Hello. Could you please tell me the difference between: As soon as I've passed my test, I'm going to buy a car. and As soon as I pass my test, I'm going to buy a car. and another pair: When we've booked the flights, we need to start looking for hotels. and When we book the flights, we will need to start looking for hotels. The author of the book used the first varian. What is the exact difference between those sentences. Thanks) If his temperature hasn't gone down, he isn't going to school tomorrow. Why can't we say: "if his temperature doesn't go down, he won't go to school tomorrow"? It looks like instead of first conditional an "upgraded" version of first conditional is used...

used to or would ? Hello, guys! I need your help. Today we've been learning grammar about using used to and would. We had two cases: 1) when we have repeated actions in the past which don't happen now we use "used to or would" "I used to (would) play football when I was a small kid (by the way do we use small kid or little kid; I know when it comes to sizes we use "small", but I've heard "little") 2) we use only used to when talk about states in the past I didn't use to like my classmates. But in the exercise we had the sentences: I used to/would hope that no one could see me. In the answers the correct option BOTH, but isn't "hope" the state of the person? Like "like"?

Help me please with the meaning of some phrases Hello! Would you be so kind and tell me how the phrase "it's sinking in" interprets in the following: Don't be mad if I cry It just hurts so bad sometimes 'Cause everyday it's sinking in And I have to say goodbye all over again I googled the phrasal verb "to sink in" and that means "to understand/digest something clearly" kind of absorb profoundly. So, what is that which the author singing it in? Does he mean that he absorbs everyday of his life and learn something new? And... I wanna live my life just like You did And make the most of my time just like You did "make the most of time"... as I got it right - to find time for something? But what does he want to find the time for? Thanks

In how many years or how many years.... in? Hello! I was wondering if I could put "in" to the end of the question like: "How many years will you become a doctor in?". I know that in english we put some preps to the end of question like: "What place are you going to?" or "What did you have your sandwitch with?" , so can we ask "How many years will you become a doctor in?" Thanks
