Killers in the box? Is this an idiom or something? What does it really mean? It's a soccer coach complimenting the offence of their team's rival. I didn't know its meaning could be so dependent on context. Could you also post some common usages in which the meanings are quite different from this one? Many thanks.

What's the pronunciation of 'didn't' in 'she didn't', 'he didn't', 'I didn't', etc? For example, 'she didn't' often sounds like a two syllable word "shee n", instead of a three syllable word "shee did n" and this confused me. Thanks in advance.

Tenses Greetings. I read the below sentence on the Atlantic(http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/10/working-architectural-designer/505718/) and didn't understand why the present simple verb ''believe' was used in the clause after the past simple verb ''found''. It's against the grammar rule I have been taught. '' In a study earlier this year, the American Institute of Architects found that female architects largely believe that there isn’t gender equality in their industry, and cited familiar concerns about work-life balance, long hours, and inflexible schedules as reasons for the underrepresentation of women in the field.''

Pronunciation of ''English speaker'' I find it hard to pronounce this phrase smoothly. Do native speakers reduce the sound ''sh'' as in English in spoken English? Thanks in advance!
