Fetch Hello, everyone! I’m learning how to use the verb “fetch”. Check the following sentences, please. For example, there are two people in a room. One is doing something and the other is helping him. Then the first one tells the other: Can you fetch me some scissors from the kitchen, please? Or Can you fetch some scissors for me from the kitchen, please? It means: can you go to the kitchen, take some scissors there and bring them here to me? Correct? Thank you very much for your help!

I have several simple questions here Hello, everyone! Please, check the following sentences and answer the questions. They are not about grammar, but I have doubts about them. Look at them! Their noses have burnt (by sun). They are red and they hurt when they are touched. (Can I say “they hurt when touched”?) Cover your mouth when you cough. Or “when you are coughing”? Is here any difference between “when you cough” and “when you are coughing”? Or they are interchangeable? I’ll play with you when I’ve finished washing the dishes. We’ll go out when we’ve cleaned up. ... when you’ve cleaned up the mess. ... when you’ve cleaned up the mess from your table/the floor. ... when you’ve tidied your room. ... when you’ve tidied up. What is the difference between “clean up” and “tidy up”? Thank you very much for your help!

Too high/too far Hello, everyone! Today, my daughter couldn't jump from the bench and said "too high". What could be the full sentence in this situation? Later, she was playing on the swing and said: "I'm really high" (is this correct?) "No, the moon is really high" "It's far away from here" (does this mean "it's very far from here"?) Thank you very much for your help!

To be run out of smth. / to be out of smth. / etc. Hello, everyone! Do all the following sentences mean the same? 1) I've run out of milk. 2) I am out of milk. 3) I don't have any more milk. 4) I have no more milk. For example, my daughter is feeding her doll. She gives her a bottle of milk. The bottle is empty, but she imagines there is some milk inside. Suddenly, she stops feeding her doll and says one of those four sentences. Do all of them sound good in this situation? Or first two mean: I have no milk/I don't have any milk (without "more") Thank you for your help!

Can you pick up/reach/get/take out the leaf? Two days ago, I was in the swimming pool with my daughter. We saw a leaf floating on the surface of the water. My daughter took it and dipped it into the water. When the leaf was under the water, she let it go and it started to sink. When the leaf reached the bottom of the swimming pool, I said “it has sunk”. I used the Present Perfect. Was it correct? My daughter wanted the leaf back. I wanted to ask her the following: Can you pick up the leaf? But, could I use the verb “get” with the same meaning? For example: Can you get the leaf? I know that the verb “get” has many meanings, but I doubt if this sentence is correct. Maybe I need to use a preposition? What about “can you take the leaf out?” and “can you reach the leaf?”? Do they have the same meaning as “can you pick up the leaf?”? Thank you very much for your help! P.s.: from one of my books: “The kite is in the tree. The tree is very tall and the kite is very high. Millie can’t get it.” So, it can be said: Can she get the kite?

For/to, pretend Hello, everyone! Please, correct the following sentences. I doubt if they are correct. I’m learning the prepositions TO/FOR, the verb ‘pretend’ and some other things here. Let’s go to the shop and buy some food for the cat. Let’s fetch some food for the cat from home. = Let’s go home and bring some food to the cat. (It’s a street cat) We have some food for you. (you is a cat; for or to?) The cat is shy. It will eat later, when we go away. I don’t have anything in my bottle. = I have nothing in my bottle. It’s empty. He’s pretending to be a shark. = He’s pretending he’s a shark. She’s pretending she’s carrying a baby in her hands. She’s pretending to be a baby. That is why she’s crying. She thinks that babies always cry. Thank you very much for your help!

Fast, slow and slowly Hello, everyone! My daughter wanted to show me her knowledge of the words "slowly" and "fast" yesterday. She said "I'm going slowly" when we were going upstairs and she was making specially very small steps. I thought about the words: slow, slowly, fast. Was what she said correct? Please, correct the following sentences to help me understand how to use these words correctly. Can I say the following: 1) Look at me. I'm very slow. I'm going slowly. 2) look at me. I'm fast. I'm going fast. Going or walking? Which verb shall I use? If we are not going upstairs/downstairs, but walking on the road, for example? Thank you very much for your help!

Make a step / she wants coming down Hello, everyone! A child climbs a ladder in the playground. He climbs it right to the top and then he sees a surface in front of him. He wants to move to that surface, but he can't understand what he has to make first: to move his hand or place his foot on the surface, for example. I want to help him and say something like: "hold tight and make a step" or place your right foot on the surface. How would be correct? Is "Make a step" correct? Are both "She wants to come down" and "She wants coming down" correct and mean the same? For example, come down from a see-saw. Do you say "come down from the see-saw" or "get off the see-saw"? Thank you for your help!
