0I'm understanding. Thanks, Susankay.02br

00Run means to live with some manner, and 'get' means acquire and not optional, right?0-

0Hi LiJ,02br
02br
00I'm not sure what you mean about "not optional." Can you explain that?02br
02br
00Your version of "manage" seems okay to me: You're doing a good job running this department = You're doing a good job managing the department.0-

0Hi GG02br
02br
00I thought I could say "for the way I help running it."02br
02br
00Now I think the difference between 'for the way I help running it' and 'for the way I 01b00get02b00 help running it' is that the latter means 'the way I acquire some help from someone.'02br
02br
00Am I right?0-

0Ah, I see. You mean the 01b00use02b00 of the word "get" is not optional, not the overall meaning of the phrase.02br
02br
00Yes, you need the "get" - get help running it. "For the way I help running it" is not grammatical.02br
02br
00I'm not sure what the entire sentence means though - if you get too much help, you're not really runn

0Many thanks, GG.02br
