Hi all, pls help me to explain the meaning of 'well into the morning' in the text below. Does it mean early in the morning or something else? Thanks all.
'The night before had been an exhilaratingly messy one. My debut novel, This Is Memorial Device, had been shortlisted for the Gordon Burn prize, and though I didn’t win, I partied with my editor and some friends well into the morning. I had the most fun I’d had in my life.'

Last night, I had come from a stressful day of work so I decided to stay in for the entire evening with some Netflix and hot tea. Although I'm kind of a social butterfly, I have come to enjoy nights in by myself from time to time. I think all of us need that as a balance.
I'm confused about the meaning of these 2 sentences below:
- 'had come from' in 'I had come from a stressful day of work'.
- 'have come to' in 'I have come to enjoy nights in by myself from time to time' (Could we leave out 'have come to' in this sentence and still has the same meaning?)
Pls help me to explain this. Thank you all.

What does "prompt" mean?
I don't know exactly what does "prompt" mean in these cases.
"<em>Write a General Statement based on </em><em>prompt</em>", or " <em>Question </em><em>Prompt</em>".
I've searched on dictionary, but I'm confused which parts of speech it is. Is it a adjective or a noun?
I think it's more justified that "prompt" is the noun in this situation, but I don't know the meaning.
Could you please help me know?
Thank you all.

Could everyone let me know the meaning of this sentence?
<em>"He wanted to take two weeks' holiday, but had to </em><em style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">content himself with one</em><em> because the office was so busy."</em>
I'm confused the meaning of this sentence. Did he end up with a holiday or still has to work?
Thank you all.

What does "jerk" mean in this case?
I'm reading a book named "Diary of a wimpy kid", which is interesting to read and also read an English book like that can help me improve my English. :)
When I've reached to sentence below, I'm stuck because I didn't understand what they means.
<em>All I need is for some </em><em style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">jerk</em><em> to catch me carrying this book around and get the wrong idea.</em>
<em>The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this was mom's idea, not mine.</em>
Thank you all for helping me answer it.

Are there another way to say the night of tomorrow?
I know that in English we have last night indicates the night of yesterday, and tonight shows the night of today, but what about the night of tomorrow?
Thank you for reading it and helping me answer it.

What is the first thing you do when you receive your pay?
I just received my salary last Friday and it seemed that I've spent a lot. After work at that day, I rode my scooter bike right away to shopping mall to buy things that I thought that I wanted. My old shoes which are moccasin shoes getting worse, I bought it 8 months ago when I worked as a hotel receptionist. Actually, I just bought a new one which are kitten heel shoes last month, when I've had a new job as an office worker. But it seemed a little tight to me, I wear it to go to work sometimes and I feel hurt on my foot when I get home. That's why I thought I need to buy a new one this time. I bought sandals this evening after looked at those stuff in shoes shop. Then I bought a T-shirt and a pair of pants, a pair of earrings, a silver necklace. I also bought a book in bookstore which named "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", I've seen this film before and now I wanted to buy it so that I can read it when I have free time, it's an English book, this way can help me boost my level of English somehow better.
Well, I've spent on so many things, afterward I had to pay house rent, energy, food, fuel etc.
OMG. I must manage my money, there are a huge of things I have to do in the future, and in order to do that, I must to save up money, I should know the difference between needs and wants. Needs are the essentials of life, wants are the things I just desire. And when I want to buy somthing, I'll ask myself "Is it a need or want?"
Thank you for spending time to read my notebook.
Hannah :)

What were your dreams when you were a child?
When I was a child, I wanted to be police woman. Cause I like to catch people who are doing something bad to others, keep society always in a safety condition. Also I would seem cool in the police uniform and my friend will look at me and somehow admire me. (I'm just kidding :D)
