Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Problem"

A: a natural speaker would not say that someone was trying to frame them for their problems - that’s not the correct use of the word frame.

To frame someone is to try to get them in trouble (usually with the police) for doing something they have not done, usually by providing false evidence or by lying. For example, “he tried to frame me for stealing the necklace by saying he saw me take it, even though I was at my job at the time.”

If I am having problems and I think it’s your fault, I will say that I blame you for my problems. For example, “I got in trouble at work today and I blame Sam because he made me late this morning.”

C/o American Express in Hong Kong means "at the Hong Kong office of American express"
You can find the same in some addresses, example : Mr. Smith, c/o Star Game Building, New York

The full sentence meaning is: if you have any problems you can contact him at the Hong Kong office / building / local office

A: Let's imagine a girl and a boy (call them A and B) are in a toxic relationship, and B (the boy) is the one who said this.

A is toxic to B, meaning A treats B poorly. This makes them both upset and A decides to break up with B and remove him (=cut him out) from her life.
B says to A that if cutting him out of her life makes her feel better, then do it. But he doesn't want A coming back again after realizing that he did nothing wrong, and it was all her fault. (because A was toxic to B.)

This scenario may not be what exactly happened, but I hope it at least helps you understand this sentence more clearly.

A: How wide or spread-out is the problem? How much area does it cover?

A: Using something will not harm or kill you.

A: He goes away with the candy. The balloon flies away. Sorry, I'm away, please contact me later.

The plane takes off. I turn off the lights. She goes off to work. I'm off work (not working) right now, do you want to do something? He drops off his children at school. I push myself off the wall.

I stand on the box. I turn the switch on. I turn on the heater. I'm on duty (working) right now. You're on (stage).

I go down the stairs. It's going down. The elevator drops down. I'm down (willing) to play.

A: It means "the same brand/model/type of." They want to know if the problem always comes from the same model coffee machines made by the same company.

A: 1. I've got too many job offers- it's hard to decide between them. 2. That's a good problem to have.

A: "This is a good problem to have."
"The problem is a good problem and it can be solved in a day."

A: Their basic meanings:

In -- Inside, within the boundaries of...
Ex.
'I live in the United States of America.'
'There is a computer in that box.'
'The pig is in its pen.'

At -- Tells location, physical or conceptual. Note: for physical locations, areas use 'in', while specific points use 'at'.
Ex.
'I live at 123 Filler St.'
'The mark is at ten inches.' <-- For example, when measuring something.
'When I worked at Google, I made more money than I do now.' <-- 'At' is commonly used for companies.
'We are at a pivotal point in time for our country.'

On -- On top of, above.
Ex.
'The pen is on the table.'
'I am on top of it today.' <-- 'On top of it' is a common expression. 'It' is your problems. Literally, this phrase means "doing well." ------ 'I am doing well today.'
'Her blanket is on my bed.'

A: These are correct:

“What is the problem with me doing this?”
“What is the problem with doing this?”

A: The first one is grammatically correct. Generated = past tense so it make sense since the scenario already happened
Generating = means it’s currently happening which is wrong because the problem is already made. It is not being made.
Generates = present tense. Same idea with generating.

A:

"To go to the mountains" and "To face problems" both sound natural to me. Do you mean, why does "problems" not need the definite article "the"?

"I face the problems." does not sound natural because the "the" implies that you mean certain problems that we both know about, or certain problems that you will mention next: "I face the problems that I encounter with courage," or "I face the problems as they occur" -- both sound fine with "the" -- although both of these sentences would be fine without the "the". These sentences with "the" sound fine because the sentence tells us which problems are being referred to.

"I face problems" is fine because we all know what problems are like: whether a broken pipe or lost love, they steal away our peace of mind and happiness. If it's not one thing, it's another.

"To go to the mountains" needs "the" because mountains are not all the same. For one thing, some are too far away; others are too steep; so, I can mention "the mountains" because you know which ones I mean -- no not the Himalayas -- too far; not Everest -- too steep. I'm not just going to any old mountains, they must be close and not too steep, etc.

I hope this helps.

A: #2 and 3 mean pretty much the same thing.
examples:
A: I'd like to return this sweater
B: That's not a problem (meaning... it's OK you can return it)
B: That's no problem (same meaning as above).

#1 means something different. SEE BELOW:
A: I'd like to return this sweater.
B: Why, is it too small?
A: THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM... the problem is, it's the wrong color.

A: we say...
there's no problem
that's not a problem

but we DON'T say: There're no problems (you are trying to contract THERE and ARE, and we don't do that).

we DO say: There's no problems (plural) but it's not correct.
or: There AREN'T ANY problems.

A: We might say something like... everything has its pros and cons.

A: I’m not sure of the context of your sentence but:

‘A problem of something’ means something unclear has made a problem.

‘Something of a problem’ is a fancy way to say ‘that is a problem’.

It is more commonly said like this: (answering someone) ‘it does seem like something of a problem.’

:)

A: You can just say that. "I'm going to pay for problems I've caused".

A: This one is tricky too, I'd translate it like this:

But you have to guess what was wrong with him. He developed genetic problems, that's why one leg is smaller than the other.

"But you have to guess what" is perfect.
"is it to him brought out" isn't correct.
"To him brought out genetic problems" isn't totally wrong, but sounds awkward.
"that's why one leg is smaller than the other." is perfect.

A: I don't think starting a sentence with "because" is wrong at all. But you can also put "because" later in the sentence. For example, you can say "The creature is angry, because it's very hungry."

"Because it's very hungry." is also correct. But maybe your teacher wants you to make longer sentences.

A: As a suggestion, I would only change the 1st sentence:
If we stay silent about a problem to keep the peace,
to
If we stay silent about a problem just to keep the peace,
If we stay silent about a problem in order to keep the peace,
If we stay silent about a problem, to keep the peace,

because without these changes, it could be understood that there is a problem about peace itself that you are not talking about,
rather than there is some other problem that you are not talking about and 'keep the peace' is used as a reason/expression.

A:

I think the expression you are looking for is – getting out of hand.

If your problems are getting out of hand, turn them over to the Lord. He’ll help you tackle them.

For the meaning you are trying to express – something becoming overwhelming – you must use the full expression, getting out of hand. Just “out of hand“ has too many confusing other meanings – you can’t just say that.

A: Yes it is omitted, and you could put the word "membership" there. It's not good practice to reuse a word so much though, so I would say something like "for instance, when it is reliant upon social group membership."
