Hi, guys.Could you please help me with four little questions?
1) Do you say health status/condition? "There was an improvement in his health status(state, condition)??
Answer: In the United States we use "condition" as in: "There was an improvement in his condition" or "His condition improved".
2) Do you say "from + name of a brand"? "I have a shirt from Ralph Lauren." "My perfume is from Hugo Boss" "My phone is from Apple." If not, what could I say instead?
Answer: I would probably just say: "I have an Apple iphone" or "I own a Ralph Lauren shirt". But the sentences you wrote work too.
3) Can i say "Brazil is a agricultral country" or "Brazil has a agriculturally-based economy"? Does either work?
Answer: I would use your second example because it is more clear. Both sentences make sense, but I just feel that the second sentence sounds more professional. Just remember to use "an" before the word "agriculturally" because that word (agriculturally) begins with a vowel. (The vowels are: a, e, i, o, u. So you will need to say "an agriculturally-based").
4) One last rhing: On twitter, someone posted this
ok thinkin bout maybe doin lookbooks on my channel cuz i'm no help on the makeup front cause i do my makeup the same everyday
What does "makeup front" mean? Could you guve me other examples of front used that way?
Answer: Wow! That sentence is full of slang! When used this way, "front" just means something like "talking about makeup" or "concerning makeup". You could say: "On the boyfriend front, I still am not dating any cute boys". Or you could say: "I can't really help you on the money front because I don't have any money right now!"
Thank you very much
