    The second sentence is correct (Are you Rachel’s friend). It is also acceptable to ask, Are you a friend of Rachel’s? The apostrophe must be used in both sentences because the friend belongs to Rachel. It indicates possession. Other examples are: John’s dog is sick. Sally’s brother lives next door. Robin’s smile makes me happy.

    The only phrase that sounds natural is “I swear I won’t tell anyone.”

    It sounds better to say "He's watching me" since both neighbors can see each other, it's not secret or peeking. If one was trying to hide the fact that he was watching the other, it would sound more natural to say "He's peeking at me (through the window blinds)."

    Some people say they have no regrets, but if they tell the truth they have lots of them. Does that sound like a good example?

    I have heard of other words with this same usage, such as outperform, outplay, outshot, outgunned, outlast, outspeak, outdo, and the list goes on.

    I'd be careful making up your own word by putting the word out in front of it, though. Although a native speaker might understand, learners might be confused.

    I agree you should look a word up or google it, before you use it. Just to be sure. Unless it is very commonly used.

    I agree with Laura.


    It doesn't sound natural. Native speakers keep it simple. I would choose this one, or even better, I'd take this one.
