When do we use difficulty (singular) vs. difficulties (plural)? I'm going to explain this and also teach you a number of collocations, typical combinations of words, to expand your vocabulary! Learning collocations improves your English fluency because instead of trying to put a sentence together word by word, trying to think "which verb goes with this noun?" or "which adjective sounds more natural?" – instead, you'll already know combinations of words that go together. My e-book, 1000 collocations in 10 minutes a day, makes learning collocations quick and easy. It has 50 short lessons, 50 quizzes, and comes with audio as well.

One of my students asked me what's the difference between these two questions:
This is an excellent question because there IS a difference between positive questions like the first one, and negative questions like the second one. I'll teach you about it in today's lesson, and we'll also cover question tags, like "She has a car, doesn't she?"
