Câu hỏi về câu ví dụ, định nghĩa và cách sử dụng của "Earth"

A: It's a figure of speech, like when something unbelievable happens and you want to express your shock you say "how on earth did that happen?" Similarly if someone tells you to remember a huge list you say "how on earth am I supposed to remember this?"

A: It means the ground is wet. "Earth" is a word for bare ground that plants can grow in.

After the rain I could smell the wet earth.

A: Plough

A: Yep. The person you are talking to is happy because they think things are going a certain way. But you want to tell them what the truth is, and that might make them sad or upset. When we have parades, we want good weather, so when it starts to rain during a parade, we get upset. When we have a bubble, we are happy because the colors of the bubble are pretty and it moves around on the wind. So, when someone busts/pops our bubble, it makes us sad. By telling them the truth, you are bursting their bubble, raining on their parade, and throwing them for a loop. Usually we apologize and then use those phrases.

I'm sorry to have to rain on your parade, but...
I hate to burst your bubble, but...
This may throw your for a loop, but....

A: "She has a very down-to-earth type of personality."

This is a bit of a difficult one to explain. "Down-to-earth" is almost always used by itself, and it means that the person is very realistic and honest, but still calm and collected. To most, it's a compliment, but it really depends on who you're talking to.

I hope this helps. ^-^
