Be willing to...
Hi guys,
I have a few questions and would like to hear your opinions.
Q1: When someone uses the phrase "be willing to do", does that suggest the subject would do it hesitantly-in fact he doesn't want to do it or he doesn't really care about doing it OR he is happily ready to do that?
Q2: Are the two sentences below same or different (in meaning or in nuances)?
A) Have you finished washing your hair yet? (Here, "yet" has same meaning with "already" or "still" ?)
B) Haven't you finished washing your hair yet?
Q3: Are those expressions like "suicide death", "romance movies" or "romantic movies"
Q4: Does "a job" here mean "company" or "worksite"?
Why do you work at a job that makes you crazy?
Q5: Is it common to use the word "mad" as a verb in modern English?
I can't have her mad at me.(here, is "mad" an adjective or a verb, you think?)
