Dear Teachers,

1. I can understand why she feels that way.
- Can I say �I can understand why she feels like that�?

2. Once you finish that, you�ll feel pretty relieved.
- Can I say �Once you have finished that�?

3. I am at a loss for what to do.
- This means �I�m confused or embarrassed for what to do�, right?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

Hi,

1. "I can understand why she feels like that" is fine.

2. "Once you have finished that, you`ll feel pretty relieved" is also fine.

3. "I am at a loss" means that you are uncertain so you are close with this one.
