hi,
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: i need to have a clarification with general rules if possible:
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 on : to come to terms, when an agreement reached (Major EU agree on tigher education)
to agree to + verb: suggestions/actions proposed by someone else (Jack agree to sell his land)
to agree to (something inanimated): (Jack agree to her suggestion) this is an opinion for me, therefore why "with"is not used in this case?
to agree that + clause: when to use this one? Physicians agree that electrons exist
- to date
to date at is the general common idiom i found in lot of documents BUT
i also found "we can date the skeleton to 2500BC" is this correct? if es what is the general rule here?
- to depend on (whether): could you confirm and explain the difference between
to depend on
to depend on whether + question (uncertainty choices of possiblities)
- to consider X, Y
I know this is the correct idiom, but can you please confirm that "I am considering you as a chief " is wrong?
