Hello... I'm a new member here and I find this possibility of clearing up our doubts on the English language with an experienced teacher or a native speaker of the language extremely cool.
Well, let's get down to business then. I've been studying some idioms recently with the word "jam" and I got a little unsure along the way as to weather the sentences I created with those idioms are correct.
The idioms are these: "jam tomorrow" and "money for jam."
Just one thing I'd like to make very clear. These doubts have nothing to do with any kind of homework or the like. I'm an English teacher for young children, not a native speaker and on my free time I study English on my own, with the help from books, dictionaries and web sites like this one solely, as I must keep improving my English skills in order to pass some English tests I want to take in the future.
These are the sentences I created: I'm tired of these promises of jam tomorrow she makes.
Politicians are very fond of promises of jam tomorrow.
This talk of moving to Europe is all just jam tomorrow.
Her job provides her with money for jam.
He would like to find a money for jam kind of job.
Working for a congressman is money for jam.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind attention and time spent on giving me a helping hand. I trully appreciated it. Greetings from Brazil
