Hello Blitz 1. 'Ahead of schedule' is fine - it's the usual phrase. 'Before schedule' is used too, but it's much less common.

Hello Blitz
1. 'I'll go with you' and 'I'll come with you' are both correct. 'Come with' has a sense of accompanying someone who would be going somewhere anyway; 'go with' can be used without this implication.
2. 'I haven't met her in a long time' ('IALT') vs 'I haven't met her for a long time' ('FALT').
This is an interesting one. My first thought is to say that 'I

can you explain me more about ps and pp and the likes of them wit ha few examples
i dont wanna die i havnt even married yet((is this sentence right?))

Hello Blitz
Answering the 2nd one first:
'I don't want to die - I'm not even married' is probably the right form here.
1. Here are a few examples of the Past Simple.
The past simple verb is in bold. It denotes a completed action in the past. It is 'simple' because it has one part (the part in bold), except in the negative:
I rode my bike.

Hello Blitz
Yes, I should probably qualify what I said before: the PS is used in contexts where you don't want to imply a connection to the present; the PP, where you do.
So:
'Yesterday I rode my bike across the field' - PS. You only want to talk about yesterday.
'I've ridden my bike to work every day this week' - PP. It's still 'this week', so the action h
