Hi,

If I receive a letter from my landlord stating that I have to move out, can I say: I got a notice breaking my lease.? Is 'breaking' the proper form I should use? I'm just still not sure if it sounds right.

You have a problem with your computer and you install an app that gives access to someone who can help you fix it. The person basically takes over you computer for a while. He/she can even move the mouse cursor. If you were in such a situation, would you say, for instance: George helped me fix the problem remotely. He was at a different place than I was. (I want to know if the word remotely would be used?)

One more question. If I don't like to think about the future, would it be appropriate to say: I don't like to think down the line. ?

Thank you. I always appreciate your help.
