FIRST THING FIRST
Dear Teachers,
1. I don't think I can take another heartbreak.
- "take" here means "stand", right? "heart-break" is the pain which is caused when two people break up, right?
2. Is "fall in love with someone" the same meaning as "love someone"?
3. Don't let him get better of you.
- This means "don't let him take advantage of you", right?
4. Is "first off" the same meaning as "first thing first"?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.
