Are you having morning sickness? What don't you understand about it? I suppose you know that it is a question, what do you think it is asking?


200
00:17:10,751 --> 00:17:12,477
I knew auntie will tell on us. This is ungrammatical, it should be either: "I knew auntie would..." or "I know auntie will..."

00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:32,847
It's all on me! It could have several meanings, depending on the context. What do you think it might mean?

thanks a lot:):up::up:

Usually pregnant women experience morning sickness.
(vomit , felling dizzy)

I knew auntie will betray us- will tell others what we did.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what that sentence means.

"Morning sickness" is something often suffered by pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy. Try searching it on Google.

'It's all on me' is unclear, but it could mean the person thinks they're in trouble.

"I knew auntie will tell on us" should be "I knew auntie would tell on us". It means the person was sure that "auntie" would make known something they did not want to be made known. (Auntie is a tattletale.)

"It's all on me" - It's all my fault.

I have one other interpretation for "It's all on me" - that the speaker is offering to pay the entire bill for a meal or drinks etc. If you share a meal with someone and you decide to pay for it all, instead of paying half each, you would say "It's on me". It's possible that if it's a large bill or a bigger group, you might say "It's all on me".
