Hi Gabriel! These are great questions. 1) "Can't account for" in this context means "Can't plan for". And "my attention is going to hold up" means "my attention is going to remain strong or focused" 2) "Playing hard to get" refers to a social strategy where someone makes themselves unavailable (usually to a love interest) in order to make themselves seem more desirable. It's a type of "reverse psychology". 3) "Don't you get it yet?" is a bit more hostile. It kind of implies "Don't you get it yet, or are you slow/ stupid?". Whereas "Do you get it yet?" is a friendly question asking whether or not someone understands something. 4) I believe your sentence sounds okay. I would probably say "Could we go back using the road that's one block further away from the waterfront?" Just because that helps to clear up any ambiguity. Like I said, your sentence works, but someone might ask you to clarify what you mean by 'the next street over'. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help! -Joshua
