This is an idiom and I am not sure if you can trust the construction in general.  Anonymous wrote: f) In the way or on the way I saw nice trees ?; On the way I saw (some) nice trees.  Anonymous wrote: g) uncontrollable or uncontrolable? (does this second option also exist ?); The second option looks odd to me.  It may exist but I am not familiar with it.  Anonymous wrote: h) "We went to explore..." or (just) "we explored..." Virtually identical meanings, I think.  Anonymous wrote: Thanks in advance, Beatrice Welcome in retrospect, Robert Stannum Joined on Fri, Oct 28 2005 Melbourne Australia Regular Member 526 Verbs, Prepositions, Constructions, Idioms

	Cool Breeze  +  380182 Fri, 15 Jun 07 11:17 PM a) I met him at the right moment. b) biting (any dictionary will give you the rigth spelling) c) I'll learn it some day / one day. d) I explained it to them. e) at the end of the day (But: He became happy in the end.) f) I saw nice trees on my way out. g) Any online dictionary gives you the correct spelling. h) Both are right. The meaning isn't the same, of course. CB Cool Breeze Joined on Fri, Apr 7 2006 Senior Member 3,970 "I hope you'll all live to be 150 years old - and the last voice you hear is mine!"

This is an idiom and I am not sure if you can trust the construction in general. Robert Hi: I understand this is an idiom, but I have the same problem with when to use "at" and when to use "in". In Spanish both of them translate as only one preposition, "en". So I never know which is the right one, because both mean the same to me. I don't know what is the difference between "He's at the office" or "He's in the office", for instance. Could someone explain, please?
