Listen to the sound of the engine, and look at how the sound relates to the rev gauge. You can do this while parked, with the car in neutral, so long as you’re on flat ground.
The car speed (or wheel speed) and the engine speed are linked by the gear, and detached by the clutch.
In order to avoid grinding the gears, you want the engine speed and car speed to match up for that gear.
Luckily, you don’t need to be perfect!
For example, let’s say you are in first gear, and you’ve gotten the car moving a little. Let’s say you’re driving at 20mph, and that your tachometer says you’re at (I’m guessing here) 6000rpm.
You push the clutch in and take your foot off the gas. The tachometer starts to fall. Try to get into 2nd gear before it falls all the way to idle. If you mess it up, and it drops, that’s fine. You’ll need to give a little gas to get the engine spinning (let’s say 2000rpm) and then come slowly off the clutch.
You’ll either hear the engine whine because it’s not spinning fast enough, or the car will lurch forward because the engine is going too fast.
If you are careful with the clutch, you’ll feel which way it wants to go, and you can adjust with the gas until they’re both happy. Then you can come fully off the clutch. you’re in 2nd gear.
Good luck

I’m sorry but three and a half billion is not an oversight, that’s money laundering.

I’m not OP but I struggled to learn to read. One day I found Ramona Quimy and instead of reading one chapter I read three, because I liked it!
Read to them, anything is better than nothing, but if you read about topics they like they’ll be self-driven and that’s golden.

I love candid portraits, where you catch authentic expressions. But I can never seem to get them. I hate that one fake smile face everyone makes for the camera. I feel like if I said the right thing, I might have a better chance.
What should I say?

Not bad. Something about her proportions seems off. Her torso looks way too long

I feel like this should be a brand new sentence. But somewhere deep in my bowels I know it isn’t.

I couldn’t figure out why paratroopers needed to have pigeons deliver bras to them.
“General sir! They’re gaining the upper hand on that ledge. Permission to wear this bra while we launch counter attack?”
