Hey guys,
what do you think of apps helping to learn English? Can such solutions be effective?
Recently I have come across an interesting application that contains a lot of vocabulary, grammar, presents it in both an attractive and easy way.
Link here: bit.ly/FreeAppEnglish.
Do you have some favourites? Please share it with me!!
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same dilema and this app: bit.ly/FreeAppEnglish helped me to understand it !
It's interesting to note that, although both "if I were" and "if I was" are descriptively correct in subjunctive statements (though "if I were" may be considered more "proper"), only the former allows conditional inversion: "Were I to win the lottery, I would buy a private island" is fine, but you'll never hear anyone say "Was I to win the lottery, I would buy a private island" (even though you might hear someone say "If I was to win the lottery, I would buy a private island").
