It was fun to speak with Kate. She is very nice and friendly. Kate is also eager to learn and has a good foundation of knowledge about the Swedish language. Thank you for a great conversation!

    Wow, in this instance you could make a strong argument for either option, for different reasons. But I agree with Joe that lack is the slightly better option because it seems they are attempting to list two different character traits, instead of saying that dreamy people tend to lose (their) concentration.

    the second option is inorrect, as 'both' means more than one, so it must read "by both countries." If you fix that error, the answer to your question is no- they are likely to be very different, but I cannot know without more pieces of the sentence.

    I would not advise it. Because both of these sentences are in the past tense, it would really only be appropriate to use these sentences if you were saying "good-bye" to someone who you do not expect to ever see again, or who you do not think you will see for many more years.

    What is the difference? Is there any difference in context between these two sentences? * Hon är chefen för avdelningen * Hon är chefen över avdelningen Thanks!

    "I don't like violence, but you'll understand my position' is a phrase that is used to mean "I hope you will understand my reasons for deciding to act in violence, despite my dislike for it."

    Hi! are you certain this does not read "a bag of Bugles"? If you were reading an e-book especially, even well established books can be full of these types of errors. Bugles are a brand of snacks that were very popular a few decades ago in the US. They still exist, but can be a little difficult to find.

    "He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders" is a similie because it uses "like" (or you can use "as") to directly compare two different things. Comparison= what he feels to what he might (but doesn't ACTUALLY) feel. If you were to say "he wore the weight of the world on his shoulders" it would be a different kind of metaphor- a hyperbole.
