This "-ed" sound is pronounced the way one would say the "Ed" in the name Eddie. When putting a present verb, like "I love" into the past tense you simply add a "-d" to the ends, for the verb ends in the vowel "e" already. For a verb that ends in a consonant, like "I play", you add an "-ed" to the end, to make it "I played". Hope this helped!

This expression is a metaphor that compares the idea of a car running without gas in the tank to a person who is still active while being tired or hungry.

It's an English expression that implies revenge or enforcing justice. An example would be if someone stole something from you and you were "getting even with them" by stealing something of theirs.

Technically they have the same meaning, but in everyday-English "persons" sounds more formal and is usually used in the justice system, for example "persons in question". It is much more common to say "people" when speaking regularly.

"She is older than me" is correct because there is a difference in English between "me" and "I", which tends to be very confusing--even for a native speaker. "I" is more subjective in English, or usually performs an action. You'd say "I went to the store" and not "Me went to the store". "Me" is usually used in the case of an accusative direct object or dative indirect object. "She bought the book for me" would be a dative usage and "She likes me" would be an accusative usage. Replace "me" with "I" in any of these instances and the sentence would no longer be correct. Hope this helps!

These words are prepositions and yes, they can be difficult to use. Any preposition can be used in the context of what you can do to a box. You can stand on a box, with a box, by a box, etc. Here are some examples that may help! ON: Standing on something. Usually used when describing where you are. An example would be "I am on the bridge." You are positioned on top of it. BY/WITH/FROM: All are a part of the ablative case. "by" is used in many ways, like "The dress was made by me" or "she's standing by me." Preposition with can show accompaniment, like "I walked with Sally." AT: Is part of the accusative case and is used in conjunction with a direct object to describe the time in which something is occurring or the place in which something is occurring. "The plane will land at 12 o'clock" or "I will meet you at the station". TO/FOR: Are part of the dative case and are taken with an indirect object, such as "I bought the book for you". Book is the accusative direct object of the verb, but the dative indirect object accompanied with the preposition "for" further describes the action. The main purpose of prepositions are to further describe the actions and once your English improves it will come more naturally. My knowledge of Latin really helped me with my English grammar. Good luck!

They are synonymous, really. There is one difference, however. A delay is more spontaneous in a way than a postponement. A delay can occur at random while something is usually planned to be postponed. People are given fair warning when something is postponed, while someone can be delayed in traffic without warning.

"Come around" can be used in many ways. 1. "I hope Susie will come around and say 'hi'!" come around meaning "stop by". 2. "She said no to my proposal, but she'll come around." come around meaning having a change of heart, or changing one's mind.
