Exchange at glance

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

Is it "She exchanges at glace" or " exchange at glance"?

 

[bhaisahab]

Neither one makes sense.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Do you mean 'she exchanged glances with someone else'?

Not a teacher.

"They exchanged glances". That means that two people looked briefly at each other at the same time. You could put "She exchanged glances with him/her".

If I want to say "Whenever she comes in front of me, she exchanges at glances"?

Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through"

That sentence does not make sense. "Whenever she comes in front of me" is unnatural and could be read to mean "When she ejaculates in front of my eyes". That would be an unfortunate misunderstanding. I don't know what you are trying to say.

You don't seem to understand the meaning of "exchange" or "to exchange glances".

My best guess is "Whenever I see her, we exchange glances".

 

[tufguy]

But if we have to use it for 3rd person then?. Like "When we sit in front of each other she exchanges at glances". Is it correct now?

No, it isn't. Have you read the previous answers? You don't seem to have taken much notice of them.

Tufguy. Read this very carefully.

"Exchange at glances" is wrong. It doesn't matter what sentence you put it in. It's wrong. Incorrect. Not grammatical. Not usable.

Stop trying to use those three words together.

 

[tufguy]

So right phrase is "Exchange glances" not "Exchange at glances"(But I read it in an english book). We need at least two people or subject in our sentence to use it. It can't be used for a single person. Am I correct?

 

[Rover_KE]

(But I read it in an English book).

Please tell us which English book you read it in. It's wrong.

 

[tufguy]

The correct phrase is "Exchange glances". What about my other two questions.

What about them?

 

[tufguy]

We can say they exchange glance but it can't be used for a single person. Have I got it right?. So what can we say if we have to say same thing for a single person. Is there any other phrase for it?

I don't understand why it is using exchange word for expressing the sentence.
Does exchange that it means we change something at the same time?

 

[emsr2d2]

"Exchange" here is a verb used in the same way as "swap".

 

[Barb_D]

Yes you need two people to "exchange" glances. One person can glance at another.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Is there any other phrase for it?

Can 'trade glances' be an alternative?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes.
