I frequently use my money to cover housing and food expenses, and I occasionally allocate a moderate portion of my budget to buy new clothes as a treat for myself."
Hello. Could you please help me? Is the following sentence correct using the verb "gain"?
- When Mazen’s father died, Mazen gained a lot of money as inheritance.
Thank you
I'm not sure I'd say it's incorrect, but it's an unusual use of the verb 'gain'.
We do speak of investments or currencies 'gaining' value, but as far as I know it's used in the way it is in your sentence. That said, it is intelligible.
I would probably say, 'he inherited a lot of money'.
I spend most of money on my son's education fee. He is five year olds this year. I hope he will be a good citizen in the future. I also spend money on things that I like to do.
Hmm... I don't know but maybe I spend most of my money on sports.
In fact I like to go away on weekends by bicycle and therefore I spend my money on transport, meals and sleeping.
I also spend a lot of money on bike maintenance!
