I wrote Three sentences in English. I am not certain they is right.Can you correct my writing?
"Hmm... Right.
I believe you swept every girl off her feet.// all the girls off their feet.
I believe you swept every girl along. This is correct but it just means you swept them along - it isn't an idiom like the first sentance.*
I believe you got all the love from all the girls. This sentance is correct but it's kind of funny - it would work as a song lyric. I think it's a little strange becuase you are saying 'I beleive - which shows uncertainty and then making a really bold, strong statement. A more normal sentance with a simialr meaning might be:
I believe all the girls love you. OR You get/got love from all the girls.
* An idiom is a phrase that has a literal meaning [eg. to sweep a girl off her feet - meaning that she falls over] and also has a well known figurative meaning [to sweep a girl off her feet - means to really impress her in a romantic way]. However, you have to use the idiom as a set phrase - so swept a girl along is not an idiom and doesn't have a figurative meaning.
