 Re: difficult sentences Quote:
Let's get this thing over with. = Let's finally finish this thing. The expression "to get something over with" means "to finally finish something". This thing is far from over. = This thing is far from finished. to be over - to be finished  Last edited by PROESL; 23-Jul-2009 at 01:13. Reason: I forgot to use a post icon and a smiley. |
