I try again:

that means: Have you got a minute which is used for being spared for me?

In [I'll have time to see you on Monday.],

that means: I'll have time which is used for seeing you on Monday.

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thank you for your leading me up to home.

Your teaching is very important to me. That I can find too much behind the lines.

I want to throw a new post [water to drink] and [water to be drunk].

Hi Mister Micawber,

1. You say "Better!" to me, I am uncertain as to it.

If means [You would do better to get my advice.] or [You would be better to get my advice.]?

2. And why not [a minute to be spred]?

Thank you for assistance.
