    It is appropriate to use the name that the school calls itself based on its location in Arizona. I can’t find a “London School of Topology” but I do see a:

    London School of Geometry and Number Theory

    Note that it’s London not London’s. The possessive is not typical, but it does show up here and there, notably in:

    King’s College, Cambridge

    Note also that, typically, all the words are capitalized except the short linking words like “of”, “and”, etc.

  • I want an umbrella when it rains. Why not just buy one?

    When it will rain I’ll buy an umbrella. How do I know the time after that?

    If it rains, will I buy an umbrella?

    With the forecast that it will rain once this coming October, I’ll buy a weather monitor.

    How do I find an umbrella and keep it dry when rains?

    I’m planning on buying an umbrella a couple days later but

    it’s raining. How many times will it rain?

  • Asked on March 28, 2021 in Synonyms.

    What gives them a meaning?

    To go through. (also verb phrase): To do something unpleasant or difficult that has already been agreed or promised.

    This phrase usually implies that the person doing the task is reluctant to carry it out.

    Stephen is blind, so we had to challenge him to skydive. He surprised us all.

    Everything mentioned above makes sense for my homework, but at this point in time, it doesn’t sound natural. The phrase is usually used for more significant and significant events, for which there is some implied moral obligation.


    get, over with: to finish or reach the end of some unpleasant work or experience, or duty: In

    comparison, this means to reluctantly get something done, with more of a focus on completion than the process of doing it. Some people sense of responsibility on others, but not the same level of obligation in themselves. You may also get it over with in any way that seems appropriate to you, rather than as a fulfillment of a promise.

    Sam Wilson didn’t want to make any fundraising calls for his campaign so it went to him instead. He didn’t want to do these calls at all. If David Ek made a pitch he’d rather be talking to voters or reporters or any other than wealthy donors. If Donald Trump wants to win the election, he’d be better off getting over with it.

    Is this phrase appropriate for homework?


    Just note, “Get through (something)” does has a similar meaning as “get (something) over with”.

    How can one get through all Monday, so that next week can be a cinch?

    As with “go through”, this focuses a bit more on the process of reaching completion but it lacks the feeling of moral obligation.

    I’d better get through this homework, before we start playing video games. I’d better understand this than make me a video game expert.

    How can one help a single person with learning difficulties in an increasingly complex field?

  • Asked on March 28, 2021 in Grammar.

    It seems like you’re reaching for the correct idiom to use with set and hope. What does this idiom mean? I hope we have something that does not happen, I hope that if it doesn’t, there would be some consequences.. As

    with almost all English idioms, there’s no underlying rule

    and you simply have to memorize the pattern.

    Why “hope” in English and not “hope”? What idiom is created with and you can create a logical explanation. I suggest you try a different idiom and I’d love to explain it. Anyway, your sentences are grammatically fine, but the meaning doesn’t parse as well as if you use the idiom. Is it useless?

    That person hoped to win the debate She hoped to get the big promotion and also was very happy with the contract contracts.

    (also related to having high expectations) A

    related idiom is to “have high hopes”

    This means that you really want something to

    happen, so much that you almost expect it to happen, but not necessarily that you beg for it to happen to happen first.

    If we are going to get more votes for the debate

    in November, we will take advantage of the election

    results and by that time will the candidate win. Each candidate

    has high hopes that he would win the debate that they

    would enjoy the big promotion.
