I have never heard a phase like #1. Without context, it's a little difficult to interpret. Are they implying that fear increases your heart rate? Is this a medical condition? Could they mean fear can not stop you? That it motivates you to overcome difficulties. Was in translated from another language? Is this a quote that doesn't translate well? Believe it or not, I am trying to simplify the question. Where did this sentence come from? #2: "Fuzzy" is used to describe a feeling. The feeling of memories you can't quite remember. The feeling of not being able to think straight. The way your head feels if your exhausted and just can't focus. That's a "fuzzy" feeling.

All of these will result in you receiving the salt from the party you asked the question to if they want to help you. However, most Americans are very fond of lame jokes. 9/10 times if you ask an American, "Can you please pass the salt?" They will reply, "Yes." and then stare at you. It's a joke. They "CAN" pass the salt, but it doesn't mean they will. "Can you ..." is asking if someone is able to, or has the capability to do an action. "I don't know, can I?" is another popular, and lame, joke. "Could you please pass the salt?" might result in a similar situation. They might hand you the salt, or they might respond, "I could...." The use of the word "could" sometimes encourages people to make a trade. "Could you please pass the salt?" "I could if you gave me your dessert." I'm not saying this will happen, but it does often happen. People see an opportunity because they have what you want, so they become interested in benefitting from the situation. The best way to defeat this type of jokester, is to stare at them with one eyebrown raised. Eventually, they'll give you the salt without a trade. Probably... "Would you please pass the salt?" is a request for an action to be done. It is not a question of can it be done. This is more likely to result in you getting salt from the person. "Could" and "Would" do sound a bit more formal, but that's not always a good thing. Sometimes it's better to just be succinct (to the point). If you had the salt and I wanted you to give me the salt, my request would sound like this: "Salt, please." The context is obvious. The request is simple. I am still polite. and, I get the salt.

Here are a few examples of the way we might use the word "pressure" in Elementary School (K-5): "I am under pressure to complete the assignment." "Put pressure on the arm to stop the bleeding." "The pressure can increase or decrease due to heat." "They tried to pressure the teacher for more recess." "The bite pressure of large parrots is amazing." "There is so much pressure from above, the principal is exhausted." (Meaning the principal's boss is overworking them) "Deadlines create too much pressure for staff." "At recess, all the pressure was lifted from the student's shoulders and they could forget about their tests for a few beautiful moments." When used to describe the force of gravity on an object, "pressure" acts like a noun or "thing". "the pressure" When used to describe how someone feels, "pressure" acts like a verb. Something that you do. You'll see this with suffixes like "-ed", "-ing", and "-s". "was pressured" "is pressuring" "pressures" Language is fun. Good question. I've never thought about this before.

Join = to link or connect (Verb) Example: Please, "join" the charger to the cell phone. To join = an action Example: I plan "to join" my friends at the park. Take part in = to be involved Example: I will "take part" in cooking dinner. The words can be interchanged to some degree. They are synonyms. Example: Baseball Game Today, I will "join" my friends for a baseball game. Timmy asked me to "take part" because they needed a pitcher. I was happy when he asked me "to join" in. I hope this helps you.

If you would like a very detailed way to learn any word, in any language; you should review the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA is a standardized representation of the sounds of oral language. If you would like a simpler answer; the English language can be learned using phonics. Phonics is a method for teaching English reading and writing by developing a person's phonemic awareness. I apologize for the short answer. There are other temporary methods to learn a single word that may be quicker, but these are meant to concrete the fundamentals.

David, The sentence you provided is a bit unclear. I provided a few translations that may help. I am not that good at Japanese, so you may want someone to review the following, but I believe them to be correct. If I were introducing myself to someone I had never met, this is how I would write it. こんいちわ,デイビッドーさん. Konnichiwa Davido-san. (Hello, David) わたしはベルギーにいきます。 Watashi wa Belgium ni ikimasu. (I will go to Belgium). or 私はベルギーにもどりました。 Watashi wa Belgium ni modorimashita. (I returned to Belgium). or 私はベルギーにからかえってきました。 watashi wa, Belgium ni kara kaette kimashita. (I came back from Belgium). *Please let me know if you have any trouble with this answer. Also I might mention, the word "watashi" is written in Hiragana in the first sentance and Kanji in the remaining two. I hope this didn't confuse you.

I do not see any grammatical issues with your phrase. However, I read the other comments and I would like to add something. If you are in a formal situation, you may want to consider one of the following, or similar: - I apologize for the delay... - Please excuse the lateness... Using the word "sorry" is appropriate, but it can be too informal for some situations. "Sorry", is good for people you are familiar with and friends. People will know what you mean even if you do not change anything. Please let me know if you need any more help!
