Grammar
for the good
Dear Teachers,
1.I’m so sorry to be so hard on you.
-Why don’t we use “to” instead of “on”?
2.We recently spent 30,000 USD for her to go to a boot camp to straighten her out.
-What does “straighten her out” mean here?
3.I will either find it on sale or go without it.
-“go without it” means “forget it”, right?
4.Just keep loving and admiring him for the good you see in him.
-"for the good………” here means “ for good qualities……..”, right?
5.Is it top late for me?
-This means “Is it too late for me”, right?
6.I don’t think I can take much more of this.
-This means “I don’t think I can stand anymore of this”, right?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,
Stevenukd

1. It's just the proper way to say it. "to be hard on someone", "to be easy on someone".
