The Difference between Mothering Sunday and Mothers' Day


Mothering Sunday?
Is that even a correct  expression?
Yes it is.

Mothering Sunday is meant to be celebrated on the laetare Sunday which is the 4th Sunday in Lent. It was basically meant for the celebration of the mother church. The church where one was born.


Family members gather together and attend church servuce  with bouquets given to their mothers.  Orthodox churches usually celebrate mother's day on the day  called Mothering Sunday. Mostly Many countries in Europe celebrate that Mothers' day on the 4th Sunday of Lent which is most appropriately called Mothering Sunday.

Americans celebrate a secular  version on May 14th...this one is called Mothers' Day.

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem...

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration.

People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...
