Dear Teachers,

1.Do �get on� and �move on� mean �continue or go on�?
2.Good luck to you and him in your journey of rising love together.
-�rising love� here means �raising love up�, right?

3.A: How are you doing?
B: I�m doing great / I�m doing very well / I�m doing good / I�m very well.
-Are these natural?

4.He gets all teary-eyed when he meets his clients.
-What does �all teary-eyed� mean?

5.A: Hey! How ya doing man?
B: Couldn�t be better! How about yourself? Or And yourself?
-What does �couldn�t be better!� mean here? And why don�t we say �and you?� instead of � how about yourself? Or and yourself?�?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. 'get on' has a few meanings.

If you are friends with someone and don't often fight with them, you get on with them.

If you move forward through success (like in a job) then you get on.

Examples:

I get on with my little brother more than I get on with my sisters.
This qualification will help you get on in the world of media communications.

2. It means growing love. Love that is growing.

3. Yes - all natural

4. It means emotional. There are tears in his eyes, like he's going to cry soon.

5. You can use either ... 'and you?' 'and yourself?'
