"Pay in full" in my sentence

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Would you use "Pay in full" in such context?

"She is fit for this pregnancy and her health is in good condition. However, she doesn't understand the risk(s) involved and no matter how much a surrogate charges, it won't be enough to pay in full."

 

[GoesStation]

I don't understand what it's supposed to mean.

 

[Rachel Adams]

I don't understand what it's supposed to mean.

I mean no matter how much a surrogate is paid, it's not worth the risk. Maybe I could use "repay"?

"However, she doesn't understand the risk(s) involved and no matter how much a surrogate charges, it won't be enough to be repaid."
Perhaps I should not omit "mother" after "surrogate"?

 

[Tarheel]

It is clear that some people think it is worth the risk. Your opinion differs from theirs.

Perhaps I should not omit "mother" after "surrogate"?

No. It's fine.

 

[Tarheel]

Note that "pay in full" does not work there.

Are you writing a story, Rachel?

Are you writing a story, Rachel?

No, some of my questions are based on ESL questions.

Note that "pay in full" does not work there.

OK. But in "However, she doesn't understand the risk(s) involved and no matter how much a surrogate charges, it won't be enough to be repaid." Should it be "risks" or "risk"?

Could you tll me please if "fit" and "good condition" work here?
"She is fit for this pregnancy and her health is in good condition.

We don't "repay a risk".

No matter how much she's paid, it won't be worth the risk.

 

[SoothingDave]

"Paid in full" is pretty much a set phrase, about something that was owed, but is no longer. We don't use it in other tenses. It's always "paid in full."

 

[emsr2d2]

"pay in full" means to pay the full amount, not a partial amount.

Peter: How much is that car?
Salesman: £6000.
Peter: Do I have to pay in full up front?
Salesman: No, you can pay in instalments over two years.

 

[Tarheel]

OK. But in "However, she doesn't understand the risks involved, and no matter how much a surrogate charges, it won't be enough to be repaid."* Should it be "risks" or "risk"?

Could you tell me please if "fit" and "good condition" work here?
"She is fit for this pregnancy, and her health is in good condition.

Try:

No matter how much she charges it's not enough.

You could say:

She's in good health.

Or:

Her health is good.
