    How could you explain the difference between "to do" and "to make" to a foreign speaker? I know when to use one versus the other, but I don't know how to explain it well. Any simple rules I can give to those learning English?

    Bichos! Ayer, venia a mi casa, despues estar en vaccacion por la fin de semana, y me encontre bichos! No me gusta bichos, no senor. Hay agentes penquenos del Diablo. Por supuesto se llame mi propietario y se dije sobre mi problema. Que hace? Paso la aspiradora los bichos y que estaba todo! Nada mas! No quiero a levantarme y ecuentro bichos en mi cuerpo, en mi cama, o dondequiera, para el caso. Dormia a fuera en mi coache para evitar los bichos. En la manana, grande sopreza, todavia los bichos estaban alli. Despues los matar, texto mi propietario una vez mas sobre el bicho problemo. Es una historia muy largo, pero ella esta enojada porque piense que el falta es mio. En actual, ella necesita a resolver la problema. Pienso que lo sera bien, pero yo se que estare durmiendo en mi coche por noches a venir.

    A. This could possibly refer to a frigid wife, but that would be more slang. Another way to use this in slang would be to call someone "straight arrow" if they don't do drugs, drink alcohol, party, etc. Most commonly it means honest. B & C mean the same thing. All three are interchangeable, but C, straight shooter, is more common to hear said about a person. "They are a straight shooter." "Shoot straight with me."

    If you must format the sentences this way, then it should read, "I must get up at five. Musn't I?" You are right about the definitions of must, mustn't, and needn't, but if you are able to reword them, then it would be better to write: "Must I get up at five?" "Mustn't I get up at five? "Needn't I get up at five?" This is much easier to understand :)

    If you are talking, and then someone interrupts you, or, if you finish explaining why you did something that you did, maybe something the other person will be upset by hearing, then they might say, "save it." This basically means I don't believe you, or, I don't want to listen to you. It's a fairly rude thing to say.

    I am not sure when that would be the case. I would understand a present participle (ing word) coming before the preposition "to", but the other way around doesn't make much sense. For example, "I am to running...," doesn't sound right to start of a sentence with, but, "I am running to...," is a good way to indicate that you are running somewhere. An afterthought, something like, "I am wanting to tell you something," makes sense. It is usually used when you add a present participle before an infinitive verb. If you are putting "to" after an "ing verb", then another unconjugated verb must follow it. For example, "want(ing) (to go)", "try(ing) (to leave)", etc.

    According to educators, we should apply computer technology to second language learning because it, and its programs, can provide experiential learning, learning motivation, improve achievement, provide authentic study materials, foster more interaction from teacher to student and from student to peers, highlight individual needs, distinguish autonomy from individuality, and globally enlighten. I hope this isn't homework, because they will probably know you didn't do it.

    Use of "close" as an adjective: "This gas station is close and inexpensive." In this example, close is used geographical. It talks about where the gas station is located. Use of "closed" as an adjective: "The closed gas station was a big inconvenience," In this example, closed is used to show that the gas station is not open and you may not go in.
