Dear Teachers,
1. Before you make too big of a deal out of it, you should confirm it with a doctor.
- What does �make too big of a deal out of it� mean?
2. If she really wants to keep the child then you need to suck in your gut and get a job.
- What does �suck in your gut� mean?
3.� You have a responsibility to your child.
- You have the responsibility for your child.
- Which one is more grammatical?
Thanks a bunch to Teachers,
Stevenukd |

ok ill give this a try.
�make too big of a deal out of it�
Quote: |
To make somthing more important that it really is. Or worry too much over little problem. |
�suck in your gut�
Quote: |
Imagine that your going to face a problem, you take a deep breath and do it. "sucking in your gut" is the same as "take a deep breath." |
"You have a responsibility to your child." is correct.
I hope im not doing your homework for you. But its best to understand the phrases you need to imagine, or act out the action to understand the meaning. _________________ Visit my Blog on a Chinese web site.
