    "for" or "to" Three years ago, they (parents) drove into Cardigan (a high school), dropped you off, helped you get settled and then turned around and drove back out the gates. It was an extraordinary sacrifice for them (parents). Why is it "sacrifice FOR them", not "sacrifice TO them"? In my understanding, the "sacrifice" is for the children, not parents, because it is the parents who sacrifice. Thank you.

    heavens Rain, somebody said, is like confetti from heaven. So even the heavens are celebrating this morning, joining the rest of us at this wonderful commencement ceremony. Why did it use plural form of "heaven", and use "the" in front of "heavens" of the second sentence? Because I think there is only one heaven, and there is no necessary to refer to a specific heaven.

    five years in 1. Five years in, the two parties took the wagered amount out of Treasury bonds after yields fell and put it in shares of Berkshire. That led to Buffett's charity getting more than double the promised $1 million, and bolstered his urging of investors to stick with stocks even though they can be riskier in the short-term. 1) What does "five years in" mean? 2) what does "getting more than double the promised $1 million" mean? Is "double" a noun or a verb in the sentence? 2. Buffett's advice to investors comes in a month when the U.S. equity market experienced its worst single-day plunge in almost seven years. I think "in the month" makes more sense than "in a month". Am I correct?
