Thank you Doctor D,

I had a 2 questions,

For 1

Can it be "out of the pizza"?

In 10,

"The faucet was dripping water" Isn't there something missing? is that a natural way of saying this?

I had one other thing I wanted to ask you as 2 of the links I sent a few days ago didn't work I think (they are very short)

Yes, you can say it as
"You can get six slices out of this pizza."
You can also say
"You can cut this pizza into six slices."

"The faucet was dripping water" is perfectly fine as is.

You know when you haven't tighten the **** and you hear the water dripping.

You would tell your wife for example: Could you go tighten the ****, the water dripping/dripping water/faucet dripping water is getting annoying.

???

And could you say this this way?

Coke makes you more thirsty than it does quench your thirst.

In New Zealand we call it a tap. I would say (politely): "Could you please go and turn off the tap properly, the dripping sounds is getting annoying." Wwater can be assumed, or you can add it in there
