What do they mean?
1. Highlighting your hair is affected.
2. I have symptoms.
3. Indonesia is a Muslim country. Indonesia is an Islamic country. Are they the same?
4. Seats in the house.

Grammar questions.
1. The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

1. this sentence doesn't make any sense. highlighting your hair is a process that makes many small parts of your hair a different color than your natural color. you could say something like this...

i like the highlight in your hair.
the highlighting that you did to your hair is affective .

2. this sentence is correct

3. both of these sentences are correct. muslim and islamic are very different - they are different types of religion, like christianity, buddhism, taoism, and many more.

4. ok...seats is a noun in this sentence. you need a verb before the prepositional phrase or an adjective before the noun. something like this...

_____________ seats _________ in the house.
There are many seats in the house. There are no seats in the house. The house has no seats. The uncomfortable seats are in front of the house. We just bought new seats to put in the house.

!. grammar question...your grammar is correct! great sentence!!


hope that helps...iitimone7

Affected in this sense means that it is a pretentious thing to do. It is done merely to impress, or be noticed.

I think iitimone means in his/her example:
the highlighting that you did to your hair is effective

I believe that Islam means the religion of the muslims, rather as Christianity is the religion of the Christians.
