22 de dic. de 2008 · No, 'gold will shine' is a statement about the value of gold on the world markets. The value of gold declined significantly over the last several decades, but many people speculate that the value of gold will climb sharply over the next year.

29 de may. de 2009 · May 29, 2009. #1.

25 de nov. de 2015 · Oct 10, 2024. #5. I think it's the same. I would still use 'on' in that case (akin to 'on the next page'). In fact, even when we say 'on the screen' in the more usual sense, I'm not sure we are talking about the physical hardware (unless, of course, you're talking about a dirty mark or a fly on the surface of the screen!)
9 de sept. de 2012 · Jan 28, 2013. #7. From the original example we can see subtle differences implied. " "But when you're parenting in the White House, you have to be even more strict than your average mom or dad."

21 de dic. de 2004 · Dec 21, 2004. #6. dejar huella = leave a footpring. "I want to leave my mark on whatever I do." Yo pienso que, pues, no sé si en otros lugares, pero in los EEUU van a saber qué quiere decir cuando se dice “I want to leave my mark.”. También se dicen “I want to go beyond”—o, “I want to live my life on the edge.”. C.
6 de jun. de 2007 · Thanks. Yes, when the phrase is used as a whole to describe something (when it functions as an adjective phrase before the noun), you hypenate it and use the singular form of the measurement. Eg.: five-yard-long rope; six-foot-tall man; ten-year-old boy. If the description comes after the verb you don't use hyphens and you use the plural form ...
6 de jun. de 2007 · Jun 7, 2007. #3. In Russian, one can say: Пусть земля ему/ей будет пухом (May the earth be soft for him/her), Светлая ему/ей память (Let the memory of him/her be light), Упокой Господь его/её душу (God rest his/her soul).
