In English swag is slang for stolen property.

He hid the swag in his suitcase.

It can be used in other ways too. It can mean confidence or attitude. Can you give me an example sentence that you've seen?

It's been a while, and I'm back with a question :)

What's the difference between;

1) just what i need

2) just what i needed

Which one should I use when I say, "this is just what I..... need/needed"?

Hi Tyrant. Nice to see you again! How are things?

The usage of these phrases depends on the tense. Just means exactly in this sentence. Here are a couple of examples.

This sandwich is just what I need. This would be said when you are looking at a sandwich.

That sandwich was just what I needed. This would be said after you have eaten the sandwich.

I hope this helps.

The BBC has a good example of yet/already/still that perfectly answers your question - http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/l....

These and those is simpler to explain. 

We use these as a plural of this. We are indicating something close to us.

We use those as a plural of that. We are indicating something further away from us.

If you have any further questions let me know. :)

Hi Jennie!

The IELTS test scores you on all four skills in English - reading, writing, speaking and listening. Make sure you know the format for a good academic essay. Find some example essays and look at the format, then try and write some essays yourself. If possible ask a native speaker to interview you and give you advice with speaking. Find as many example IELTS tests on the Internet and get familiar with the format. I hope this helps. Good luck! :)

I really really want to know exactly about how to learn English like a native speaker?

Could you introduce me on this question? Even though my English is improving day by day but people are craving more and more. In this case, I want to make a big break through for my English ability for some reasons in my life that I must get fluency and then Academic writing. 

I hope I wish I got best Ideas as well as experiences from you,

best respect
