October 2011 - I have been studying Japanese for about two years now. It is difficult but rewarding. We spent the month of September 2010 in Japan and visited 9 cities while there. I am also interested in French and studied it for a couple of months prior to my last trip to Paris. Currently, however, I am not studying French. We love to travel and spend between 12 and 16 weeks per year traveling. Besides visiting numerous cities in the United States, we have been to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Aruba, France, England, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Senegal, India, Hong Kong, China and Japan. Traveling the world, meeting people and enjoying the culture, and foods, of the world are our joys in life.

    hard feelings - typical idiom meaning bad feelings (it is usually said to try to make sure you did not mean harm) heart feelings - are you aure it was not "hurt feelings"? again, this means bad feelings, something happened that hurt me. Also, there is a word, heartfelt, which means something that is very deeply or sincerely felt "My friend's father died and I am filled with heartfelt sympathy for her." Finally, a writer might use the term "heart feelings" to imply that the feelings were ones that warmed your heart (cheered you up, made you feel good). It is not a common term.

    Number 1. It means we will contribute to the best of our abilities. The second sentence is not a complete thought and while someone might say it poetically, it is not normal English and its meaning is very much subject to interpretation.

    While it is not "wrong", it would be better written as follows: This is the most precious gift that you can buy for your children and loved ones. "That you can buy" modifies "gift". The more words that exist in a sentence between a term and its modifier, the more awkward the sentence sounds. While it is okay to separate the two, often it is best to have them right next to each other.

    Actually, both are fine, but whenever is better. While your definition of whenever is correct, whenever also means "when", but said emphatically. In this case, it can imply that the point in time at which they will sell their house is quite unknown. As for by the time, this means, before or at the exact same time as. So, while "They will have left the area by the time they sell their house." or "They will leave the area by the time they sell their house." are both more typical statements, "They are going to leave the area by the time they sell their house." also works if the two happen at the same instant in time. Having said all of that, "They are going to leave the area whenever they sell their house." is the correct choice, remembering that in this case "whenever" just means "when".

    It is an idiom. It means to look at or observe; to notice something. It is most often used when the speaker believes the item being noticed is a bit strange or unexpected. Get a load of this (pink , blue, orange and yellow) car! The colors would not normally be stated, so it would just be "Get a load of this car!" since the speaker would expect the listener to notice what is odd as soon as they see the car.

    It is just fine. The gerund form (ing) just expresses an ongoing condition. In this case, you could have written the sentence as: I "CONTINUE TO HAVE HOPE THAT I WILL" do something. This is shortened by replacing the words in quotes with : "AM HOPING TO" which is a much more concise, as well as more commonly used, phrase.

    1. unmistakable JFK stamp - its style of writing had characteristics of the style of writing JFK used in books which he wrote 2. which could be discerned in Kennedy's first book - which gould be seen in the first book which Kennedy (JFK) wrote. In the book co-authored by Ted Sorenson and Ted Kennedy, you could find similarities between the writing style in their book and the first book that John F. Kennedy wrote (which was written long before Ted Sorenson met Ted Kennedy).

    It means that the trade unions were supported by parties other than the Labour Party. The sentence could be rewritten as: The trade unions were no longer just the constituency of the Labour Party. The trade unions were no longer the constituency of only the Labour Party. There is an unstated thought or fact which would be: The trade unions were no longer the constituency of the Labour Party alone, they are now also the constituency of the XXXXX Party.
