Dear Teachers,

1. This movie teaches you how the importance of letting your loved ones know how you feel because you never know what life has in store for you.
- What does �life has in store for you� mean here?

2. - I�ve never seen you this nervous before.
- I�ve never seen myself that nervous before.
- Are these natural?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. It means "what the future will bring."

2. The first one is natural. The second one would be natural in a certain context (for example, saying the first one and then adding the second one). It'd be the same as saying, "You're so nervous and I've never been that nervous (in my life)."

Without a context, it'd be more natural as "I've never been that nervous before." That could vary a bit depending on what tense you wanted to use.
