    With American English you can use both terms, but they are used differently. In general terms you would say, "I don't like sports." but if you were referring to a single one, like baseball, you might say, "I don't like that sport."

    Generally when you use "located in" it is referring to a specific location within a larger setting. So, if you were in a library and you wanted to know which section you would find a certain book, you would ask, "what section is this book located in?". "Germany is located in Europe." "Located on" is usually used for directions or far away locations. "That house is located on main street."

    It is an older way of saying it, but yes it is correct. Most people now would just ask, "Did you arrive safely?"

    I would write it, "Whatever problems she came across, she could deal with them." But either of your choices work.

    Generally this is a busy time for most American families. There are many holidays we celebrate in a short amount of time. Most of this time is spent with family and friends, but working adults find it difficult to manage all this time. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November, Christmas is December 25, and New Year's Eve/Day is December 31-January 1. So within about 1 month there are 3 major holidays, each with their own traditions.

    This is generally a phrase that means "I have experienced this many times before." Most people who cook food have burned themselves on either the stove or a hot pan. If this person has burned themselves many times on a hot pan and they see someone else who has just been burned by a hot pan, they might say this.

    And I had the week that came from hell And yes I know that you can tell But you're like the net under the ledge But I go flying off the edge You go flying off as well So clearly he had a bad week and was upset. And this person is usually there for him "(safety) net under the ledge". "Flying off the edge" could mean he was either more upset than usual and reacted wildly or violently; and if she was "flying off as well" she was just as angry.

    "I'm going to eat dinner" is what you say if you intend to eat. "I'm going to dinner" should probably be qualified to explain where you are going, i.e. "I'm going out (to a restaurant) for dinner" or "I'm going home for dinner"

    "where means of existence is wrung so hardly from the soil" Basically it means that the people living in these villages have a difficult life farming the land. Then Churchill goes on to say, "but where there are still primordial human joys, where maidens laugh and children play." Meaning even though life is difficult there, people (especially children) still find happiness.
