Hey there, hope this helps! 1The doctor will treat you/ treat your injury soon. Which is correct? Both are correct, it depends how you want to say it. 2 I am quitting the job. Is the sentence correct? You would not say "the job" you would say either; "I am quitting", or "I quit", or "I quit this job" or "I quit my job" (past tense) If so, why can’t I say: I am loving you. The correct way to say this is " I am in love with you " or "I love you", but if I'm misinterpreting what you are trying to say, you could also phrase it as : "I have been loving you____(too long, too much etc) or "I am loving you to the best of my ability", or "I am loving you the wrong way" if you are only trying to express that you feel love for someone, it is in its simplest form; I love you. 3 Do not barge through the railway gates. Violators are subject to a fine between 500 and 1000 dollars and will be taken to court should any accidents arise. Please correct the sentence to make it sound idiomatic. Idiomatic, in American English, could be something like as follows : Do not pass beyond this point. Violators are subject to a 500-1000 dollar fine and or legal action. Let me know if you are interested in English lessons, I'd love to chat :) Nicki

#1 -- either one is fine. #2 -- "I am going to quit my job," if you're planning to do it in the future. If you are going to do it right now you would say "I quit!" If you say "I quit my job" that implies that it's in the past (you already did it). "I am loving you" implies a physical action, rather than just how you feel. "I love you" describes how you feel. #3 -- Don't go through the gates. If you do you may have to pay a fine of $500-$1000, and go to court if there is an accident.
