You are welcome to answer questions posted in the Ask a Teacher forum as long as your suggestions, help, and advice reflect a good understanding of the English language. If you are not a teacher, you will need to state that clearly at the top of your post. Please note, all posts are moderated by our in-house language experts, so make sure your suggestions, help, and advice house the kind of information an international language teacher would offer. If not, and your posts do not contribute to the topic in a positive way, they will be subject to deletion.
You have posted a question and I am adding a second post to answer it; we now have two connected posts. That is a thread. If someone else adds more, the thread will grow longer. The idea is similar to sewing- the posts are joined together in a similar way.

And, to pursue the analogy a bit further, someone (who should have started a new thread) may post a new question in your thread - so that we end up with a tangle of unrelated thoughts in a single thread.
