Hello, I am a native English speaker born in Canada. I am currently living in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I teach English language. I am presently trying to learn French; many years ago I spoke French at an intermediate level. I can offer my English language skills in exchange. I also speak Russian at an upper intermediate level.

    You don't need to use the word "on" with the verb discuss, which already means" talk about". You discuss the topic. Let's discuss the way forward tomorrow. Correct. Let's discuss on the way forward.....the use of "on" is redundant, but not absolutely incorrect. Sometimes when speaking people choose to be redundant in order to stress their point, so in the sentence" Let's discuss on the way forward tomorrow.", the speaker could be using 'on' in order to stress the point . However with the noun discussion, you can use on. For example, Let's have a discussion on the way forward tomorrow.

    The 'act' refers to the debates, which are similar to a performance or act. The word 'class' refers to something that is of high quality. Put them together and you have " two of them --the class of the act--", which refers to the two highest quality debaters.

    Hello Jordana I don't have time for all four questions, but I'll do my best to answer 2): The word "working" here is a noun not a verb. It is part of the gerund phrase "working on behalf of the community". It would be better written as "bring them INTO, instead of IN TO. The meaning of "bring them into" is -- to guide them into, to introduce them into, to make them part of . Examples: Hillary brought them into the Democratic Party. The shepherd brought the stray lamb into the fold.

    It's not quite clear what the writer means here. It could have these possible meanings: 1. At least you got rain. = At least you had rain. = At least it rained. 2. At least you (have) got rain. = At least you've got rain. = At least you have rain. In number 2 you have a slang version of "have got" without the "have".

    timzhuk, "There's a good fellow" is not a common expression, but it could be translated into Russian as "Вот молодец!". It is a kind of praise for the hobbit who was providing the food.
