1) "Turn on the jets" means he started to run and play a lot faster. "Who you got?" is a slang term and depends on the context. Usually it means the person who asked is looking for someone who has a particular set of skills. A sample conversation would be: Person 1: I heard you are looking for a new chef. I know a few people who are good cooks. Person 2: Who you got? Person 1: Well, Jack has been a chef for 10 years now so I think he would be good. 2) "He told me to go do my homework", "He left me here to go watch TV", and "He left me here and went to take a shower" are the correct forms. Hope this helps!

Hi Jordana,

1) I am unfamiliar with this expression but I assume it means to move faster or to run faster. 'Who you got?' could refer to different things, is this also about basketball? In a basketball context I would guess that it refers to 'who are you marking?' (meaning which member of the opposite team are you covering.

2)He told me to go and do my homework. He left me here to go and watch TV

3) he left me here and went to take a shower

I hope this is helpful
