Family

Dear Teachers,

1) She shouldn't give him any more pocket money.

- What does "pocket money" mean?

2) We get on well as a family.

- What does this mean?

3) We moved house recently, and I'm finding it very difficult to make new friends.

- Why don't we use " have moved recently" ?

4) I just can't get to sleep.

- This means : I just can't sleep, right?

5) They often argue all the time.

- Can I say " row/quarrel/wrangle" instead of " argue" ?

6) You shouldn't work so hard.

- Can I say " too or very" instead of " so" ?

7) Have you graduated from your university/ your high school yet?

- Is this ok to say?

Thanks very much to all Teachers.

Stevenukd.
