For example, we say we are going to freshen up.  Why up?  Listen up.  Why up?  Some are logical, like heat up and cool down, but some just don't seem to have any reason.  Why do we mess things up?

They are actually called "phrasal verbs" and yes, they cause foreigners like me a lot of trouble. Think about it, you'd ve had a fight with your best friend, you want to make up but you forget and say that you want to make out. Not bad if they are a pretty girl, but what if they are a guy? Akward....:-) \n\nTo answer your question, I don't know, English is weird enough without it...

It may mean that you arrive at a situation with expectations.  If you always respond in the same way then you will expect to always feel the same thing whenever it happens, specifically a conditioned response.\n\nOr, it could mean that preparing yourself for an event may require the activation of certain emotions in order to function successfully.  Like a script.  Imagine being at a birthday party.  If you arrived in a bad mood, you wouldn't feel a part of the celebrations.  However, if you arrived in a good mood, the situation would suit your mood, and you'd be able to take part in the celebration with all your might.  If you were to change your bad mood in to a good one, just to fit the situation, then it might be considered convenient in order to socialise.  This could be the true meaning of this quote.\n\nIn my opinion, you shouldn't worry about whoever said this, as they were clearly not adept at expressing a concept in order to be understood.  They were probably just trying to sound intelligent.  I seriously doubt if they were.  Still, it would help to know the context in which the person said this.

Tells you where you need to be and when.\n\nDon't know what your second question means.\n\n[ADDED]  Your detail doesn't help.  Just curious - is English your native language?

Yep.  Makes perfect gramatical sense.  However, so does\n<Green dreams sleep furiously>  even though it doesn't make sense in any ordinary way.  \n\nIf there is any problem in your sentence,  maybe it has to do with the idea that something has <got frozen>. \nThat isn't something which happens often enough for it to trip off the tongue. \nAlso, does it mean that the program running froze/hung, or does it mean she dropped it in the icebox?  \n\nBut basically, no problem.  Sure it can be written.  Or should that be <certainly>?  :-)

We arent trying to be rude. We just want to see how it feels. Like me for instance, I cant understand when you get your hair up and looking pretty, how does it not go flat when you go to sleep? If I fixed my hair like that it would probably go flat before I laid down on it. Anyways, we arent trying to be rude we are just curious

Are the 2 questions related?  They don't really make sense in the same sentence.  Maybe girls don't understand you if that's how you talk?  Seems like maybe you should focus on one thing at a time.

She means what she said. Find out why and work to improve things.

Correct answer: Don't cause me to forget to call her.\nAssumption: You are logically correct in the sense that someone can make another person forget something.\n\nIf the above assumption is not true, the correct form is:\nDon't forget to remind me to call her.

Because the gods of grammar conjugation say so.\n\nIt is an irregular verb.  You just have to memorize it.

Make more sense, please.

What has worked for me is to be honest.\nHere's an example:\n\n"Officer, I have no good reason. It's because I'm an idiot."\n\nIt has worked on more than one occassion.

Lack of warming up is the problem. Also, like what we're doing when warming up is also to stretch. The whole idea is to stretch the muscles and make them flexable and to loosen up the joints and get some physical heat into them.

It's probably because inflammable comes from the word inflame, which is a verb with a few meanings - to become more fiery is one, it also means to aggravate and to swell up and become sore. I'm sure there's more.\nOnce this word 'inflammable' got into common use all over the English-speaking world (at that time, not much more than England), people would quickly find out that a word with several meanings can be a problem - for example, a man is stopped at his front door by his wife:\n"Don't go in! it's pretty inflammable in there." - now, does this mean your teenage daughter's in there being dumped by her boyfriend, or is the house about to burn down? In practice, you occasionally have to use another sentence to explain the one you just said when words like this exist.\n\nNow, I'm pretty sure that one of the most important meanings anyone would want to get across clearly first time, every time is 'This could BURN you.' So some right-thinking people started dropping the 'in' off the 'flammable' to make a clear word with one meaning - and it spread.\nOf course, most of this is conjecture based on the Oxford English Dictionary definitions. If it makes sense, cool ;)

'I am hungry \nEats your hand \nKeeps the other for tomorrow \nAnd your head \nFor the days of party.'\n\nYes, this doesn't make much sense in that order, but different languages use words in different orders than other languages.
