Would-be husband
Dear Teachers,
1. Beauty goes with age and love wears off.
- What does "wears off" mean here?
2. I think it's possible for such a relationship to come along.
- "come along" here means "develope", right?
3. Her would-be husband is very handsome.
- I think "her fiance" is better than "her would-be husband", right?
4. I think you and I should break up now, just because we are not very compatible.
5. I now don't have my state of mind to love anyone, please give me some time to relax and I'll think about it.
- Are 4 & 5 natural?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,
Stevenukd.
