To "figure out a problem" means to find a solution to a problem. If I don't know what defining and non-defining relative clauses are - I can go on the internet to figure it out. After I know what they are, I can say, "I'm so happy I finally figured that out!."
Other examples:
"The police couldn't figure out how the thief had gotten into the house."
"I had a fight with my sister, but we figured it out and now we're best friends again."
"It took me three years to figure out that the man I loved was the man who was trying to kill me."
hi Francisco, split up:this word you can used when you want to pay a count with someone. example:you´ll said him let's split up the bill. Or you want to break with your boyfriend you can say I think is better to split up. waist up: this meaning you can used when you refer from the waist to head. example: I want a picture from the waist up.
The difficult part for me is the correct using of Defining relative clauses and Nondefining relative clauses. I understand the difference i just have difficultin the correct model of using both, i supossed is the comas the hard part.
Hey there, everyone, I have an inquiry for Joshua: I would like to know if I can use ¨couldn´t have seen¨ instead of ¨can´t have seen¨? For example if I say ¨you couldn´t have seen him last night, he´s on a business trip¨ instead of ¨you can´t have seen him last night, he´s on a business trip¨ I find the words¨can´t have seen¨ wierd.
On the song ¨Strange fruit¨, what is the meaning of the words ¨bear a burden¨?
Modals of deduction: ¨must¨is used when you are sure of something (expected)(or action); the word ¨might¨ means that something or someone can or can´t be, it´s like saying ¨probably but not sure¨, it´s a possibility. ¨Could¨is a possibility as well. ¨May¨ is used as ¨might¨ And the word ¨can´t¨ means that you are so certain that something is NOT possible.

See you tomorrow,
