Dear Teachers,

1. If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?

- " I will come to your rescue" means "I will come to rescue you", right?

2. If you were never broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?

- "I can make you whole" means "I can make you recover", right?

3. She went into a store to grab a bite to eat, and took the chill off.

- What does "take the chill off" mean here?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Hi,

1. If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?

- " I will come to your rescue" means "I will come to rescue you", right? Yes

2. If you were never broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?

- "I can make you whole" means "I can make you recover", right? Basically, yes.

3. She went into a store to grab a bite to eat, and took the chill off.

- What does "take the chill off" mean here? She warmed hereself a little, because she was feeling chilly.

Best wishes,Clive

- " I will come to your rescue" means "I will come to rescue you", right? Right.

2. If you were never broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole? See # 1

- "I can make you whole" means "I can make you recover", right? Right.

3. She went into a store to grab a bite to eat, and took the chill off.[no comma], "take".

- What does "take the chill off" mean here? When I wake up on a cool autumn morning, I turn on the heat just for a few minutes to "take the chill off": "chill" is the cool air, "take off" would be to warm it up just a bit.

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

One possibility for # 1: If you have never been in trouble [in the past], how would you know that I might come to your rescue [now, or in the future]?
