Dear Mr. Torsten
would you please explain why we can't considerably instead of awfully. If I am not wrong awfully means "badly"(isn't it).
it's confusing me please explain why considrably not?
thanx

Unfortunately, Nobody from the teachers team here for months. I don't know why!
That is because in their emails they urge and invite us to participate in the forum, whereas no teachers are here!!
I hope that everything are OK and they come back soon to support us.
Thank you |

Dear Torsten,
I have answered 6 questions out of 10 correctly about test of lesson 23(rd) but I have a question about one of your sentences in this lesson. You said: Don't hesitate—get cracking right now, what does 'get cracking' mean?
In advance, thanks a lot for your attention.
Sincerely yours,
Mitra

HI Blazya,
I am not an English teacher but i think i can answer your question.SET PHRASE is a noun and it is an expression whose meanings cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it up the synonyms of it is idiomatic expression; phrasal idiom; set phrase; phrase; idiom.

Mitra,
I think you know today what means 'get cracking". I'm not an English coach, but I add my answer: 'get cracking' is an imperative mode and sounds, I think, the same as 'put the hands on work', or 'start work now!'. Did you understand? |

Hi Mitra,
'Get cracking' = get busy... begin immediately and work hard/quickly.

Hello Bev,
I wonder what preposition you use with "get cracking" and "get busy". Is it "on", as in:
1.1. Get cracking on the project!
1.2. Get busy on the project!
