This was what I got when I was checking up "misfortune" in one dictionary. Now I understand what "misfortune" means. But the problem is I don't know what "instance" means here. It's obviously not as the same as that in the phrase "for instance".

That's true! But we do have a grammar rule in this kind of situation right??? So what's that?? What's the order of these two figures in a formal situation??? What if we have three figures describing the height, width and depth????

I discovered this word while I was wandering " in the dictionary " . It sounds good in Chinese, but it seems odd in English Can I continue to go by this name??? or should I change??? Any suggestion???

She pursued the cause closest to her heart: famine. I've checked it up in the dictionary, however, I don't get it still. Can somebody help me???? Many thanx.

I've checked up for it in several dictionaries, such as collins and cambridge, neither can give a clear explanation. Furthermore, could you help exlplain a phrase "self perception"???

There's only one kind of currency and that's the dollar. Then why do we put "the" before "dollar" ?????

Would it be OK if I go by this name in my daily life??? Would it make people feel strange??? Friends told me it's way too special..

The dollar is the unit of currency in the US. Is it suitable to omit the first "The" ?? Can I add "the" before the word " currency "?????

I don't quite understand your sentence, Whl626. Could you please rewrite it in a easier and detailed way???
