Dear teachers,
I have two questions:
No.1
I get confused by "running nose " and "runny nose". Please read the following sentences:
Yesterday I had a runny nose.
Yesterday I had a running nose.
No.2
I don't think I can do it.
I think I can't do it.
Could you please explain if both of the two structures correct? And is there any difference in meaning?
No.3
If I am ill I have to ask for a sick leave. And if I need to leave the place where I work then I should ask for a leave. Is that right? Or is there an expression like "to ask for a casual leave of absence"?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
Jiang
