Perguntas sobre exemplo de orações com, e a definição e o uso de "Consumes"

A: They mean what consumes your mind(a thought you predominately have) will control how you go about/live life. This is a tough one to give an example for but if a negative thought is consuming your mind/always on your mind, it can dictate how you act in your everyday life. Im really sorry i feel like that was a horrible explanation!

A: “Her excitement for the new Mario movie consumed her.”
“After the death of his wife, he was consumed by sadness.”
“I was consumed by the need to get good grades.”

A: Agree with Pigeon603. I would not say "It consumes time". I would say "It's time consuming" or "It wastes time" or "It takes too much time" or "It takes too long"

#2 means it requires a lot of time, and patience is needed.

A: Hello

A: When you consume something, it is not usable after you are finished (there is no more product). For example, you can consume a hand cream or a chocolate bar, but you don't consume a computer.
When you say 'to consume a product', it means to use until it is not usable anymore.
Consuming also has the idea of buying a product; a consumer is someone that buys a certain product, a client ('this new ad will attract more consumers') and the consumer society (consumerism) is the society we live in, where we buy-consume-throw-buy,...

A: This is excellent! I would add a couple of words, and maybe break it into two sentences:
"Constantly speaking consumes a lot of energy, just like scrolling 'through' those short videos that don't have 'any' content. It's better to focus on yourself and do your own thing, even though it's going to be hard at the beginning."

We usually say 'do your own thing' instead of 'do your own things', this expression means to do the things that you are interested in.

'... consumes a lot of energy' is perfectly correct, but it's a little formal. Most people would probably say '... takes a lot of energy'

Good writing!

A: 'It takes a lot of time and energy' is a standard expression, meaning you personally spend time and energy to do something.

We don't use 'consume' in this way. Instead, we say:
This device consumes a lot of energy. (it does not use both 'energy' and 'time')

Please explain what 'it' refers to for another answer.

A: It sounds a bit strange. Better to say: it’s really time and energy-consuming
