Once again, a quick check of a good online dictionary (such as the Oxford Dictionary - follow links below) could answer these questions.

Frequently, you have written that you only have a Hebrew dictionary. Do you mean a Hebrew-English dictionary? If yes, I can tell you that you are sufficiently advanced in English to be able to use a regular "English only" dictionary. I suggest the Oxford Learners Dictionary (http://oaadonline.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ ). It is simplified for learners, but will help you figure out many expressions you have trouble with. If you need to be taught how to use a dictionary, I would be more than willing to help you. Just let me know.
