Please,help me with my questions

0Hi there!02br
02br
00Please, I need a help. My questions are:02br
02br
001) "Something 01b01u00worth02u02b00 little or nothing". Here shouldn't the sentence be: "Something worth01u01b00s02b02u00 little or nothing" ?02br
02br
002) "Water pollution is caused by 01b01u00run-off02u02b00 from factories". Does 01b01u00run-off02u02b00 a synonymous for 01b01u00chemicals/residues02u02b00 ? 02br
02br
003) Is 01u01b00rather than02b02u00 a synonymous for "01b01u00instead of02u02b00" ? Ex.: 01u01b00Rather than02b02u00 go out to dinner, let's just order in a pizza. 02br
02br
004) The word "01b01u00chieftain02u02b00" can be also written "chief01b01u00tan02u02b00" ?02br
02br
005)"Sam's grandfather 01b01u00grounded02u02b00 him by his constant bad/insulting words". Is 01b01u00grounded02u02b00 a synonymous for 01b00scolded/reprimanded ? 01font00And what is its infinitive form? Because 'ground' is the simple past and past participle forms of the verb to grind.02font02b02br
02br
00Thank you very much for your help,02br
