Question
Hi, everyone
Could you help me with some questions?
1) In an article about "ADHD" I read this:
“I’m really bad at knowing how long something is going to take me. I can’t account for how my attention is going to hold up or how many times." What does "Can't account for" mean? What about "attention is going to hold up"?
2) In a Buzzfeed article about introvert people, I read this:
Our A+ social strategy: play hard to get by staying at home and having no contact with someone
What does "play hard to get by" mean?
3) What's the difference between "Don't you get it yet?" and "Do you get it yet?
4)Let us say you walked to someone's house along the beach, and, on your way back, you want to take the next street over from the waterfront, would it sound stange to say "Could we go back down the next street over ?" What would you say? In case you didn't know the name of the street
Thank you very much!
