Question
Hi, there
Could you help me with three questions?
1) Does it sound odd to say "I don't like fish, but I can tolerate it. Shrimp is pushing it too far, though. I hate it." Does it sound odd? What could I say instead? "Now shrimp is too much, through"?
Could you give me an example?
2) Let us say someone says: "I need a really good night's sleep"... Would it sound odd for yout to respond to that like this: "I need a good night's sleep myself. I did all the work. You did nothing but complain" Does it sound odd? What about "I am the one who needs a good night's sleep"?
3) Can you say "Take a certain look off your face"? "put on a look/puppy dog eyes"? , "have a look"? For example: "Take that crying look off your face." "Why do you have such a crying look/face?"?, "Take off/Put away those puppy dog eyes"
If they sound odd, what could you say instead?
4) Can you say "I can imagine" in english? like:
A: Being a teacher is hard
B(not a teacher): I can imagine.
Thank you very much!

1) Pushing it too far is absolutely great. Native sounding, too.
2) "I am the one who needs a good night's sleep" with emphasis on the I is best here. All the other stuff (who did the largest share of the work) is implied in that sentence.
3) "Put away those puppy dog eyes". Alternatives: "don't look so sad", "why the long face?"
4) Yes, absolutely you can use "I can imagine" like this.
