PARADISE

Dear Teachers,

1.Making love out of nothing at all.
- What does this mean?

2.I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me.
- What does “ I’ve never been to me” mean?

3.Let me get this straight!
- This means “ Let me make/get this clear”, right?

4. Does “ sure thing!” mean “absolutely sure”?

5. Have you ever made out in a restaurant on a first date?
- What does “make out” mean here?

6.Do you confront them about their mess?
- What does “confront” mean here?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Hi Stevenukd, You have a lot of questions, so I'll just take a crack at one of them. I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me. This is a famous line in Charlene's song.

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California

Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
but I ran out of places

Hello Steven

1. ?

2. "I don't know anything about myself", perhaps.

3. "Let me make sure I've understood this correctly!"

4. It's an expression of agreement or acknowledgement.

5. "Have you ever had a successful amorous encounter..."

6. Ask them for an explanation of the mess.

This first one:

It's the title of a song by Air Supply. Seems like the lover is more powerful than the guy (who can do everything but "make love out of nothing")
