I'm writing an essay about the film Wizard of Oz. But i just don't know some of the words to use. Could somebody please do me a favour? :)\n1- The word which means the kind of hat witches often wear, with large brim and a cone-shaped top.\n2- One kind of make-up in form of powder, often used to put on the face to make the skin look fairer, the powder may have the color of white or light brown, and pink for cheeks...\nThanks in advance :)

The hat would be called a conical hat, meaning a hat in the shape of a cone.  Second, the makeup would be called a rouge.  Usually, rouge refers to a powder or cream makeup that makes that face look more flushed, as if showing emotion.  But, when refering to stage and screen makeup, rouge is any powder or cream that is used to change the coloring of the face, neck, ears, even arms if necessary.

Friends you like:  just a short anecdote about something that happened that was funny - "Don't laugh with soda in your mouth, it shoots out your nose - remember that?!"\n\nPeople you hate/hate you:  don't write anything - it WILL come back and bite you in the butt!\n\nSomeone w/ girlfriend:  this one's touchy, so be sneaky - "If our paths cross after highschool, I'll buy you a drink."

here are the examples you asked for, pal\n********************************************\n1- He kissed me passionately, as if he (loved) me ( in this sentence the man does NOT love me BUT he pretended to be in  love with me ). \n\n2- She insisted to go onstage and move her body as if she was a dancer. (  here she is NOT a dancer BUT she acted like a dancer ).\n\n3- He plays the trick well (as if he was) a magician ( here he is NOT a magician but he acts like a magician).\n\nNOTE** "as if" should always be followed by a PAST simple tense, even in a present sentence. why? because it is just a matter of "pretence" 'cos the subject ONLY ACTS like a dancer or a magician but he/she is not any of this. \n___________________________________________________\nWish\n******\n1- I wish i (could be) a doctor in the future ( this sentence shows that there is still hope that i become a doctor in the future).\n\n2- He wishes he (were) a scientist. (this sentence shows that "he" is not a scientist but he wishes he can be one)\n\n3- She wishes she (had gone) to the party (this sentence shows that the party already ended and there is no way "she" can turn back time and attend the party and so we use the past participle tense).\n\nhope i was any helpful to ya ..anytime!

How about Pegasus the Winged Horse? Medusa was a witch. And what about the Golden Fleece, though that wasn't a weapon.

I actually asked a teacher about this and also a professor who lectures on Shakespear so now you got this:\n\nNo matter how you intend to use the words, the true expression is definitley “as well." They are always two words, despite the fact that many people seem to think it should be spelled “aswell.” \n\nExamples: “I don’t like plastic trees as well as real ones for Christmas.” “Now that we’ve opened our stockings, let’s open our other presents as well.”\n\n"as well" is used to emphasise the following:\n\n1. Besides\n\n2. Too, \n\n3. Also\n\n4. Likewise\n\nOk, u heard it from the true source. Now she can't argue with you, as well as debating it till she's blue in the face.

The title of the film 'Grease' was described as 'brillantina' to me when I first watched it in italy at the age of 14 (!). Brillantina is the stuff men used to smear their hair with to flatten it (some still do). If this is the context you are translating into, I propose 'Brillantina dell'East Bay'.\nCiao

Face like a bulldog liking p*ss off a nettle!\n(if you're talking and you get your words mixed up) - Another spoke like that and i'll have a wheel.\nYou look like the back end of a bus.\nI'll rip off your head and sh*t down your neck.\nYou fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.\n(burp) - Pardon me for being so rude, it was not me it was my food, it just popped up to say hello, and now it's gone back down below.\nThere's a party in my pants and you're all invited!

I agree with Clara Jane's answer [No, we're not related], but I'm concerned about where she put a few quotation marks.  Shouldn't it read:\n\n\nAlice, of <italics> Alice in Wonderland <italics>, said, "If you drink from a bottle marked 'Poison', it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later".\n\n\nReasoning:  the name on the bottle is before the break in the sentence.  And, what Alice said is a quote within a larger sentence.\n\nAgree?  Disagree?

