    Something that you say when you cannot accept someone's invitation to do something but you would like to do it another time. A - "Shall we meet for lunch?" B - "I have some errands to do, can I take a rain check?" A - "No problem, maybe tomorrow."

    The second verb needs to be in the infinitive "to analyse".

    This is probably an american phrase, I've never heard of it in Britain. We would probably refer to this kind of shop as "the corner shop" and it does not matter if the shop is on a corner or not.

    I have not used the website you mention, but I work in the industry. The problem is the phrases are very specific to the ATC environment, usually spoken very quickly, often referencing reporting points, beacons, etc. that will not mean a lot unless you are familiar or have a map of the specific airspace and routes they are talking about. Even then, it is sometimes difficult to understand unless you know what you are expecting to hear. If you have any specific examples of phrases or words I will try and explain them.

    Yes, stop making a noise is correct english. I can't explain why, but english is my mother tongue. I can hear my mother saying it to me when I was child.

    Not sure if what tense you want. Past: When I returned home from the office my wife was waiting for me. (don't forget the article "the" before office) Future: When I return home from the office my wife will be waiting for me. Past: When I got home from the office my wife was waiting for me. Future: When I get home from the office my wife will be waiting for me.

    In an example such as "we watched a film/movie" there is no difference between the words. My personal feeling is that the word "movie" is used more by americans and "film" is used more by british, but both words are totally acceptable.

    I don't entirely agree with Norman. Yes, 'nostalgic' means to think about people or things that happened in the past, but it can be happy or sad.

    Chichester is on the south coast, Boreham wood is North London. The distance (by road) is about 80 miles (130km) and would take 2 hours to drive or longer depending on the time of day. By train it will take 2 hours and 20 minutes.

    Ahmed is correct, but it can also refer to marriage. For example "Will you give me your hand in marriage?", which is a 'proposal' for marriage, a request to marry someone. When asking this question it is not necessary to speak the last two words, "Will you give me your hand?" is sufficient, the rest of the sentence is usually obvious from the situation. It is a little old fashioned, but perhaps you heard it in a film, and I'm sure people still say it in here, in England.
