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

A: @danny180305

It could mean, the conversation is over and I have learnt a lot. I have become a better/different person because of this conversation.

Or, do you mean “I’m leaving this conversation chain”?

When there is a conversation over email or text it can be called a ‘chain’ or ‘thread’.

“I’m leaving this conversation chain” means - I am leaving this (text) conversation.

A: The phrase “leaving it until the last minute” means you put off a task until the latest possible point.

“It’s no good leaving it until the last minute” is a way of telling someone to get something over with/ do the task/ don’t procrastinate.

A: That leaving is something that he/she always does. (A personal habit)

A: Theyvare equalivalent.
First one, you say when you are leaving.
The second one you say what you will be going to do tomorrow (leave).
I know this is not the best explanation, but theyvare equal in meaning.

A: There is no difference!! If you say the first one people might think that you are going to live in Paris though.

A: There is no difference. "going to" highlights the speakers intention, sometimes we omit this because it's not really needed for the listener to understand.

If I had to find a difference, I think we would use "going to" more when the action is going to happen further in the future, but as I noted, there isn't a difference really and you could express that future action without "going to".

A: What do you do for a living? (What is your job?)

A: @aloe_ Thank you:)

A: That's the latest time I have ever left the office.
But I'm okay because I'm relaxing at home now.

A: That's the latest that I've ever left the office. But it's okay because now I'm relaxing at home.

A: I saw her leaving the house. / I saw her leaving her/his/my home.

A: This sentence is good, but it may sound more natural if you said:

...but I don't think he even realises that I'm worried about such a thing.

A: This is one of those things, in my opinion, that nobody really cares about, or really even know about. Most people use the colloquial one in all situations, although personally I might use the proper one sometimes because I like playing with language. To that extent, I guess it's personal preference. But like 95% percent of native speakers, probably even more, use the colloquial one all the time, I would say.

Personally, it would depend on the purpose and type of the essay. If you're writing an academic essay for school or something, I would not use the colloquial. I personally stick to the grammatically proper one in all academic writing. It's not necessary, but it's one of those things you do to get that 95+ in English, in my opinion. Again, most people will use the colloquial. It's one of those really obscure rules like not ending sentence with prepositions. Well, the prepositions one is definitely much more obscure than this one, but it's still not very common to see people use the proper version.
