1) She decided to dismiss all the second thoughts and do it whatever it will cost. Ok, but, .... consider also. She decided to dismiss her second thoughts and do it whatever the cost. She decided to ignore her second thoughts and do it whatever the cost. 2) The company had to postpone the release of their new product because of market trouble. Fine. ... because of the troubled market. <-- means the market in general is troubled ... because of trouble in the market. <-- could be the market or the marketing of this product, ... because of marketing trouble. <-- this product is difficult to market 3) The tie between two of the leaders was handy to us because we were struggling in the relegation zone.

@Stu, I'm going to guess for #3 that "The tie against one of the leaders" could possibly mean "the connection with one of the leaders" and "came to handy to us" would likely be "came in handy for us" Best guess at the meaning: 3) "Our ties with one of the leaders came in handy because we were struggling in the regulation zone" What is particularly difficult between English and Russian is English uses "the" and "a" (definite and indefinite articles). The two languages have different ways to specify what the topic is in a sentence. In English this sentence might use "A tie with one of the leaders" or "The tie with one of the leaders" and end with "in the regulation zone" or "in a regulation zone". If previous to this sentence the reader knows which regulation zone in particular, then "the regulation zone" can be used. So to properly translate this sentence in English we need to know more about what the reader knows about "tie" and "regulation zone" to know if we should use (a/the).

Could you please clarify?} 4) The accommodation rate increased daily so I started to regret that I didn't make a reservation in advance. 5) He gains strength day by day and it won’t take him long to fully recover.
