Someone (a politician who is a native speaker of English) has said the following recently: "She´s OF a place where she wouldn´t know what a better job is". My question has to do with the preposition he used ("of" - to be of a place...). Is that correct? I thought that the correct preposition in this case would be "from" - to be FROM a place. Can anyone tell me what the correct way of saying this would be? Thanks!!!

Hi people! What does "the very dirt of life" mean? Google translated it for me as "the life itself". I found it funny :) Is it a kind of an idiom or what does it mean? Thanks in advance!

‎The last sentence in the article in the picture. These days a sign across the road to the town tells people to stay out. How should 'across the road' be understood in this context? Generally speaking, does 'cross the road' mean to span the entire road or to be on the opposite side of the road? Thank you so much！

Hello, friends. I have a small correction request for native English speakers. I'm trying to translate a Russian song (anti-racist content) into English. could you please correct my translation? here's what I've got by the moment: - I see someone is making your line to paradise longer - everyone around is speeding down the highway, but you're on the shoulder - who gets in your way? foreign workers? - overseas students and all the like? - without them, would your life have been an easy movie - with a great beginning, middle, and end? - and, would you be a dance sensation - if it wasn't for your own 'distractions'? PS the last lines refer to the Russian saying, “a bad dancer always complains that his balls prevent him from dancing better.” that is, a man always looks for the culprit anywhere but in himself. thank you in advance

有人想和我学中文吗？☺

Do I swear by or I swear to? Which is the difference?

Would you write this phrase like that? You throw away all love I gave you. All dream I've dreamed.

Here is a new vocabulary question for you to try!

"Get out!" can be used alone, that is, as a command, without any structure behind it, not even a reason, it emphasizes that the listener must leave the room, although it is rude, impolite. 'Go out!" usually follows another instruction. Ex: Tom! Go out and fetch the laundry! Tom! Go out and play! Tom! Go out and eat! / Tom! Go out to eat! Tom! Let's go out! 1. So can 'Go out!" be used alone as an imperative in the case of instructions? For example, I am escorting a prisoner out of the room, can I say: Go out! When he leaves the room, I continue to say: Turn left! 2. Can you give some exact context/situations where it can definitely be used in its bare form? Thank you very much!
