Here’s the difference: Congratulations 🎉 → Used when someone has achieved something or reached a milestone. Examples: Congratulations on your promotion! Congratulations on winning the award! Congratulations on your new baby! Best wishes 🌸 → Used to express goodwill for the future, often when someone is starting something new or about to face something. Examples: Best wishes for your new job. Best wishes on your wedding day. Best wishes for your exam. ✨ Sometimes, you can even use them together: “Congratulations on your graduation, and best wishes for your future.” **Language**: English *1 likes · 337 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/qVWmvFFDENJNHD.md) --- ## 2. 8/24/2025 Skeptical with his behavior or on his behavior Here's how it works: "Skeptical of his behavior" Most natural "Skeptical about his behavior" Also fine, commonly used.

Can anyone explain why? **Language**: English *1 likes · 1 comments · 449 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DKnLHSZwWDXNHD.md) --- ## 4. 8/20/2025 "peace" vs. "truce"? 🕊️ **Peace** is a state of no war or conflict, a lasting agreement, and often involves harmony and friendship. Think of it as the end goal! **Truce** is a temporary stop to fighting, a ceasefire. It's usually for a short time to discuss terms or bury the dead, not a permanent end to conflict. It's a pause, not the resolution. Basically, a truce is a short break in fighting, while peace is the complete absence of it. **Language**: English *2 likes · 458 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/LzOGpHExZFTNHD.md) --- ## 5. 8/9/2025 Subject–verb agreement with tricky subjects ❌ The number of cases are rising. ✅ The number of cases is rising. > The number = singular; A number = plural. --- 2.
