1 How to Use “Eye"
KCould you keep an eye on my bag?¶
or ¶
Can you keep an eye on my bag.?
Depends on how polite you want to sound.
You have a good eye.
Where did you get that shirt?
How can you see it with the naked eye?
Used more when saying you can't see something, like "You can't see it with the naked eye."
My eyes were bigger than my stomach.
I'll have it for breakfast tomorrow.
There're kind ofYou have dark circles under theyour eyes, right. Did you stay up late last night studying?
A: Let me see those pictures.¶
or¶
Let me see a picture.
I’m glad we see eye to eye.
How bad is your eyesight?
CI couldn't you believe myour eyes when youI saw what happened?!
This turn of phrase is mainly used when someone is relaying a story.
The good times are over in the blink of an eye, right?.
You're so beautiful so a! All eyes weremust've been on you when you were a student or something, right?!
This is a great line for flirting once the conversation has progressed.
B: How much are you thinking of for rent?
You might be better off asking what their budget is. The "for rent" part is implied.
"What is your budget?"
"How much are you thinking your budget will be?"
A: Do you have the eye of the tiger?
This turn of phrase is not used when talking about flirting. It is from the Katy Perry song "Eye of the Tiger," and I honestly don't know what it means in the song.
You knowWhat about you?
A: I'm reminded of graduation ceremonyies.
Since this is general, you would be talking about all graduation ceremonies, making it need to be plural.
A: PThe first thing to pop into my head, is an entrance ceremony or a class change.
You know?
"You know?" isn't typically used in conversation. Instead, try "You know what I'm talking about?" or "What about you?"
A: SThe seas and summer vacation!
You could also use "The ocean" instead of "the seas." They both work.
A: Hmm, I wdonder't know what it isreminds me of.
When English speakers don't know the answer to a question like this, we tend to repeat part of the question when restating that we don't know it.
B: When you hear the word "November", what are you reminded of?
A: I guess there're not many events in November in Japan.
You could also say: "I guess there aren't many events in November in Japan."
HowWhat about your country?
A: December seems to havehas a lot of events.
But tThe first thing that comes to mind is Christmas and the end of the year.
Most sentences tend not to be started with the word "but" when writing, but when speaking this is perfectly acceptable.
Just zZip your lip about this.
Do you think you can trust this word of mouth?
"word of mouth" is usually used when referring to something someone specifically said.
I love ox tongue the best in yakiniku!
I'll hold my tongue for now.
You will hold your tongue; saying "I hold" is like you are saying that you are actually holding it in your hand.
Because mMy mother tongue is Japanese.
It's getting to be a bit long in the tooth.
She's always has a sharp tongue.
A person is not a sharp tongue, it is some thing someone has.
That one is almost aup in arms.
I assume you are using the phrase "up in arms" which is to be ready to fight someone.
A: JI just I've gottengot a paper cut.
I like women with short nails and don't nail.
Are there any stores at the foot of thate mountain?
I'm 5.9 feet 9 inches tall.
You can also write your height as
5ft 9in
or
5'9"
They keeps me on my toes.
I like birds so I don't even want to say even "kill two birds with one stone."
I love a chickens and I also love chicken.
Chickens plural implies that you like the animal. Chicken singular implies that you like eating the animal.
Cows are too cute too, right?
They say you can experience hanging from an elephant's nosetrunk.
Fun fact- the nose of the elephant is called a trunk!
This isWe all know that the elephant in the room, okay? is [insert thing here], but...
Most people usually know what the elephant in the room is. When the phrase is used in real life, it is used when someone is about to address the elephant anyway.
Foxes are so cute like that, but they have an awful lot of dangerous germs on them.
If you add "like that" it implies that you are talking to someone and you both are looking directly at the object of the sentence.

You have a good eye.
Where did you get that shirt?
How can you see it with the naked eye?
My eyes were bigger than my stomach.
I'll have it for breakfast tomorrow.
There're kind of dark circles under the eyes, right?
Kind of sounds a bit unnatural here. You're technically using it right, but we don't often use "kind of" unless we're answering a question. Example: "Are you American?" "Kind of, I'm a duel citizen."
B: I have my eye on some clothes.
A: Let me see those picture.s. /Let me see that picture.
"Those" implies that the next word will be plural.
Nice!
I’m glad we see eye to eye.
How bad is your eyesight?
Couldn't you believe your eyes when you saw what happened?¶
More natural: When you saw what happened, could you believe your eyes?
You can say "I couldn't believe my eyes," but you can't say "Couldn't you believe."
The good times are over in the blink of an eye, right?
You' were so beautiful, so all eyes were on you when you were a student or something, right?
"Or something" isn't used in this case. "Or something" is used mainly when you are thinking of suggestions.
Example: "We could go out for ice cream or something."
Another note. "Were" is in the past tense. "You're" means "you are" and not "you were", so it is in the present tense. In English, we can't really switch those tenses around mid-sentence unless there is a good reason.
A: I’m eyeing a new apartment.
B: How much are you thinking of for rent?
A: Do you have the eye of the tiger?
B: I'll confess to her.
2 How to Use “January"
B: What comes to your mind when you hear January?
You're correct in your sentence, but "what comes to mind" is much more natural and sounds more native.

A: Umm, I wonder what it is.
I don't really have an impression of June.
I think of... rainy season!
8 How to Use “July"
B: When you hear the word "July", what do you think of?
A: Seas and summer vacation!
Do I sound like a kid?
Not really. I suppose it depends on the tone of your voice, but that's a normal answer an adult would give.
9 How to Use “August"
B: When you hear the word "July", of what are you reminded?
You can say, "what are you reminded of" or "of what are you reminded."

10 How to Use “September"

B: When you hear the word "November", of what are you reminded?
Same note as before, with the word "of" at either the beginning or end of the clause.
A: I guess there' are not many events in November in Japan.
There are can not be shortened to there're when writing. You can say it that way out loud, but it's not technically a word.
How about your country?
13 How to Use “December"
B: When you hear the word "December", what does it remind you of?
A: December seems to have a lot of events.
But the first thing that comes to mind is Christmas and the end of the year.

How far can you stick your tongue out?
It’s on the tip of my tongue!
I love ox tongue best in yakiniku!
Cat got your tongue?
I will hold my tongue for now.
There's no real reason why you need to say "I will hold my tongue, "but "I hold my tongue" does not sound natural. English is annoying like that.
It was a slip of the tongue.
Because my mother tongue is Japanese.
17 How to Use “tooth"
It's getting a bit long in the tooth.
Teeth never cut a tooth again, so you should take good care of them.
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

That one is almost a arms.
