Grammar
HAND AND FOOT
Dear Teachers,
1. Your act last night really hurt me, you should have known how to respect me.
- Is this natural?
2. - We are contemplating marriage.
- We are planning for marriage.
- Are these the same meaning?
3. He treats me wonderfully, and waits on me hand and foot.
- What does "waits on me hand and foot" mean here?
4. She is really concerned because there are several PFAs on him.
- What does "PFAs" mean?
5. I have been friends with this guy for eight years.
- I think "a friend" is better than "friends" here, right?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

- 'How to respect me' seems a little bit odd, unless the context requires some special kind of respect..
