Dear Teachers,

1. The problem is that she refuses to turn the music down when I have my friends over.

- "When I have my friends over" means "When my friends come to visit me", right?

2. I try to stay away from drugs, drink a lot and dress like a Ho.

- What does "Ho" mean here?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

I try to stay away from drugs, drinking a lot, and dressing like a ho (whore).
"Drugs" is a noun, so "drink" and "dress" should be made into gerund nouns to match.
