[Vocabulary] Which is correct? (About Heroes and Villains/Grammar)

[ceciliafontes]

Hello, guys!

I have some questions about these words.

1º) It's incorrect to say to a woman "You're my heroe"?. I know I can use "heroine", but it's common you use "hero" referring to a woman?

2º) About movies, we can say that "The good girl has to be happy at the end" or "The good girl has to be happy in the end"? Which is correct? at/in?

3º) Read the fragment of a dialogue (figuratively): "Heroes or villains? Who are our parents?". Is it correct? Or would... "Heroes or villains? What are our parents?" Which is correct?

Hello? Someone answer, please!

1. You are right, people sometimes say "You're my hero" to a woman, though the correct term is "heroine."
2. At the end and in the end are almost synonymous, but "at the end" refers to the end of the book or movie, while "in the end" refers to the character's life or her point of view.
3. Either question is possible, with a different focus or view point.

Please don't bump your thread after only two hours. You need to have some patience.

You can also say "Which are our parents?"
