Wassup bros,
My name is Antonio, I hail from Cádiz but currently studying English in the magnificent USA. In my mind, English is the best and more influential language on Earth. Peeps from all over the world can communicate through English. There is no other language that matches its domination. This is why I want to learn as much as I can with special care on vocabulary and idioms. I would say grammar but many locals that I have met commit errors while speaking, and some of them are quite basic imo. Anyway, my question is about two idioms (I have bolded them) that I heard the other day. Please revise my sentences and tell me if I have utilized them appropriately. Here are the sentences I invented:
1. Last night I was talking to my sister about the way his boyfriend has been treating her. I knew/could tell there was something wrong by the tone of her voice. Throughout the conversation, I asked her on several occasions what was wrong but she kept beating around the bush, it was like she was hiding something from me.
2. When I received the invitation to Michelle's dinner, I felt ecstatic. She was the girl I have always been in love with. This was my opportunity and I had to seize it eagerly. Regrettably, due to ironies of life, I couldn't attend the social gathering and I missed out my chance.
Btw, can I respond to other people's post here?
Yours,
Antonio
