Hi Godzilla,

This is the standard question when you want to know the name of the person calling (ringing up/telephoning).

Good morning Torsten, I did that test that you sent me "On the phone" and got all of then right.
I still don't know the difference between "difference" and "different".
Also can you explain to me when do I use this conjunction/preposition "than" and the adverb "then". I am getting better in my English, but as you can see I still have little holes in my head. Another word that I am confuse is on how to use "use" and used".

Thanks to all of you for you help.

Hi Ara,

If you check your dictionary you will find that 'difference' is a noun while 'different' is an adjective. Used is the simple past or past participle of the verb use. As for than and then, simply read English texts to see how those words are used in context. Here is an example: How to use 'than'?

Thanks,
Torsten

What tense does the word "Today" follow? Today can be from morning till sunset and when we are referring to a time whichis over it can be in the past. Can we mix tenses?
