    Sounds good. You could use "and" in place of the comma, or even a semicolon. "And" would be more informal and probably work better if it were spoken. A semicolon would be more formal and not as common if you wrote this to someone. You could also use a period, if it were written. These are all minor suggestions. The phrase as written is would work, but realize that you have to independent clauses (sentences?) if you write it. If it is to a professor, I would go with a period and two sentences. If it is to friends and spoken, I would go with and and ditch the comma. Those who disagree with me may be right <g>. https://readable.com/blog/readable-grammar-101-semicolons/

    Dear Ahd, "bring bad luck to; cast an evil spell on. "the play is jinxed"" I would say that jinx is a verb and similar to the word curse, in the sense the curse means bad luck oftentimes in the context of a curse being placed on someone by a deity, The Deity, a witch, a warlock, etc in the context of the occult (magic, dark arts, etc). A jinx can be something similar, but I would say a jinx has the context of being more situational and not actively placed. This is not strict or all the time. Someone could say that they place a jinx on someone and it would be understood, but I view it as closer to "bad luck" than a curse or a hex (a witch could hex someone, for instance, or curse someone and it is volitional, purposeful). I would say a jinx is more innate to the person or whatever that is jinxed and closer to bad luck than a curse. Of course, there are common exceptions. The Red Sox baseball team used to be famous for losing all the time and "break the curse" because a mantra for them. Some would disagree with this interpretation of jinx and they would have a point and side. // If you want to use the word jinx, I suggest you think about jinx as a verb and jinxed as the participle better to describe a noun. "I think this will work out." "Oh no, don't jinx me." vs. "I think this house is jinxed." It's unlucky, it's bad luck to even be in the house. / Just some thoughts. None of this is strict or meant for a rigid guideline. Jinx, curse, and hex could be used pretty much interchangeably. Good luck and best wishes.

    I'd say this is an aggressive phrase in this context. it implies that the speaker is dissatisfied and the situation is not over with future conflict pending. A variation this is "you'll be hearing from my lawyer." Another variant might be "this isn't over." Obviously the last one does not use hearing. If said in a huffy voice, it implies future conflict. You'll be hearing from me need not be threatening. If said with a smile, it could be a promise. Think of a man flirting with a woman, they exchange phone numbers. One says, "call me." The other replies, "Oh yeah, you'll be hearing from me!" with a smile. Grammatically, you raise a point, but you see the same thing with "I'll be seeing you." Same issues, context and idiom. The actor who played Moriarty was great. He and Cumberbatch played off of one another very well. Watson (Martin F) was also very good. I hope this helps. Best wishes in your studies.

    Written Exercise 92 – I Wondered What they are called in English Please take a look at the highlighted objects in the pictures. They are called蚊帐in Chinese and are made from yarns. They look like a tent but they are put on beds. It is a necessary thing in most Chinese houses. It can keep annoying mosquitoes away from you when you sleep in objects. Have you ever seen them or used them? What do native English speakers call them? HelpMeCorrect#

    I'd say claws for nails is not in typical casual conversation. But it can be used to convey anger, aggressiveness, or being attacked. Also, I'd say it has a feminine connotation, but it need not be strictly feminine. Examples: He's so hen pecked (nagged) that he has claw marks. (this is metaphorical and there need not be physical. if there is physical abuse, it could be a partner scratching and injuring their partner, but I'd say more often it is a metaphor). You can take your claws out of me. I don't feel them anymore. Nice try. (man to a woman, you can stop verbally abusing me, I don't feel it anymore and I don't care anymore). Let's claw into this problem! (let's attack this problem with intensity). In common speech, if you call someone's nails claws, it may also be construed as ugly. Other comments about claws below are good. These are just some examples. Sometimes with friends, as described below, it can indicate familiarity, but unless you know the English language and friends well, I'd be careful with that one, especially as a man to a woman. "Paws" also implies animal behaviors. For instance, "He pawed all over her on that date" can have a sexually aggressive date and if recited by a woman to decide an unwanted advance, it can have a very negative connotation. Sometimes, as described below with female friends, it can be endearing. Mom to kids: OK, kiddies, show me your paws. I am from the middle states and south of the Ohio River. Some of what I talk about may be a bit southern USA dialect, but I'd say this would be true no matter where in the USA you are. Best wishes to you and your studies. I hope it helps.

    I don't have the context of the sentence, but it sound to me like it addresses racism. "We are family," "we are all one family," "when you see a stranger, you should not see a stranger, but rather a friend waiting to be made" might be phrases expressing the opposite of this thought. Making the other the "other" means you see this individual as different from you and become defensive. Some of what you write about "other" may be on the edge of poetry, but again, I only have one sentence with which to work. I hope this helps you. So, after writing this, have I overcome my "otherness?" Warm regards.
