My night

I had a bad night, one of my daugthers barfed at 3 am. She has been feeling bad this week and barfed in other times too. She has a trouble at sore throat with phlegms. She dirtied the threw up on the bed sheets and I need put them in the washing machine to wash them. I love my daughthers, but I don't like these kinds of situations.

Can somebody help me? I don't know if I used correctly the words phlegms, barf and dirty correctly. I would like to know how a native speaker would say these ideas.

Thanks in advance.


Like the other corrector said, "barf" is an informal word. I didn't correct your usage of it because it's technically correct. I say "barf" all the time. However, it's pretty informal. To give an example, most kids would say barf. Adults might also say barf to be funny. Adults will more commonly use "throw up" or "vomit" instead. "Vomit" is the most polite word and is the word a doctor would use. As for "phlegms", I believe there is never a need to add an 'S' to the end, because "phlegm" itself is plural. It's also not incorrect to say she "dirtied the sheets", but it sounds better to say she "threw up on the sheets" or perhaps she "soiled the sheets."

"Barf" isn't necessarily wrong, but it isn't really a professional word and it "sounds gross". Usually people would say "throw up". A context where someone would say "barf" might be... "Woah, that girl barfed all over the place! How embarrassing!"
