Hi Maurizio, Good question! Fortunately we do have some helpful ''rules'' to help you remember what articles to use when! Here they are: - All words that are made smaller with (e)(t)je are neuter (de vrouw – het vrouwtje, de man – het mannetje), - Practically all words that and on standard suffixes like -ing, -ij, -ie, -e and -heid are feminine (de vereniging, de bakkerij, de politie, de dame, de moeilijkheid), - All infinite verbs used as nouns are neuter (het eten, het fietsen), - Words starting with standard prefixes like ge-, ver, ont- and be- and not ending on -ing are neuter (het gevaar, het verhaal, het ontzag, het beslag), - Words ending on -el or -er are quite often de-words (de tafel, de beker), - Buildings, however, are often het-words (het theater, het huis, het station – just not de bioscoop, since that ends on -scoop, which is one of those standard suffixes), - In plural all words get de (de vrouwtjes, de boeken) and, naturally, all words referring to persons(individuals) are de-words (de minister, de bakker). Hope these are helpful for you.

Hello Nick, It could help to take the translation literally. Ligt = something or someone lies somewhere or on a surface Zit = something or someone is seated, finds oneself, is, somewhere or on a surface Staat = something or someone is standing somewhere or on a surface For example: De koffie zit in het kopje = the coffee is in the cup Hij is/zit in het gebouw = He is in the building, he is seated in the building Hij ligt in het gebouw op de grond = He lies on the ground in the building Hij staat bij de bali in het gebouw = He is standing at the counter in the building Hij zit bij de krant = he sits by the newspaper Hope this was helpful for you!

Hi Peter, I have a question, just to be sure. Are you talking about the medical field here? Thanks!

Hello Helen, Good question. To bring back is a phrasal verb meaning: to make somebody remember something or think about it again, like in your case. Including 'back'' your sentence is perfect! Without ''back'' it would be not correct in this context. Hope this helps!

''Rub'' Move one's hand or a cloth repeatedly back and forth on the surface of (something) with firm pressure, like massaging. ''Polish'' Make the surface of (something) smooth and shiny by rubbing it like waxing. ''Scrape'' Push or pull a hard or sharp tool across (a surface or object) so as to remove dirt or other matter like sanding. ''Wipe'' Clean or dry (something) by rubbing its surface with a cloth, a tissue, or one's hand, like mopping the floor. ''Scratch'' To cut or damage a surface or your skin slightly with or on something sharp or rough like damaging your skin on roses.

It simply means ''Stay with me'' like a companion or friend does.

In my opinion they are both correct. These expressions are very similar.

''In over his head'' is figurative speech. It means that he is involved in a situation that is too difficult for him to deal with. For example: Calculus is very hard for me. I'm in over my head. Hope this helps!
