Could you be so kind as to look over my corrections please?
1 I know what it's like being in love/when you are in love. BOTH are OK. I like the first
2 The impact was so strong/great, I couldn't do anything but/except drop what was in my hand. ALL ok, but if I had to pick, GREAT and BUT.
3 She said that for me to react/so I'd react. She didn't mean what she said. The 2nd, Is the 1st OK?
4 He was in the car with his face in/on his hand trying to fall asleep. IN his hand
5 Aside from/besdies/Apart from the meals, I didn't spend much time with them between meals. I don't know. (how would you say this sentence?)
6 When are we going to get there/When will we get there? (what's the difference?) BOTH , no diff.
7 Our luck, we are going to stop right when it's raining./we are stopping right when it's raining. I don't know.
8 How long before/until the bomb goes off? BOTH
How many minutes until/before the end of the film? BOTH
