What is 'we got you' meaning in this case? I can't figure out what 'we got you' is meaning in this context? *soph is not B, B is another* A : Soph, shoes on, we're going shopping. B : What about my lift to Josh's? A : Take your bike. That thing with wheels we got you for Christmas? B : Shopping for what? Why 'we got you' becomes like 'we prepared it for you'? That's so confused... :'(

What's the difference between provide and afford? The definition of the word, "afford", from Longman dictionary is that, > To provide something or allow something to happen. Some examples are following, - The room affords a beautiful view over the city - It afforded her the opportunity to improve her tennis skills. and so on. And the definition of the word, "provide", from same dictionary is that, > to give something to someone or make it available to them, because they need it or want it. I think the basic idea of both are that, to give something to someone. So How should I get the word, "afford", in the following situation, or context? and can I replace it to "provide"? * there is a artificial machine which is bought by a husband without talking to his wife, and he is talking about it with her *. (A is husband, and B is his wife.) A : We've got a month to take it back, we can talk about it then. B : How the hell can we afford it? A : A special offer, over five years, less than we pay for the car.

The reason time machine is bad. We sometimes think that would be able to go back to the day. But when we go back to the day, it also takes our time. It is just like we lean on something that will be never changed. So put them in the past, go straight. I don't think it is enough what i want to say in English :-(.. Writing something down is really difficult..

So confused with "Could you use" Could you use some extra help around the house? (from a English drama) In this case, how come "Could you use" correspond to an offer? In Korean, It could be translated to "도움이 필요한가요? (Do you need some help?)" directly. Does that have lots of meaning? I have already learnt that if i say that "I could use some drinks/waters/air something else", it could be represented that "I need to do that right now". But I am still confused a lot of meaning "Could you use, I could you" and the use cases..

The usage of Could. The fire spread through the buildings very quickly, but fortunately everybody was able to/managed to escape. In the case, why "Could" cannot be used (A grammar book says that it can't be used in the case)? I'm guessing that If i say that "everybody could escape", it means they could do(escape), but they died.?

'in time' and 'by (time)' Is 'in time' similar to 'by (time period)'? for examples. i'm supposed to finish my assignments in time (in this case, i know deadline, but implicit time) i'm supposed to finish my assignments by Friday (but explicit time) are both correct? and can be used?
