✅ Normal English: "I don’t get it." 🤷
❌ Textbook English: "It is raining very heavily."
✅ Normal English: "It’s pouring!" 🌧
❌ Textbook English: "I am very tired."
✅ Normal English: "I’m exhausted." 😴
❌ Textbook English: "Can you help me?"
✅ Normal English: "Can you give me a hand?" 🤝
⚡️ Why use normal English?