Okay--think about "bonnet." Head covering for women in the "olden days." Tied on, under the chin, deep enough to prevent the sun from ruining complexions.\n\nNow, if you had a bee in there, you'd be slappin' yosef and hollerin', wouldn't ya? \n\nNow, bring the olden days forward to the beginning of the 20th century. The 'bee' is indeed an idea. The 'bonnet' represents the traditional female role in society. For a woman to have a strong opinion or idea in her head was a troublesome as her having a bee in her bonnet. You know, pesky things like wanting to vote, divorce nasty husbands, own their own property, inherit property, etc. Those ideas were "bees in the bonnets" of women who were labeled troublemakers by the men who were in power and didn't want to share. Shoulda sicced Barney on them...\n\nYou may quote me. <g>

Sweetheart, different sources use different abreviations. Can you type out specifically what they are? Then I might be able to help you.

I found it difficult to make sentences until one day I realized that I would make some really funny sentences with the words to add some excitement to the entire thing.\n\nFor instance, if the word was "glabrous" which means smooth with no projections and is an adjective and I needed to make a sentence, most people would say "His glabrous head made the man seem more distinguished." I would write "The glabrous head of the man, walking down the street, reflected enough light that it blinded a pilot and caused his plane to crash into my neighbors backyard."\n\nThen if you have to read your sentence in class (which my English teacher always made me do) at least you would get the class to laugh and help you remember the word better.\n\nA lot of my friends simply had trouble with the words because they figured "When would I ever use these? The words are borrrrringgg"\n\nJust a little trick that might help you out like it did me. Good luck!

Yes, quite good!\n\nHowever, there are some words that you should check out:\n\n*watermalon: Could it be english 'watermelon'? Then it's 'sandía' in spanish.\n\n*As 'pantalones' is a plural word, the adjective is also plural: 'pantalones rosas'.   Or in singular: 'pantalón rosa'\n\n*'Las gafas'/'Las gafas de sol' are a little weird.  Omit the article. it'll sound more casual.\n\n*It's not 'camisAta', but 'camisEta'.\n\n*'Un par de vaqueros'.   It's theorically fine, but it's not very common (it depends on the region/city/country).  Suggestions: 'Un par de/unos jeans', 'Un(os) pantalon(es) de mezclilla'.\n\nBut speaking about the verbs, the paragraphs are really nice!

Magic is indeed a noun, while magical is an adjective meaning "of or relating to magic/magic-like". It probably happened that with common misunderstanding phrases such as "electric fence" for example or "magic cap" too came about. So nouns such as magic and electric simply became adjectives in everyday language, whether or not this was correct in true English.

Giggle,   when  I  was  a lot younger   a  close  friend of  my mother's   one time, at the peak of   frustration over  her   unruly hair  declared  "I look  as if I'd been pulled backwards through a hedge"       I  was only about 12  at the time,  but I thought that  was  so funny   it  somehow got hardwired into my brain  and   I've often used it myself.\n                                               I  guess you could   say something like ,,"Every Saturday   morning,   I would lounge  around   the house in my pyjamas,  with my hair  looking  as if I'd been  dragged backwards  through a hedge"       It's  an  expression that nobody else  will be likely to use  because no-one could possibly have thought of it, since it comes  from  a past  age.   But it's  still pretty darn  descriptive, when you think about it .

Cinde-fu**ing-rella... oh, sorry... PRETTY WOMAN. Let me refresh your memory with 2 of the best parts of the movie.\n\nVivian: I just wanna know who it works out for. You give me one example of somebody that we know that it happened for. \n[They start talking over each other.] \nKit: Name someone? You want me to name someone? \nVivian: Yeah, you know a person that it's worked for. \nKit: You want me to, like, give you a name, or something? \nVivian: Yeah, I'd like a name. \n[Kit puts her hands to her temples.] \nKit: Oh, God, the pressure of a name… \n[After some hard thinking, an inspired Kit throws her hands out.] \nKit: Cinde-fu**ing-rella! \n\nAnd also:\n[Edward, arriving in a white limo and armed with an umbrella and roses, climbs Vivian's fire escape to meet her.] \nEdward: So what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescued her? \nVivian: She rescues him right back.
