Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Phrase"

A: I can't think of a time you'd use "to" instead of "towards"... these are referring to position a person or thing in relation to another person or thing.

"Orientate the satellite dish towards the eastern sky"
"Orientate yourself so that your chest is facing towards the window"

Also, "orient" is a common variation

"Orient the satellite dish towards the eastern sky"
"Orient yourself so that your chest is facing towards the window"

A: “I’m open” means I am available or willing to hear or try something.

Examples:
- We were waiting for the next bank teller when we heard him say, “Over here. I’m open.”
- I like my boss. She’s always open to hear new ideas from team members.

I hope this helps. :)

A: It's kinda weird but I think it's just the beginning of a clause that continues after daughters:

Not all that Mrs. Bennet could ask on the subject was sufficient to draw from her husband any satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley, not even with the help of her five daughters.

Translation:

However, all that Mrs. Bennett could ask on the subject was not sufficient enough to get a satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley from her husband.

It's from a classic that uses old fashioned English; tbh it took me a minute to understand it.

A: No, in the phrase "you are a," the letter "a" does not represent existence. Rather, it functions as an indefinite article. The indefinite article "a" is used before a noun to indicate that the noun refers to any member of a general category. It is often used when introducing something or someone for the first time or when referring to a non-specific instance of something.

For example, in the sentence "You are a student," the word "a" is used before "student" to indicate that the person being addressed belongs to the general category of students without specifying a particular student.

A: Yes, you're right; it is hard to tell with without context.

"Rebel ink" probably means a newspaper or newsletter that was printed by rebels.

A: I messed up the floors in the bathroom.
I'm stoked to go surfing tomorrow.
He isn't on the same wavelength as his more experienced friends.
Out of the blue, my mother showed up on my doorstep.

A: The first one is correct and probably what you want. The second is incorrect without a comma.

You could also say “by the American president*,* Andrew Jackson,” but only if you are contrasting him with a different country’s president mentioned earlier.

If you are just referring to Andrew Jackson, and you want to describe him as an American president, “by American president Andrew Jackson” is best.

A: Do away- to get rid of. (Not a common phrase) you should do away with those old shoes.

A: come away from there!

¡sal de allí!

The leaves will then come away from the core easily.

Las hojas luego saldrán del núcleo fácilmente.


It's a dream come true to come away with a medal

Es un sueño hecho realidad salir con una medalla

A: This is not a common phrase. THINK OF means the same and is much more common.
"I can't think of/think up anything to give her for her birthday."
"Can you think of/think up a reason to loan him the money?"
"The truth is worse that anything you can think of/think up."

A: Phrase is a group of words with a special idiomatic meaning.
'to be in the know,' 'to lob shells,' 'to upset the applecart,' 'brazen hussy' are phrases, but not sentences.
'I am not trying to upset the applecart' is a sentence. Although some people may call sentences phrases (but not vice versa), according to my understanding, full sentences are not phrases.

A: I would highly recommend you use the second one " the phrase is used for someone close to you"

there is no difference, when it is used for someone close to you, it's for the person.

When it's used to someone close to you, it's when the phrase is used directly to the person, I hope this makes sense

A: A sentence is a complete idea with at least one subject and verb and is not a dependent clause.
Ex. He ran to the store
She is with him.

A phrase is a incomplete idea that either lacks a subject or verb or is a dependent clause.
Ex. Ran to the store (no subject)
When he ran to the store (dependent clause)

A: Sometimes they are the same. But phrase also can mean just a few words, only part of a sentence.

A: phrase is not a sentence it could be more than 2 words

compound sentence is have subjects and objects together with conjunctions e.g. and/or/but to express or describe something that you would like to share

A: “The cost of riding a ferry”

A: I don’t know a lot about Fortnite, but is it possible to collect wood in that game? I think you heard him correctly. You’re just thinking of the wrong word. “Ten wood” is the only thing that I can think of that would make sense.

A:

I agree with you the ones you left blank don’t NEED more. But maybe the teacher wanted you to practice something. They need to give better instructions.

A: These are mostly interchangeable. Both are correct.

A: Rise and shine is often a greeting people use to wake others up, but it can also refer to how early someone wakes up. (The man on Instagram you described for example) is bragging about how hard working he is because he can wake up extremely early and do a work out. People that are really into productivity kinds of things will use this phrase.

A:
例えば、ドラマとかでこういうことも聞こえます。
"Please, sir, don't go in there, you'll die!"
"All the same, I must fulfill my duty."

"We had some unexpected events yesterday that caused the postponing of the game. All the same, we hope to see you all next week!"

これもドラマっぽいけど、
"If you save her, your life will be ruined!"
"But I must all the same."

Hope this helps! Let me know if you still have questions. ちょっと珍しい言葉だから、分からなかったらあんまり心配しないでください。そんなに大切ではありませんから。

A: Midterms мы так это называем в США.

A: Yes, it's correct and natural.
