questions
Hi, there
Can you help me with some questions? Please!
1) When I use "bring up" followed by "that clause", should I use "it" between bring and up?
"Do you really have to bring IT up that you are dating her?"
2)
Let's say I am sitting in the emergency exit row window seat( can I say "emergency exit row window seat? )on a plane. In the row in front of me there are only two seats, so the space right in front of me is empty (can I say that a space is empty to mean there is no seat right in front of me??? This is, I am in the row 18, with three seats, and then there is the row 17, with only two seats) .
Then I want to go to the bathroom, but one person next to me is sleeping, and I don't want to wake her up. Could I say "I will go out THROUGH HERE "...(the row in front of me) I mean, the row 17? Is that odd?
3) What does mean when you say a TV series "shoot out of order"?
4) Can you say a person "made a mark on your life"?
Thank you very much!5) Do you say "If you were to use the car, can you get $40 dollars of gas(petrol) for me?" or "If you were to use the car, can you put in $40 dollars of gas(petrol) for me?". If neither, How would you say that?
Thank you a lot!

Hi,
(1) I'd prefer "Do you really have to bring up *the fact* that you are dating her?". I would use IT (or THAT) only once it is clear what IT is, not before. You could say for example - "We all know you're dating her but do you really have to bring that up now?"
(2) I wouldn't say "the space is empty". Your last sentence is fine but how about "I'll go out *this way*" because you are not going "through" anything but space
(3) "to shoot" is "to film". Therefore it means the various scenes were filmed in a different order to the order in which they are presented
(4) Yes!
