Anonymous  +  420103 Mon, 17 Sep 07 05:05 PM Hello May I ask about the collocation of the word "right"? Here is a question in the exercise which requires filling the blank. #1 It'll all (      ) right in the end.  The answer says the word is "come".  Is this a definite collocation?  Or are there any words which can be used? How about "go" and "turn"? Would you give me some guidance? Thank you. Anonymous

It will come out right in the end. It will come out all right in the end. It will turn out all right in the end. You can substitute "It'll" for "It will." You can add an optional "all" as in "It will all" for any of these. To be "all right" it just means that the situation is okay, under control, no lasting damage, etc. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,660 Barbara, who answers in American English.
