I am a native English speaker. I took Spanish classes about 8 years ago but I never learned to speak Spanish very well because I never had anyone to practice with. I understand Spanish fairly well but get nervous to speak. I speak at an early intermediate level but I would like to become more fluent. I am also just starting to learn Italian.

    Question

    Hi, there

    Could you help me with some questions?

    1) does it sound odd to say "I am off into the heat for a run"? I am asking that because I once heard someone say "I am off into the cold".

    2) Does it sound odd to say "I've got hot news/the latest scoop/gossip about .." if you are talking to friends?

    3) If you are in a museum room and you want to ask the guide about the paintings, should I say "Are they all Picasso's?" or "Are they all Picassos?"
    Neither?

    Thank you very much!


    Hi. I'm a native English speaker.

    1. I think someone would more typically say: "I am going for a run in the heat/cold" or "I am off for a run in the heat/cold". You could say, "I am off into the heat/cold for a run." but this doesn't sound as natural.

    2. You could say all three of those things, although I think it is more common with friends to say, "I have some gossip about." or "I have a piece of gossip about...."

    3. I think the correct grammar would be, "Are they all Picassos" meaning that they are all painted by Picasso.  "Are they all Piccasso's" means "do they all belong to Picasso?". The apostrophe makes Piccasso possesive.

    I hope that helps.
