A: "at" can mean "in the direction of" or "on the border of" (similar to 까지 in feeling)

"let's throw the ball at the school" can be translated to "공을 학교에서 던지자" or "공을 학교로 던지자".

"stop at the corner" would mean that once you reach the corner, you stop.

so "at the second expression" suggests that you will do something once you reach that second expression, or that you will do something in the direction of the second expression.

"look at the second expression" (action directed in the direction of)
"take out your pencils at the second expression" (action performed once it is reached)

"in the second expression" concerns the contents of the expression.

"look in the second expression for the number of 'e's used"
"the answer to your question is in the second expression".

"expression" differs from "sentence" in that it is a sentence with a figurative meaning. a common one in english is "pinch me, I must be dreaming". it "expresses" one's disbelief, but it not to be taken literaly. pinching the person is not the right response to that statement, if you do, they might respond with "ouch! it was just an expression!".

"expression" is also used in mathematics. a mathematical expression is what is on either side of the = sign in an equation, like 5 + 6.

a "sentence" is any set of words that a grammatically correct that have a subject and a verb in it.

"I eat" is a sentence.

"sentence" also has a second meaning as a punishment given to you through a government as punishment for a crime

A: Use "Are you" when the verb "are" is used in the statement form of the sentence.
Use "Do you" when the verb "are" is not used in the statement form of the sentence

"You walk" - "Do you walk?"
"You do" - "Do you?"

"You are walking" - "Are you walking?"
"You are sad" - "Are you sad?"
"You are" - "Are you?"

A: If I were explaining how to use a phrase like this ( let’s use “straight up” as an example ) it could look like this:
The expression “straight up” is very casual, and should not be used in writing. Instead, its use should be restricted to only spoken conversations.

To make your version natural, you should add the word “when” to make it more specific. So, that would be:

“Straight up” is an expression we use only when speaking.

A: "You can use this expression in daily conversation."

In this sentence "conversation" is used more of a theme or topic. Within the theme of conversation (which could be talking about one or several) you can use this/these expression(s). So within the topic of conversation this expression can be used.

"You can use this expression in daily conversations."

In this "conversations" simply means the plural. So every day you can use this expression in various conversations.

I hope this helps~

A: The phrase 'Please excuse me,' is a polite expression.

To be 'polite' is to be courteous. You would want your children to be polite when they speak to their elders, or when they are in school.

The way a ballerina dances is graceful.

You could say, "She spoke with a graceful expression on her face," but that would be a little clunky. It would be better to say, "She spoke gracefully."

You probably wouldn't describe an expression as graceful. Actions are only graceful in the way they are performed.

Expressions technically could be graceful... but at that point, you'd be talking about the act of expressing. Not what they say, but how they say it.

In summary: You speak politely. You act gracefully.

A: "Don't do everything all at once" is a common way to express the opposite of "one at a time"

A: "I really appreciate your detailed answer" ("detailed" is an adjective that refers to the noun "answer"; "in details" usually refers to a verb: "I explained the situation in details" = I explained every detail/part of the situation).

In my mind there is little to no difference between "I really appreciate it"' and "I really appreciate that".
If you use a passive ("It's really appreciated") then you're putting more focus on the thing that is being appreciated, and not on the fact that you are grateful ("I really appreciate it"). So in a more formal environment you may hear "It's really/highly appreciated". For example, if you are writing a formal e-mail you can say "Your kind assistance on the matter is highly appreciated", so that you don't emphasize that YOU are grateful, but that the assistance is important and will be appreciated.

So I would use the second and third one with friends*/less formal situations, and the first: in more formal ones.

*Be careful not to overuse "I really appreciate it/that" when talking with (close) friends, because it expresses more gratitude than just "thank you", and may sound odd. If you dropped your eraser (which is something trivial and small) and your friend picked it up for you it may be better just to say "Thanks/Thank you" instead of "I really appreciate that". If you asked your friend to help you with your math homework, then it's fine to say it because helping you with that is not a small thing.

As you get more exposure to English, you will pick these things up, don't worry. :)

A: yes, "one and a half hours." just make sure its plural hours.

A: I don't want to do my homework, but I ought to if I want to get a good grade.

You ought to have called her back.

You ought to apologize after that.

Most people say 'should have' instead, but ought is more like, you should do it because it is your duty or responsibility. A lot of people still use the word.

A: I wouldn't say "I erupted laughing". I would say "I burst out laughing", "I busted up laughing", "I cracked up", "I died laughing", etc. These are mostly just colloquial (slang) phrases.

A: I’ve only ever seen businesses use the phrase “out of order.” Example: This ATM is out of order. I wouldn’t use it for anything I actually own. In your examples, I would just say my phone is broken.

A: A is more correct, but you have to use "I" in the beginning too. Also, it's "the lottery", not "a lottery".

So, the correct form of saying this is "If I could win the lottery and go to Tokyo, I would eat Kobe beef."

A: It might refer to a bill of sale or a bill of lading, a document recording the goods that are supposed to be present in a shipment. If a load of goods fits its bill, everything that should be there is there.

A: the first one, “i believe you’ll support me” means that you trust that the person will support you

the second one, “i’m counting on you to support me” more means that you need the person to support you or expect them to support you

so they have slight differences, but they are similar and both natural :)

A: to reopen old wounds exists ( but not sores)
