    When someone says, "It is a win-win," they are meaning "It is a win-win situation" and it means that both sides win. There is not a losing side. However, while most people DO add the word "situation," it is not necessary.

    Urban dictionary defines it as: "An exclamation of enthusiastic agreement which can be used in both a genuine or sarcastic tone." In everyday English, you do not hear that phrase. It is an odd one and almost never used.

    Yes it does. So far, no one else has answered your question. And up to now (which really should be "up until now"), no one else has answered your question. Same thing.

    "By all means" grants permission. Example: "May I drive?" "By all means" (that means yes.) "By no means" means "Not at all; certainly not." Example: "May I drive?" "By no means." (that means no.) "By any means" follows a negative and means "in any way; at all." For example, "I am not an expert driver by any means" (This means "I am NOT an expert driver at all") "By means of" means "with the help of." Example: "Supplies arrive at the stores by means of a truck." That means with the help of a truck, the supplies arrive at the stores. I hope this helps!!

    Jorge, your second and third words are in the wrong order. It should be " Would there be any..." Also, your use of "were" is past tense, and your sentence is asking something for the future. So, that part should be, "If any tickets become available." However to shorten it and sound more fluent, it would be appropriate to say, "Would you please email me if any tickets become available?" I hope this helps!

    You are correct in your assumption.

    "Improve" means "to get better at something." For example: "His grades improved" means "His grades got better." "Boost" is more intense. It means "an upward shove" or "to increase." So an example would be, "The prices were boosted for a larger profit." which means "The prices were raised so a larger profit would be made." I hope this helps!

    You will find many English speakers who do not correctly use the word finished. Here is the correct meaning of both: "Finished" is the end of something: Class is finished. I am finished writing. I am finished trying. "Done" relates to cooking (in the sense you are asking): The chicken is done. Is the meat done?

    There is no difference. Both mean the same thing and are used interchangeably. Both are correct.

    When you don't mind: "No, I don't mind at all!" When you DO mind: "Yes, I do mind."
