GET ANGRY

Dear Teachers,

1. Why does she always get angry and reproach with you without wanting to understand you?

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

This sounds very formal, especially "reproach."

Dear Teachers,

1. Why don't we use "Why does she always get angry...................." instead of "Why is she always getting angry...................?"? and what does " where you're coming from" mean here?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

You can certainly say "Why does she always get so angry." There is a thread on using the continuous (is she always getting so angry) to express a habitual action that is somehow frustrating or irritating: [Post]436413[/post]

"Where you're coming from" is an idiom. If I don't know where you're coming from, I don't understand you.

I was trying to make your sentence more idiomatic
