are able to change their personal information:
• By emailing us
• By logging in to their account

It's also important to note that we allow third party behavioral tracking
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When
it comes to the collection of personal information from children under
13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in
control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what
operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's
privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The
Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law
in the United States and the concepts they include have played a
significant role in the development of data protection laws around the
globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how
they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various
privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
