I have been studying idioms for quite some time now and there are still some that i was not able to find answers to.
Hereby is a list of my questions:
- to inspire: there is nothing to add according to manhattan GMAT book guide 8, but what does that exactly means?
I found the idioms " inspire someone with something" and "inspire something in someone"
- to pronounce: there is nothing to ass according to manhattan GMAT book guide 8, but what does that exactly means?
i found the idiom: to pronouce something on: is that correct, does it exist?
- to know: there are a lot of them:
to know X as: to use for a role
to be known for: to use with qualities or talents
known to do X: for a famous action
to know that + clause: in which case to use it?
to know to (+ infinitive verb): he is known to be brilliant, but what is he general rule for this idiom?
to know can also take "as" or "by"
to know can be take "known of", "known in + gerund"

to agree with + noun: = to approve, to be used with a person, an opinion or a policy (she agree with the decision to move)

to agree to + verb: suggestions/actions proposed by someone else (Jack agree to sell his land)
