Dear Teachers,

1.He just thinks of her as family.
- This means �He just thinks of her as a younger sister�, right?

2.We have the same views on life.
- I think �about� is better than �on� here, right?

3.It ain�t gonna happen.
- �ain�t� here means �isn�t�, right?

4.He gets on me for not saying �I love you� first.
- What does �gets on me� mean here?

5.Why is it such a big deal to him?
- This means � Why is it so important to him�, right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. It means that he feels as close to her as if she were part of his own family. (Not necessarily younger).

2. On is OK and so is about.

3. Ain't is slang for isn't. It is used a lot in English speaking parts of the world.

4. He gets on me means, he criticises me.

5. Right.
