A ten-point turn would be a turn executed in 10, rather than 3 moves. Needless to say, this is not a "perfect turn" :P

here is a picture to help

A: Pass = you choose to not have your turn.
Skip = you do not choose to not have your turn.

"Jack was distracted, so we skipped his turn. Jane did not have any good cards, so she passed her turn."

But I sometimes hear pass and skip used to both mean choose to not have a turn.

A: The difference is subtle. The phrase "in return" implies someone is receiving something beneficial. (I will wash your dishes and in return, will you do my laundry?) The phrase "in turn" talks more about consequences or the sequence of events in time, and can often have a similar meaning to the word "eventually". They are possibly interchangeable in these sentences, but they are not always interchangeable. Both of these phrases are somewhat formal, and are much more common in writing than in speech.

A: I don't think we say "by turns." But I think it would mean the same thing as "in turn." You can also say "take turns."

We answer in turn. (One person answers and then another person answers.)

We take turns answering.

A: They mean basically the same thing, but "appear" is a bit more formal. Not that the word "appear" can have other meanings as well. So you could say, "Mr. Jones appeared late at the meeting" or "Mr. Jones turned up late at the meeting", but you could also say "Mr. Jones appeared nervous at the meeting" which refers to how he looked/acted, rather than just when he arrived.

A: Honestly, you could use whichever one!

"it's on me" is a bit more casual than "let me pay," which can sound a little forceful if you're not careful about your vocal tone.

"it's my turn" implies that your friends will pay for future meals (and that they've paid for meals in the past)

In short, if you're with your friends, "it's on me" is probably the simplest way to say it :) Though I wouldn't use it in formal situations!

A: Yeah, since you can't really turn off a home phone. If you tell someone to turn off their cell phone, you're saying "power it down so it's completely off"

A: Here you go

A: You can also say "by a degree" instead of "by one degree" which would be slightly more natural. Of course this only applies to the number of 'one', but can be applied to most situations "Buy me an apple" is just slightly more natural then "Buy me one apple"
However if you are intending to be accurate with the number of degrees. "One degree" is good.

A: It almost sounds natural. "I turned 34." would be a more natural phrase.

A: It means "to give", but it has the implication of reluctance or defeat.

A: Because "after" and "look after" have two different meanings.

I looked at her after - implies after an event you looked at her.

I look after her - has a meaning of taking care of the girl.

A: I think he meant "turned over" literally. As in, when Watson and Sherlock were watching the news, Sherlock was probably lying down facing the television. When he saw the news, he said "boring" and then turned to face away from the television to get more rest.
This sentence is mainly to point out how unfazed Sherlock is by terrorist bombings.
