Dear Teachers,

1. He has been recently gone under medications for depression.
- �go under� here means �use� or �need�, right?

2. I�ve been worried sick about him all night.
- �I�ve been worried sick� means �I�ve been worried and nearly got sick�, right?

3. He may think that it would make him look weak or less of a man.
- �make him look less of a man� means �make him look not like a real man�, right?

Thanks a bunch to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. use would be the better choice.
2. When you are worried sick, you are very worried - so worried that it is adversely affecting your health.
3. Less of a man means, less manly - pretty much the same as weak, or, as you say, not like a real man.
