Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Arm"

A: it's basically havinh someone who looks good hang around you to show off but not being in a real relationship. usually a lot of older men have young women as arm candy

A: I would give a lot for it. An arm is important to you and so would a lot of money be.

A: The "armpit" of a place is the "unimportant, kind of gross" part of a place.

So if you're in the "armpit of the universe," you're not in a very good part of it.

You could also say, "Armpit of the country," "Armpit of the office," or even "Armpit of the galaxy."

It's an insult to that particular place. :)

A: "extend an arm" is not a phrase used to my knowledge. "give me a hand" or "lend a hand" may be what you are thinking of. they mean to help. for instance, "I'm trying to fix this leak. I know you're good with plumbing, could you lend a hand?"

A: "Is the computer any good?"
"I should hope so, I paid an arm and a leg for it."

A: I know she cares for me, but she still has the habit of keeping everybody at arm's length.
(As in, she doesn't want to get too close. Possibly she doesn't trust too easily.)

A: "I hit him on the arm." would be correct here because you stated "him" already and do not have to say "his" in the second. Both work, but the first one is more natural.

A: “It hurts when you bend my arm.” is correct

“It will hurt if you bend my arm.” is also correct

A: "the doors were closing" can mean that it's automatic or no one wants it to really happen.

"the doors were being closed" can mean someone is manually closing it.

A: The meaning is no different, but “He hurt his arm in the accident.” Sounds a bit more natural

A: @Eduardoakaedu: gripping is like a soft one and grabbing is more forceful

A: If you want to use “when”, I think it’s more natural to change it to —> “I injured my arm when I was playing tennis”

“I injured my arm while I was playing tennis” is natural too

A: It’s wrong if you directly replace while with during.

Depending on what specifically you were doing, you can change the sentence.
If it was a tennis match/game, you can say: “I injured my arm during a tennis game”
If it was tennis practice, you can say: “I injured my arm during tennis practice”

A noun follows after “during” so you can’t say “playing” after “during” since “playing” is a verb

A: I think in English, written and spoken words are used in the same way. 🤔 I can’t think of times when written and spoken words are different except for slang (like lol, imo, and so on)



“In buying a car, what points are important?”
“Buying” becomes a noun in this sentence. The “in” can be replaced with “about” or “when”. Sometimes, when the verb goes in the beginning, it becomes a noun (I will show you an example below)

This sentence can actually be flipped to “What points are important when buying a car?”
“buying” is a verb here so you use “when”

There are two visible differences about S1. “In buying a car, what points are important?” and S2. “While playing tennis, I injured my arm.”
1. In S1, it is general while S2 is specific. S1 talks about buying a car in general while S2 talks about something that happened to only you.
2. In S1, “buying” is a noun but in S2, “playing” is a verb.
However, you can change “playing tennis” into a noun —> “In tennis playing, the players get injured often.” (I had to change it to “the players...” because of difference 1)
