hang (out) with someone "hang out with someone" means to spend a lot of time with someone. Is it okay to say it without 'out' to mean the same? e.g. I'm going to hang out with my brother this weekend. I'm going to hang with my brother this weekend. Do you want to hang out? Do you want to hang? Thank you so much!

What is the funniest drunk stories? What are the funniest "drunk" stories? What are the funniest "drunken" stories? Which one is correct? As far as I know 'drunk' is not used in front of nouns. But when I googled, I could see many results of "drunk stories" and "drunken stories". "drunk stories" or "drunken stories" Which one is a correct one? Thank you so much! :)

The price is down ten percent. 1. The price is already down 10%. 2. The first two hours are down 10%. 1 is a definitely correct sentence. What I'm wondering is why the subject can be 'hours' in 2. I don't get it at all, but it is used in a movie. The meaning should be "the sales volume for the first two hours is down 10%." Is it possible to say like that? Without a proper subject? Thank you so much!

that was you or that is you "If I've ever met anyone who doesn't need a boss, that was you." Why is it "that was you" not "that is you"?

It was <she/her> who~ - It was she who lied to me first. - It was she who approached me first. As far as I know, when I use 'she' instead of 'her' it's so formal, so in writing you use that way, but in speech, you tend to use 'her' instead of 'she'. Am I wrong? I wonder which one is natural and whether it'd be fine when I use 'she'. Thank you!!

jump in vs jump the gun "jump in" & "jump the gun" have the same meaning: to do something quickly, often without thinking about it carefully. Are they the same and is it okay to use them interchangeably? The examples below are for "jump the gun," but I changed "jump the gun" to "jump in." Is it possible to say like below? - Isn’t it jumping in starting talking about marriage? - I think it would be jumping in signing the agreement at this stage. Thank you!

Give me a hand, could you? vs Give me a hand, will you? Why do you say "will you"? I know "could you" is more used than "will you," but still don't know why you use "will you." Can anybody tell me why? Thank you so much. :)

It's a moment vs It's moments It's a moment like this when you need help. It's moments like this when you need help. I personally think that it should be "it's a moment like this ~," but the original sentence is "it's moments like this ~" I don't get it.. Are they different? Thank you. :)

"single section" in the cemetery In a movie, it is called "the strangers singles section." And I'm wondering it's "the strangers' singles' section" or just "the strangers singles section" without apostrophes. Thank you!

Can "so much" be a subject? "So much has happened to us so fast." I guess "So many things have happened to us so fast." can be a correct sentence, but in the movie a character says it. Is "So much" itself able to be a subject in the sentence or does it have another meaning in the sentence?
