Here you can teach me English here without disturbing on other pages.

When I repeatedly make mistakes teach me how it’s done right please. Thank you. I will do the same when there is something I know and you want to learn.

Frequently mistaken words: Weather is Wetter; Falls is whether (sounds similar, but)
ok, memorized, thanks. Whether ist “ob”, “falls” = “des Falls” = in case of (Ich weiss nicht, ob es regnen wird. Falls es regnet, bleibe ich daheim. Dunno wheather it will rain. In case it rains I’ll stay home).


In case it rains I’ll stay home == “Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil es viellecht regnen wird”
Falls es regnet, bleibe ich daheim == If it rains, I will stay (at) home. Die Amis lassen “at” weg.
Control means Steuern. Kontrollieren (im sinne von ueberpruefen) is checking or inspecting.

Typical German speaker’s mistake using the infinitive: e.g. “x is working fine”. It is more correct to say “x works fine”.

k thx. mm

We’ll be soon able to do this on mmwiki without disturbing with it here (not online yet, but works fine offine already) Fall ist doch “case” oder? Im Falle dass = Falls ist doch “In case”? Wenn/if und whether/ob sind ähnlich aber nicht gleich. I’m confused.

Fall = case im juristischem Sinn.
Fuer “Im Falle dass” (= Falls) koennte man aber auch janz einfach “Wenn” sagen” - Wenn es regnet, bleibe ich zu Hause.
In case = fuer den Fall dass
NB: whether (ohne a)
