Hi Scott,
In the particular sentence I've written you couldn't have two verbs next to each other: to be + fear. You could say: to be fearful(adjective) of but the only one you can choose from the list to fit here is: be afraid of.

"Why not? There is nothing to be afraid of. After all it won't be just us in the balloon."
Could you please write in other words the sentence "After all it won't be just us in the balloon."?
Thank you in advance |

It means that there will be other people in the balloon as well -- they won't be on their own. The implication here is that someone who knows what they're doing will be handling the balloon.
"After all..." - emphasises something to be considered. "I think you should invite her to the party. After all, she is your boss." "He should know. He is our chairman, after all." _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
