- Sit down to something is like begin to do something. After school, I ate before sitting down to my homework. Between hand and page isn't really a common expression but in this case, 'delayed between hand and page,' means that the person is having difficulty writing their play. This as they say is called 'writer's block.' So, their hand is literally stopped from writing anything on the page. The Gobi thing is I believe referring to the Gobi desert. In fact that is saying that the author is unable to think or create enough to write the play. He is comparing this to an actual desert. It is a metaphor for a blank desert and a blank mind.0 votedSeptember 7, 20180
To take somebody up on something is basically saying yes to some kind of offer.
For example
I decided to take my friend up on her offer of language lessons.
I'd like to take you up on your job offer.
I took up my sister's offer of a free holiday.
I took up the offer of a lift home.
I'll take you up on that offer of a drink.
Friend: I'll buy dinner tomorrow. Me: I'll take you up on that.

It may really just depend on the context of the sentence and how many guesses you are talking about. Guess and guesses are nouns so should come after a pronoun such as my.0 votedJuly 22, 20180
I live in South Korea right now and even as a foreigner I'm always asked if I have a boyfriend or husband and kid. If I say it's none of your business, they get offended. If I say no, they ask why not? What is wrong with you? They don't understand if I say that I don't want to get married. So many people seem to think that the only way of life is getting married and having children and don't understand if you want something different.
I have asked people in my English class about their thoughts on marriage. Most were really unhappy in their marriage and the older ones were especially unhappy. One man said that even though he didn't enjoy being married but wanted his children to get married. I asked him why and he said that it's better to get married. I asked him why it's better and he said it just is. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it other than people have always done this and so it's the right way. I don't understand really. They pressure men about it but not as much as women. Also, men never get asked about being married or having children in relation to work. It seems automatically assumed that men are more competent because they are men and if there is a baby then of course the woman will take care of it.
It makes me a little crazy. I wish people would leave others ro decide what they want for their life.

If not then I'm sorry but I'm not sure what else.

You can say this, This will be the ultimate concert experience if we can get tickets. - This means you are trying to get tickets and may get some. This is a possible situation. Or, This would be the ultimate concert experience if we could get tickets. - This means either you aren't trying to get tickets or it is impossible to get them. This is not very possible.0 votedFebruary 17, 20183
