Answer 1

Hello Marta!

I know English. I will help you with pleasure. «It was raining cats and dogs" -is means that it was raining very heavily.  You can also say - it is pouring. «He had a sweet tooth» - it means that a person like sweets very much and he can't live without it. Have you a sweet tooth? As for me I have a sweet tooth, I can eat sweets every day. 

I know it is very difficult to learn foreign languages. We need to learn a lot of new words.  I think that reading it is very useful in this case. You need to read a lot. You also can make a dictionary where you can write all new words.

What books do you read?  Do you read adapted version or books in the original?

Write me if you have difficulties. I will help you!

Sorry I have to go!

Bye!

 

 

Answer 2

Dear Marta,

I hope this letter finds you well. It's always a pleasure to hear from you and assist you in your English learning journey. Don't worry, I'm more than happy to help you understand the meanings of the phrases you mentioned.

The phrase "It was raining cats and dogs" is an idiomatic expression used to describe heavy rainfall. It means that it was raining very heavily, with a lot of force. It doesn't literally mean that cats and dogs were falling from the sky, but rather emphasizes the intensity of the rain.

As for the phrase "He had a sweet tooth," it is used to describe someone who has a strong liking or preference for sweet foods or desserts. It suggests that the person enjoys consuming sugary treats or has a craving for them.

I hope this clarifies the meanings of these idioms for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Keep up the great work with your English studies!

Best regards, [Your Name]
