About slangs

It's been ages since we last met.
In these time, I learned some English slangs. Alright, I'll share the fruits of my study.
Because of our examination, our teacher decided to tell us some English slangs.
Such as "I'm done." To begin with, I thought it means "doomed", just like I had a big trouble.
Through my teacher, I knew that it can also mean"I finished it". That is to say, if my work were finished, I could say "I'm done!"
Besides, "I'm on it" is a phrase whose every word I know, yet I can't understand it when they are put together.
Well, at my first thought, this phrase is means "I sat down", but sat on where? Then, I learned what it mean--I'll take care of it.
That's funny! I really want to learn more about this, and even English culture!

Well, at my first thought, was this phrase is means "I sat down", but sat on whereat?

"Where" indicates location and in English, you don't use "on" in this context

I don't quite get what you mean by "even English culture". I think you mean you want to learn even more about English culture?

Such as "I'm done."

Joining it with the other sentence sounds more natural and flows better

To begin with, I thought it meanst "doomed", just like I had aas in "I'm in big trouble".

"I'm done for" = I'm doomed, it's over for me
"I'm cooked" = same meaning ("I'm doomed", "it's over for me"), but can also mean "I'm exhausted"

Well, at my first I thought, that this phrase is meanst "I sat down", but sat on where?

"Sat where" OR "sat on what"

"At first I thought..." is a very common phrase

Noted! It’s interesting that “I’m cooked” has two different meanings.

In these time, ISince then, I have learned some English slangs.

1) When you want to talk about the time between your last meeting and today, “since then” is very natural.

2)
“I learned” = This sounds like an action that has finished- you are no longer learning.

“I have learned” = This shows that you learned some English slang in the past, and you now have that knowledge right now.

Because of our examinations, our teacher decided to tellach us some English slangs.

1) In English, we normally will say ‘exam’ or ‘exams’.
-“I have an exam tomorrow”
-“Because we have an exam next week, our teacher is teaching us about grammar”.

2) We do not use “To tell” when we are talking about someone teaching us something, instead we use “To teach”.
I teach , You teach , He/She/it teaches , We teach , They teach.

To begin withAt first, I thought it meanst "doomed", just like I had awas in big trouble.

1) “At first” sounds a bit more natural here.

2) Because we are using the past tense (thought) we need to use the past tense of ‘To mean’ (meant) to show that you thought this in the past.
- “I think it means we are doomed.
- “I thought it meant that we were doomed”.

3) If we want to say that something is similar to another thing.

4) We do not use “to have [trouble]” instead, we use “to be in [trouble]”.
Also we cannot count ‘trouble’ so we do not need ‘a’ in front of it.
We still need to use the past tense here (I was) because we are talking about an even that was in the past.

BesidesAlso, "I'm on it" is a phrase whose every word I know, yet I can't understand it when they are put together.

1) Because you are adding new information / adding a new point we use “also” here (or “in addition”).

2) “whose every word I know” is great! 👏

Yes, “I’m on it” simply means “I will do it now”. For example….
John- “Please can you send me the email?”
Maria- “I’m on it!” (“I am doing it right now!”).

Well, at my first I thought, that this phrase is meanst "I sat down", but sat on where?

1) I think you mixed up two possible phrases here. You could say…
-“Well, my first thought was that…” or;
- “Well, at first I thought that…”

2) Because we are talking about the past again we need to use the past tense of ‘to mean’ (meant).

I combined this phrase with the previous sentence.

To begin with, I thought it means "doomed", just like I had a big trouble.

To begin withAt the start, I thought it meanst "doomed", just like I had a big tproublem. At the start, I thought it meant "doomed", like I had a big problem.

Or you could say "before that". "Problem" works better here

Through my teacher, I knew that it can also mean"I finished it".

Through my teacher, I klearnewd that it can also mean"I finished it". Through my teacher, I learned that it can also mean"I finished it".

1) Because it was information that you had to learn we use ‘learned’ (past tense). Because you did not already know this information you cannot use ‘knew’.

Through my teacher, I now kneow that it can also mean "I finished it". Through my teacher, I now know that it can also mean "I finished it".

Through my teacher, I knew that it can also mean" that I finished it". Through my teacher, I knew that it can also mean that I finished it.

That is to say, if my work were finished, I could say "I'm done!"


That is to say, if my work wereas finished, I could say "I'm done!" That is to say, if my work was finished, I could say "I'm done!"

I think "work" is not really plural here, so "was" makes more sense
