Câu hỏi về câu ví dụ, định nghĩa và cách sử dụng của "Stretch"

A: it can mean that someone is exaggerating the truth or that someone’s subject of a story is too far from the original subject.

A: @OKUMALC50 These example sentences don't imply that they are part of a journey at all.

A: usually after sitting at a table for long hours (working / even having a long meal) you would want to “stretch your legs” meaning to go for a walk or at least move away from that spot physically.

A: we do this thing where any task your undergo we refer to it as a journey and mentally an actual walk of land

and if the journey is long enough we refer to it as a stretch ie the path you take in watever you are doing .

stretch literally means though the time you are taking to do whatever you are doing ( what the person is wishing you luck for)

another thing that comes to mind is running track

if you a doing laps and you are on your last lap we refer to it as the last stretch
same as your journey to complete your task

A: It's not an everyday phrase, but in cases where you want to say yours or somebody else's workload is too much to handle, then you can use it.

Example:

So it's a phrase that can definitely be used, as long as the situation warrants it.

Hope that helped!

A: There's really no difference.
When we say "stretch" often it can refer to stretching the body, like yoga. "I'm going to stretch before I exercise"

If we say stretch out, we're usually referring to something specific that we're stretching. "I'm going to stretch out my jeans so they don't wrinkle" "I'll stretch out my legs because I've been sitting too long"

Hope that helps!

A: @kimchi_tofu_lychee thanks😀

A: “I studied for 3 hours.”
“I studied for 3 hours straight.”

A: Yes, I would correct your mistakes. This sentence does not sound natural. Generally, the phrase that indicates a particular period of time is placed before the phrase "at a stretch".
For example, one could say, "I have fasted for seven days at a stretch". In this example, the time period (seven days) is placed before the phrase "at a stretch".
In your case, you could say "I studied for 3 hours at a stretch".
You could also say "I studied for a 3 hour stretch". I would prefer to use this sentence as I feel that it flows better, but both sentences make sense grammatically.
Both phrases simply mean that you studied for a 3 hour period without stopping.
Hope this helps :)
