Is this sentence grammatically correct?
Hi,
could anyone tell me whether this sentence is grammatically correct? It is a thesis title, so I would like not to make any mistake before publishing it. Thanks to anyone who will help me.
"Leveraged Buyouts in the Private Equity industry: the role of debt and financial structure as drivers for the funds' investors value creation."

which one is correct?
Hi all,
I was wondering which one of the following sentences is correct, or whether both of them are right:
1- Do you have any friends on which do you most rely on?
2- Do you have any friends do you most rely on?
Basically, I'd like to know whether in the first sentence "... ON which ... rely ON" can be considered as an iterance that makes the sentence wrong, since "on" is an actual part of the verb and doesn't need to be repeated with "on which".
Thanks in advance!

not anywhere near / nowhere near
Hi all,
provided I basically know the meaning of these structures, I was wondering whether both of the following sentences are correct:
1- ...none of them was anywhere near as popular as he was some years ago.
2- ...none of them reached anywhere near popularity as he had some years ago.
What is puzzling to me is to know if both of them are correct and have the same meaning. In case the second one is incorrect, is there a possibility to use "not anywhere near/nowhere near" followed by a noun ("popularity") instead of an adjective ("popular")?
Thanks in advance!

"comparative" question
Hi everybody,
can anyone tell me whether this part of my thesis sentence is right?
"...in order to have an as much as possible up-to-date model."
The meaning is, to have an overview of an economic model that is the most updated up to now. But is it grammatically correct?
Thank you all!

To be on the way to ?
Hi everybody, could please anyone tell me whether "to be on my/your/their... way to" has only a literal meaning that is "to be phisically going somewhere" like:
1- I'm on my way to go (going?) to the office
or it can be used in a figurative manner that is "to be going to finish something soon" like:
2- I'm on my way to get (getting?) all this stuff done
And plus, may I even say:
1- I'm on THE way to go (going?) to the office
2- I'm on THE way to get (getting?) all this stuff done
are these two structures (my, your way VS the way) interchangeable?

in the shape of & by way of: synonyms?
Hi,
could anyone tell me whether these two expressions can be used as synonyms, in particular when we want to make a specification of something? For instance:
1- We managed to achieve better financing terms, in the shape of/by way of a lower interest rate.
2- The company received some funding, in the shape of/by way of mortgages and bond issuance.
Thank you very much

CASH IN-CASH OUT meaning
Hi!
Lately I've come across these two typically business phrasal verbs, and I looked up the meaning on the internet: the problem is that they look to have quite the same meaning according to what I could understand from various online dictionaries, so I didn't probably figure out the difference between them.
The meaning they both look to have, as far as I understood, is: to monetize, to turn something into cash by selling it. Is it right for both of them? It seems quite weird to me having two different ph. verb, with opposite prepositions (in/out) but with the same meaning. Can anybody help?
I'll report a couple of examples to help me figure out:
1- Many of these vendors jumped into the market and are now looking to cash out.
2- It's time to cash in your US saving bonds
Thanks in advance!

to provide VS to provide with
Hi,
I've happened to read both these different structures of the verb "to provide" in texts, papers and articles. My question is:
To provide SOMETHING to SOMEONE (My parents provided a car both to me and my sister)
To provide SOMEONE with SOMETHING (My friends provided me with the money I needed to buy a new car)
Do they have exactly the same meaning, so as you can use either one or the other? Is it just a "word order difference" to set the sentence, but they have the same meaning?
Thank you!
