In your sentence see would be the best choice

The tenses are ok but it's a bit of an unnatural way to say to what you're trying to say, a more natural way would be to say "I haven't been away this year as I've been too busy with my studies and work" or "I've only been away (enter a number here) times this year as I've been too busy with my studies & work" I hope this helps.

Question 9: What’s the meaning of ‘Bodies are dreams?’ On it's own it's flowery language from the author but if they are consciousness' inhabiting toys then their bodies that they used to inhabit when they were human beings are just dreams of what once was. Question 10: What’s the meaning of ‘Then give me your mind?’ I need more context from the story to give you a definitive answer but can they join minds/consciousness' in the world this story takes place in? Question 11: What’s the meaning of ‘So Julia takes it?’ This is hard to answer I read it like she takes his mind forcefully against his will but I could easily be wrong. I hope this helps but what book is this from?

Question 4 / 1: Here, nursery == an area in a hospital where new babies are looked after until they go home? Nursery has a few meanings in English it's a room in the home where the baby sleeps, it can be a daycare/preschool facility for very young children (usually from ages 2-5) and it can be a place to grow young plants, choose the meaning that fits best. Question 4 / 2: ‘—You are make-believe’ is said by the alien and ‘—No, I’m real. Please, I’m real. We all are.’ is said by Julia. Right? I'm not absolutely sure from your post I'm afraid but it can be read that way yes. Question 4 / 3: ‘—No, I’m real. Please, I’m real. We all are.’ --- We == Julia and Barbie and that alien? ( p.s. In this case, there are only two people and one alien, Julia, Barbie, that alien ) I'm not sure Question 5 / 1: What’s the meaning of ‘doesn’t matter they’re gone?’ It doesn't matter why they're gone, she doesn't care if they're off doing good deeds or incredibly heinous ones she only cares that they're not there Question 5 / 2: doesn’t matter they’re gone == doesn’t matter IF they’re gone? It doesn't matter WHY they're gone Question 6: but she is curious == but she is curious about if this one could drive her back alone? To drive someone back in this context means that you're pushing back against them placing them somewhere they don't want to be, think of police corralling rioters, they'd be driving them back and stopping them from progressing, so in this context if the others were there they'd drive her back but against one she may be able to defeat him & proceed. Question 7: ‘—You aren’t real. You are—’ is said by that alien, right? That's how I read it yes Question 8 / 1: Does ‘It’s in the ballpark’ mean that ‘ant farm’ is close to what that female alien says? I read this as the memory of the ant farm isn't quite right but it's close to the truth Question 8 / 2: It’s in the ballpark --- does ‘it’ refer to ‘ant farm?’ The memory of the ant farm yes Onto post 3

This is going to be hard to answer completely without more context as to the story, having read your post a few times it reads like some people's souls/consciousness' have been placed into dolls/toys is this correct? I'm going to proceed as if I'm reading it correctly but maybe if you give the synopsis of the book this is taken from I could refine these answers, having said that: Question 1: What's the meaning of 'This is the time that is no time?' This could mean that the subject of the piece is outside of the normal flow of time somehow (this is the time of my life that I didn't experience the passage of time) but without more context as to the story it's a turn of phrase that doesn't make much sense as the author seems to be being a bit flowery & poetic with their choice of words. Question 2: What does ‘It’s 1974 and there’s all the time in the world’ imply? That the subject is young in 1974 and she has her life ahead of her, she has ample time to achieve what she wants to achieve, it's almost like she has all of the time in the world. Question 3 / 1: because she’s bigger than she’s supposed to be --- what’s the meaning of ‘she’s supposed to be?’ Again without more context this is hard to answer but the phrasing "she's supposed to be" reads kind of literally she's bigger than she's supposed to be... if we stick with my toy hypothesis perhaps she's in a 12" doll instead of a 6" doll like she's supposed to be Question 3 / 2: What’s the meaning of ‘She’s supposed to be in the box?’ Yet again more context is needed but perhaps the toy box, or maybe the box is a name for a room or place in the story I'll continue this in a second post

What I know about London

I saw it from an advertising video, London Eye, The Tower of London, Westminster, Green Park and London Bridge were all included.
I knew about it from the Harry Potter novels<sherlock holmes="" set=""><jane eyre="">，each one dispalys a side of London to me.
I tasted the delicious food, Leek (leek & potato soup perhaps?) Sunday Roast, Steak and Kidney Pudding, Lancashire Hot Pot and Haggis, they all they tempt my taste buds.
I will approach it whole heartedly and experience it all.</jane></sherlock>
