PAY OFF
Dear Teachers,
1. - I often go to school on my own.
- I often go to school by myself.
- I often go to school alone.
- Are these the same meaning? or are there any differences?
2. Maybe you can talk to your brothers about helping you out on eveings.
- "help you out" here means "help you get over tough circumstances", right?
3. Hold on a little more and you will see that that this is going to pay off soon enough.
- "pay off" here means "going to be successful", right?
4. Come on! you don't have to do all of this on your own.
- Why don't you say "all of these" instead of "all of this"?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

Hi,
1. - I often go to school on my own. Sounds a little like a child speaking. An adult is expected to be capable of doing such things on their own.
- I often go to school by myself. Commonly said.
- I often go to school alone. Less common. 'Alone' is an emotive word. Perhaps
