| A. I really wish someone could help me because there’s no one for me to turn to. - “to turn to” means “to ask for advice”, right? B. Please give me some advice to solve this problem. I live in a small town, and I’m afraid that if this gets out, I’m done for. - Does “I’m done for” have a figurative meaning in this sentence? Thanks a million Namsteven |
