Hi Zhuravleva, I love fashion, so this is a great topic for me! They aren't sentences, more statements. But if you were describing them each to me you might say: There is a red and white striped dress (usually you say the colour first before white) There is a yellow and green checked shirts There is a plain blue blouse There is a denim sundress with (something) on it - sorry stresses doesn't relate to clothing? If you'd like to discuss further, I have some availability at the moment and I'd be pleased to help: https://www.italki.com/jessicagthree

Hi Kai, there are some grammar errors in all of the sentences, but I think I know what you'd like to say. What about rephrasing it this way: I can see your humanity shining through like a benevolent Jesus Christ. If you'd like to discuss further, I'm adding new students at the moment: https://www.italki.com/jessicagthree

Hi Debora. The first is a little bit too formal, you could possible ask it in written English, but not in spoken English. The second is more natural and your grammar is correct too. I have some availability if you have any more questions to talk about: https://www.italki.com/jessicagthree

It means that a lot of people passed by them as they stood in the hallway.

It means that they are sorry, but it’s not possible.

1) This means that confessions were only given under extreme pressure, which you could almost call torture. This could be psychological or emotional pressure rather than physical pain, which would be torture. 2) This is an example of rhetorical technical. It’s saying that if anyone did anything at all bad to the woman or girl, even just touch one of the hairs on her head, then they should be very worried. You could also say ‘They never thought I'd amount to anything, but look at me now!’ or ‘Your behaviour amounts to an insult’. ‘If anyone so much as says a word, you’ll all get a detention!’

I suppose it’s a reasonable supposition She supposed it was a reasonable supposition

I think she is thinking about blackmail, but doesn’t want to admit it even to herself. She’s going to give it a more legitimate name ‘breach of trust’, implying that those she would incriminate it deserve it, that’s it’s their fault (even if it really isn’t!).
