Dear Teachers, 1. What he needs now is to become a good cook and have some or a lot of , not much money, not a girlfriend. 2. They took the pains of figuring out that it isn't. - " took the pains of figuring out" here means "tried very hard to figure out", right? They went through a lot of trouble to do it correctly and I think " to figure out" is better than "of figuring out", right? I think so. This sentence is odd in many ways. Isn't what? Anyway, try this: They took pains to figure out that it isn't. 3. If you truly care for this peron, and know they feel the same for you. - Can I say "care about" instead of "care for"? Yes, but note that it's not a complete sentence. If... then what? 4. There's no reason to cut your family off or never see them again just because they don't approve of your choices. - What does "cut off" mean here? It's redudant with what follows - cut off contact with them. When a family cuts YOU off, they don't give you any more money. Thanks very much to Teachers,  Stevenukd.
