- Are these phrases the same "What do you mean by that?" and "What is meant by that?"
Best answer
Hi Oliver, One is personal and the other is general "What do you mean by that?" You are asking someone to explain more clearly what they have just said as you do not understand them 100% e.g. "This is even worse than the time we tried it 3 years ago" "What is meant by that?" Is when you are asking whoever is around you what you heard/saw/read and you do not understand completely, often because it is an idiom or a metaphor. e.g. "The Minister said that the company was trying their best, but they were just rearraning the deckchairs on The Titanic" (No matter what they did the final result would still be very negative)
- Which of the prepositions should I use? Walk on/in/along the street
Is it walk on the street, walk in the street or walk along the street? I'm confused with these prepostions. Please, help me.
Best answer
Depending on what information you want to share you can either say: Walk in the street (this is used in general when the name of the street is not specified meaning it can be any street.) or Walk on the street (on is used when referring to a specific street, the street is named. e.g I was walking on Wall Street when I saw him) or Walk along the street (similar to 'walk on the street' you would use along to say I was walking along Wall Street when I saw him. But it can be used for both specified and unspecified streets. So you can also say I was walking along the street when I saw him, when the street is not specified. I hope that helps you understand better, Ewan.

Sure, it reminded me of nice series "Young Sheldon" about young genius boy, he choses words carefully and sounds very smart and educated you can also use "just a second", or "in a bit" - I need just a second - I will be there in a bit
