1. All you do is to make a lot of money. All you do is making a lot of money. Do these two sentences mean the same thing?

2. What’d you buy? Here whose abbrieviation is " 'd " ?




3. Linda says he worries too much, and he is the handsomest man in the world. Here I want to say that Linda says her husband worries too much, and she also says he is the handsomest man in the world. The comma in the sentence I wrote seems to separate these two parts. I mean can readers still understand 'and he is the ....' is also what Linda says? I want to emphasize the second part also comes from Linda's words. How to make this sentence better? I think I can't move away the comma because comma and conjunction are used to separate two main clauses, so hope you can help. Thank you.

2. What’d you buy? Here whose abbrieviation is " 'd " ? -- did

3. Linda says that he worries too much and that he is the handsomest man in the world. -- Commas do not help connect; they help separate. You do not have two main clauses; that was me

1. Neither is grammatically correct. "All you do is make a lot of money."

2. Abbrieviates "What did you buy?"

3. These two ideas aren't similar enough to be in one sentence. If you relate them to one another, then they can be one sentence.

Yes, Vorpar is right about #1-- the to shouldn't be there.
