The phrase "under the weather" means "slightly unwell or in low spirits," according to Google's online dictionary resource.Examples:Jennifer was feeling a bit under the weather today, so she chose to take the day off.When Harley found out that his girlfriend was feeling under the weather, he decided to bring her flowers to cheer her up.Since Ellis was under the weather, the other group members struggled with completing the project.In order to prove that these sentences are grammatically sound, let's reverse them and insert the definition in the phrase's place.Reversed Examples:Jennifer was feeling [slightly] unwell today, so she chose to take the day off.When Harley found out that his girlfriend was feeling in low spirits, he decided to bring her flowers to cheer her up. (Note: The word "feeling" can be removed in this sentence as it will cause no damage to its structure.)Since Ellis was slightly unwell, the other group members struggled with completing the project.As you can see, each and every sentence was just as effective when reversed, so my point is proven.If there are any other questions, comments, or concerns you may have, feel free to let me know!

How is the phrase "my condolences" used in a sentence?

“I offer my condolences for your loss.”Basically, my condolences means sympathy or melancholy feelings. It is what you say to people when they’ve lost a family member or friend, or even something as simple as a job.

Is it correct to use the phrase "respond back" in a sentence?

“Respond back” is what is called a tautology. It uses two words with essentially the same meaning. Another example would be: “fatal murder”. Tautologies are usually considered poor style, however can be used for emphasis or clarity in some cases. For example, the expression “free gift” might be used to clarify that there are really no strings attached somewhere in the fine print.I would say “respond back” is just poor style. Addition of the word “back” is completely superfluous and, IMO indicates ignorance on the part of the user.

HOW DO YOU USE THIS WORD IN A SENTENCE? Does my sentence make sense?

Here is my sentence:

Investing your money into my movie remake of, “Romeo and Juliet,” would by foremost be a great choice.

Investing your money into my movie remake of, "Romeo and Juliet," would foremost be the supreme choice that you will ever make.

Is my punctuation right? and does remake have a hyphen? Re-make? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

How do I use "or so I thought" properly in a sentence?

It works to negate your previous statement, informing the listener that it was untrue. It’s good for story telling, I think :)To use it, you’d usually place it after the sentence.In the race, Superhorse came in first as always, or so I thought. Turns out Belowaveragehorse took the gold this time.My doctor took some tests and everything was perfectly fine, or so I thought. The scrambled eggs were bad and I only have three hours to live.Usually you’d follow up with an explanation of why you said “or so I thought”. People will probably look at you expectantly waiting for the finale.

"My first try in writing a short story." Is this sentence right?

No, as it has no verb. The word writing is a verb but it is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition in and does not function as the verb for the subject try.You can make this phrase into a sentence two ways. Here are two simple examples (not elegant sentences, just illustrations of the correction):Use the phrase as a predicate: This is my first try in writing a short story.Use the phrase as a subject: My first try in writing a short story was spectacular.The choice of the preposition in is not ideal. The usual construction after try as a noun is either:Try to + infinitive, as in try to write, orTry at + gerund, as in try at writing.Keep trying!

Can I start a sentence using the word "my"? For example, “my thinking of unnecessary things is getting out of hand”.

This is a perfectly good sentence. No problem with grammar or content. The word “my” is a possessive pronoun modifying a gerund which is used as the subject of the sentence: “thinking.”“My thinking of unnecessary things is getting out of hand.” You just mean that your mind is wandering; it’s clear enough. Maybe a tiny bit awkward, but not very.There are many other examples of such usage:*My running too fast caused me to knock down an old lady.*His playing the tuba at all hours is driving me insane.*Her driving in the wrong lane caused the traffic to back up for miles.Most people do not know or care that gerunds need the possessive form of words that modify them.I just happen to be a grammar geek. I like to use the right words in the right ways.

Someone please help me write a sentence using the word portends with a Past tense Participial Phrase?

I have portended my friend about the leaky pipe in the basement, and that it could be loose. If he would've listened to me his basement wouldn't be flooded.

And you ask "Also please make sure you fully describe the word in the sentence..."

Do you mean like portended would mean "warn" in this sentence?

Not too sure what you want exactly but hope it helps you.

And
There were many economic indicators that portended our current recession.
