Grammar
Meaning?
Hi! everyone.Could you tell me,what do these phrases mean?
1-That is all there is to it.(What is the grammatically construction of it? I know the meaning of "thats all" but I don't know about the rest)
2-Is this all you got? Can I say this too for plural- Are these all you got?
3-One for the pot.(What does this mean?)
And Can I say this sentence as "When there are more than one thing" I think it is right when we talk about 3 things it means there are 2 more things besides one.Is my thinking correct here?
Thanks!
