I got the same worries about the excruciating heat and humidity

[multipolly]

Hi, everyone,

The following sentences are my texts to one of my friend:
1. I got the same worries about the excruciating heat and humidity in Taiwan cos' I always suffer from sunstroke in summer.
2. I got the same worries about the excruciating heat and humidity of Taiwan cos' I always suffer from sunstroke in summer.

Q1: Which preposition is correct? If both are fine, what's the difference between the 2 sentences?
Q2: Should I say " I get... " instead if "I got..." so the tense of the two verbs in this sentence would coincide ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. It's really wise to make sure that you have had enough fluids every day.
4. It's really wise to make sure that you have enough fluids every day.

Are sentence 3 and 4 correct?

Have a nice day.

Hi, everyone,

The following are sentences [STRIKE]are my texts[/STRIKE] I wrote to one of my friends.

1. I got the same worries about the excruciating heat and humidity in Taiwan [STRIKE]cos'[/STRIKE] because I always suffer from sunstroke in summer.

2. I got the same worries about the excruciating heat and humidity of Taiwan [STRIKE]cos'[/STRIKE] because I always suffer from sunstroke in summer.

Q1: Which preposition is correct? If both are fine, what's the difference between the two sentences?

Use "in"; it's much more natural.

Q2: Should I say " I get... " instead if "I got..." so the tenses of the two verbs in this sentence would be consistent? [STRIKE]coincide ?[/STRIKE]

Note that "got" denotes the past. If you intend the present, use "I've got" instead. If you use "get", then you're saying that you usually get those worries.

3. It's really wise to make sure that you have had enough fluids every day.
4. It's really wise to make sure that you have enough fluids every day.

Are sentence 3 and 4 correct?

If this is with reference to the above context (about Taiwan), use #4.
In #3, you drink the fluids, look back and check. For example,

It's really wise to make sure that you have had enough fluids every day before starting the arduous climb.

Both in and of are okay. They mean the same thing in this context. At least in AE, you can keep got.

I like sentence 4 over 3.
