Dear Teachers,

1. I have been seeing this guy for a month now.

- This mean “……….dating this guy…………”, right?

2. The more you talk about it the more you will learn how serious he is about it.

- I don’t understand “how serious he is about it”?

3. I want anything I can get with her.

- This means “I want anything that I can be by her side”, right?

4. I’m in my late 30s.

- This means “I’m nearly 40 years old”, right?

5. Does he place the blame on her?

- What does this mean?

6.   – Just continue reading your book!
      - Just go on reading your book!

- Which sentence is right?

7. Come up with something no one would expect.

- What does “ come up with something “ mean here?


Thanks very much to Teachers.

Stevenukd.

Yes

2. The more you talk about it the more you will learn how serious he is about it.

Whether he wants to eventually get married.

3. I want anything I can get with her.

- This means “I want anything that I can be by her side”, right?

Out of context, I'm not sure. This can either mean he wants to spend as much time with her as he can, or get as much sex as he can.

4. I’m in my late 30s.

- This means “I’m nearly 40 years old”, right?

Yes, 37-39

5. Does he place the blame on her?

- What does this mean?

To place the blame on someone is to find them responsible for a problem. He thinks that it is her fault.

6.   – Just continue reading your book!
      - Just go on reading your book!

- Which sentence is right?

Both

7. Come up with something no one would expect.

- What does “ come up with something “ mean here?

Create an idea. Make an action.
