Namnga  +  134387 Tue, 06 Sep 05 10:21 AM Dear all Teachers, 1) - I ended up going by myself  because she was busy. - What does" ended up" mean in this sentence? 2a) - I rarely go to movies alone these days. 2b) - I rarely go to the cinema on my own these days. - Are these ok to say? and do they have the same meaning? 3a) - What part of Britain are you from/do you come from? 3b) - Where are you from/ do you come from in Britain? - Are these ok to say? and do they have the same meaning? 4a) - I'm going to go overseas next month. 4b) - I'm going overseas next month. - Which sentence is right? Thank you very much. Nam Nga.   Namnga Joined on Thu, Aug 4 2005 New Member 06
