- In my area, Spain, we have many traditional foods. From the north to the south and east to west, we have a wide variety of dishes. The most popular dishes are paella, gazpacho, salmorejo, a variety of meat and fish, and many other dishes depending on the region in the country. Today, i had a lunch of paella with shellfish. It was very delicious.0 gestimmt2. August 20210
"was rowed"
The books and framed photographs were placed neatly , one next to the other, in a row on the shelf. We might typically say they were "lined up in a row."
"and that felt about right."
There are no other pictures of Gideon's father and Elizabeth felt good about that fact. It felt comfortable for her because she felt that a picture of Gideon's father does not belong there with other family photos.

I might suggest some slight differences for American English:Climb a ladder
Stare out the window ("Of" is a preposition and is okay to use but is not required here. We would tend not to use it.)
Whistle a tune
Hug someone tightly ("Hug" is a verb and you are describing how you did it, so use the adverb.)
Kick a football?
Lick an ice-cream cone. (Unlike British English, in the U.S. "ice cream" is considered uncountable unless it is with something countable, like a cone. You may also say "Lick some ice cream.")
Kneel down to pray
Bite your nails
Blow up a balloon
Scratch an insect bite
Clap your hands to the music
Point at a place on the map
Hit a nail with a hammer
March like a soldier0 gestimmt25. Oktober 20180- In this context, you need to mentally separate the words. Your edit is accurate but the original is typical in spoken American English. "(Because I live closer,) I only have to walk down the street now / to (get to) my local supermarket..." It actually sounds better to place the second clause first and make two sentences using your edit: "Where my parents live you have to travel several hours to get to the nearest shops. Now I only have to walk down the street to my local supermarket, which is really convenient."0 gestimmt9. Juni 20181

0 gestimmt1. Mai 20181- We usually do not use “flappy” with “tiny” because, of course, “tiny” means “very small.” However, people often refer to “cute little animals” that have ears that stick out from the head. “Flappy” is an adjective that typically refers to something that flaps, like wings. A bird flaps its wings when it flies, so something that flaps is able to move up and down or forward and backward. The best examples of flappy ears are an elephant or a dog with long ears, like a basset hound.0 gestimmt17. Januar 20180
