Could you please help me with this?


1 I like leaving the TV on as background image and sound/I leave the TV on for background image.
2 You're not done until I say you are.
3 These speaker aren't on at a max. You can't turn them up a little more.
4 It took me the time it took for the opening credit to end to get back from the kitchen where I had gone to get some food.
 We're partners but I have a bigger share of the company. 55 to 45.


thanks

Numbers one and two seem fine to me. 


3, 4, & 5 have problems.  


That's my limit.  Now I have to rest.

I think both work with no problem.

"For background" addresses the purpose for your doing it.

"As background" addresses the way you conceive/perceive its function.

The difference is miniscule.

4.  It took me the time of the opening credits to get back.... [you hadn't mentioned you were watching a film here.]

3.  Two negatives that don't go together.  The speakers are up at max - you can't turn them up any higher.
