Does "beautiful consciousness" sound okay? I know the phrase may sound strange, but I need to use a proper word that expresses the beauty of being conscious, like after waking up from a long and comfortable sleep at night. Can "beautiful" work fine as an adjective of "consciousness"? Thanks a lot

Is it correct to say: "That and much more"? I remember such a phrase that appears in promoting videos when they, for example, promote a product and mention its uses/benefits, then they end their video by stating something like: - That and much more in [the name of the product]! Which (I think) is a shorten version of: - You will find that and much more in... I want to use it for a similar case, so is it correct in that exact structure? Thank you

"I have proof in (a) video" The sentence: I have proof in (a) video that would confirm [something which is related to someone]. Does the sentence take the article "a" before "video" or not? Or are both acceptable but the meaning differs in each version?

"...to see more positivity [from/of] you" I think it should be "from" but I'm not certain as such structures (to my very limited knowledge) tend to come with "of". The sentence: "I hope to see more positivity [from/of] you in the upcoming days." (to be more optimistic) Thank you

"I take it for a(?) sin" I want to use the phrase: take sth for sth So, instead of writing: "I consider it a sin." and "I see it as a sin" I want to write: "I take it for a(?) sin." "Sin" here doesn't refer to any known or particular sin. It is just any sin but it doesn't come with an article after the preposition "for" in the sentences I found on the internet. So, does it actually take the article 'a'?

Is it natural and correct to say "...when being..."? The sentence: I don't doubt her showing, anytime, a bright side when(?) being(?) good to everyone. Is "when" the correct and suitable relative pronoun in the sentence with "being"? I thought of changing "being" to "becoming" or "getting", so would they make better alternatives than the current gerund? Thank you

"Is (..) where I introduced myself?" (Sorry about the question title. It should have been "introduce", not " introduced") There's a common phrase where the girl says it after the guy introduces himself by (usually) his name. Take this scenario for example: Guy: The name is Jack. Girl (sarcastically): Is [here/now/this] where I introduce myself? I want your help in stating the phrase exactly as it is said in such situations. Thank you

(That) and (When) when they aren't used interchangeably "It was while she was watching her daughter Barbara playing cut-outs of adult women {that/when} creator Ruth Handler first came up with the idea." The right answer is "that" not "when". I think it is because Ruth's daughter was playing with paper pieces that form grown-up women, which was a result of the idea of making Barbie dolls that came up to Ruth. Is my analysis correct?

Are my answers about the verb tense correct? There is a paragraph where it should be filled with the correct verb tense. I have attempted to answer, but I'm not sure if they are 100% correct. Here's the paragraph (my answers are numbered from 1 to 5): Concorde, the world’s fastest passenger plane, (1)[was developed] by France and Britain together. In the 1950s, both countries dreamed of having a supersonic plane, and the project (2)[started] in 1962. £1.5 billion (3)[has been spent] on developing the Concorde, and it (4)[was tested] for over 5.000 hours, which makes it the most tested plane in history. The first passenger plane (5)[has been introduced] by British Airways and Air France in 1976. Thank you^^

Another analysis of the grammar of [article/no article] Here's a sentence: - In our daily unexamined routines of language, we easily overlook (the) linguistic gaps. As a learner, I would say that when it doesn't take the article it would indicate generality. Whereas, when it takes the definite article, it would indicate specificity. The other analysis (that I'm asking about): It is about the certain existence of the "linguistic gaps" when it takes the definite article, but the probability of its existence when it doesn't, which means that there might not be "linguistic gaps". Is that true? Thanks in advance! I will surely welcome ANY opinion about this matter.
