    Your sentence is not complete as it is. It appears that the elipsis (... the three dots) is taking the place of a missing word or words. The most logical word I can suggest is the word, "wait". "They made her wait too long in the room." That would make it a complete sentence and, yes, it is simple past tense.

    In the video you referenced in your question, the author is suggesting that you think about death more than you want to, because it could motivate you to do things that you fear doing, but will wish you had done when you get older. We seldom think about our mortality when we are young, but when you get to be my age, reality comes quickly. Many fortunes are made by people who are in the senior years of their life because they no longer fear doing the things they have dreamed about for years. When you are old, you have nothing to lose. Every endeavor is a gamble in some sense. The truly wise people are those who realize how short life is while they are still young. So to paraphrase the sentence in question: Realize your mortality while you are young, because it may spur you to take the chances that could make you successful.

    I am not sure I fully understand what you have explained about this word. Google Translate gives this translation of it: "The founding of the world" Somehow, I don't think that quite fits. The word that comes to my mind is "niche". For most of my life I labored at jobs I hated. My motivation was money, although I never seemed to have enough of it. When I got old and people would no longer hire me for the kind of jobs I was seeking, I was given the knowledge of how to teach English online to foreign students. I started doing that, mostly as a supplement to my income. I did not believe, in the beginning, that it would become my mainstay. I have been doing this now for nearly 5 1/2 years. I have taught more than 600 students from 60 countries. I thoroughly enjoy teaching foreigners how to speak my language. In all my years it never occurred to me to be a teacher. Now, when I look back on it, I realize that there were a few times that I taught others and those times are surrounded with pleasant memories. I wouldn't trade what I do now for anything in this world. The money is no longer the important part of my job. I have friends all over the world and I love my students. My only regret is that I didn't learn this many, many years ago. I have found my niche in this world and I love it! I'm not sure this fits the translation you are seeking, but I hope it helps. :-)

    The bow on a ship or boat is the front part of the vessel and the front part of the bow, or point of the bow, indicates the direction the vessel is heading or its bearing. A change in direction is indicated by the points of a compass which are measured in degrees, like the 360 degrees of a circle, 0 degrees being directly north. When the question was asked, "Bearing?", the answer came back, "three degrees on either bow", meaning no more than three degrees to the right or to the left. The vessel was heading at 139 degrees on the compass, so three degrees to the left (port) would be 136 degrees, and to the right (starboard) would be 142 degrees.

    In this context, the pronoun "it" does not refer to "these games", but rather to the act of fighting and killing. The act is singular, hence the singular pronoun.

    My translation software gave me this translation for your question: What is it saying in a while ago in English? It is just about a while ago. What is it in English? For example, I woke up just now. Is this sentence correct? Is this correct? If I understand your question correctly, "I woke up just now" (while being a grammatically correct sentence by itself) does not accurately describe the statement, "I woke up just a while ago." The word "ago" indicates some period of time in the past and "just a while ago" indicates a more specific time in the past... in this case, probably less than an hour or two in the past. "I woke up just now" would indicate that you woke up in the past few minutes.

    "Dashboard" originally was used to indicate the instrument panel (and its housing) of a vehicle. It is used on websites to indicate the particular webpage from which you can access all of the necessary information pertinent to that website. So, like the dashboard in a car giving you vital information about the navigational condition of the car, the dashboard in a website gives you the information you need to continue navigating the website.

    I left her the message for her hadn't caught her at home. І lеft hеr a mеssagе not havіng caught hеr at homе. The first one is not a grammatically correct sentence. However, if it is rewritten with different punctuation, it could depict the way someone is speaking. "I left the message for her... hadn't caught her at home." Here the author of the statement is saying that he left a specific message ("the message" indicates a specific message, as opposed to "a message", which would indicate a general message) for a specific female person, because he had not caught her at home. The speaker is actually combining two sentences, with the pronoun, "I" being understood in the second part. The second sentence is almost correct (needing a comma after the word message) and speaks of leaving a non-specific or general message for a specific female person.

    Jennifer, when something or someone is maligned, it means that it or they are spoken about unfavorably. Such is the fate of the dandelion. You rarely ever hear about its good qualities and it is usually referred to as a weed. People complain about dandelions because they grow in places where they are unwelcome.

    I need to express how modern metros are. They are equipped with the most innovative technology/ the cutting edge facilities. What else and how else could I say? Thank you I am assuming that you are talking about underground railways. They are called different things in different countries. In America we call them "'subways" as well as some other local names. In London, they are referred to as "the tube" or "the underground" . What you said is good, but I would make two sentences. "They are equipped with some of the most innovative technology. Many of them have cutting edge facilities." You could add that there are always more advances to be made, but that is dependent upon the funding that is available.
