    Most commonly it is when the price of something is unfairly high. eg "This bottle of water cost 15 euros. What a rip-off!" (this is the the sense it is mostly used. it can be a noun. which it is in this case of a verb (to rip someone off) The actual meaning of the verb is used but it usually suggests something is being actually torn. "They ripped off each others clothing" (this is quite common as well, and we say it to describe getting undressed, or undressing someone else very forcefully and passionately) "She ripped off a page from the notepad"

    It is a place name called <Urbervilles> it is d'urbervilles because it would mean <Of Urbervilles- De Urbervilles> but in french when the word >De< (of) is immediately followed by another word starting with a vowel, it is shortened to d' and joined with the next word.

    Depression is a complicated subject. Some cases of depression are caused by genetics or body chemistry. It can also be affected by stress, or even the weather. In northern countries like Norway, Sweden and Canada, people often experience Seasonal Anxiety Disorder (SAD) which is believed to be caused by long winter nights and lack of exposure to sunlight.

    The answer is: never. It is not correct grammar, and we don't say it in Canada.

    Deutsch.

    What are the Best Book Series for Learning german?

     

    A book series recommended and used by the Goethe Institut is called "Themen Neu" there are three volumes of texbooks and workbooks. There are also CDs available for the audio clips... they can be purchased separately or as a full level set (a workbook, textbook and CDs), I highly recommend this  if you are just starting out.

    Ok. Can and could: "Can" is the normal form of the verb, "could" is conditional For example " I can open the window" = I am able to open the window (and I will open the window) "Could" requires a condition "I could open the window, if I stand on this chair" = something else needs to happen for me to be able to open the window. Same for "would" and "will" "We will go to the Park" = We are definitely going to the park 'We would go to the park if it does not rain" -= We will go to the park, but we won't if it rains.

    Both are correct but have slightly different meanings. " I woke up at 5:30 am" means that you woke up at 5:30 am exactly, but "I got up by 5:30 am"means you were awake before 5:30 but we are not saying exactly what time.
