How is correct to say?

Question

Hi, guys!) I need your help to write a few phrases correct):
1. Is it correct " her hands head-on allow me to know"?
2. Can I write "smth. hurts with a knife" instead of "hurts like a knife". I mean transferred meaning, but I want to line that this pain is almost physical for me.
3. Pray to smb. "to" do smth. or "for" do smth.?
4. Can the word "sick" be used in the meaning "sickness"? And should I use "the" with it?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

1. Is it correct " her hands head-on allow me to know"? No. What do you mean?

2. Can I write "smth. hurts with a knife" instead of "hurts like a knife". I mean transferred meaning, but I want to line that this pain is almost physical for me. Use 'like'.

3. Pray to smb. "to" do smth. yes or "for" do smth. no ?

4. Can the word "sick" be used in the meaning "sickness"? No
And should I use "the" with it? 'The sick' is a very general and rather formal way of referring to sick people.

You must have saved at least 10 seconds by typing a short form for 'something' and 'somebody'.

As this is an English forum, please type the full words next time.
Thank you,
Clive
