Dear Teachers,

1) That was caused by your way of loose living. ( Is this sentence right? )

2) I didn't mean to come on so strong. ( Does " come on " mean " angry "? )

3) It has gotten to the point. ( What does this sentence mean? )

4) Does " I'm so stuffed" mean " I'm so full "?

Thanks a lot.

1) That was caused by your way of loose living. ( Is this sentence right? ) [Yes, I think it is OK.]

2) I didn't mean to come on so strong. ( Does " come on " mean " angry "? ) [Not exactly. To "come on strong" means to approach someone in a very assertive manner. You might be angry, but more likely, you just had some firm ideas that you wanted to convince someone of.]

3) It has gotten to the point. ( What does this sentence mean? ) [This is not a complete sentence, but an introductory part of a longer sentence. It means that the situation has been developing, and at this time, things are fairly serious:
- Joe has been complaining and whining about his job more and more. It has gotten to the point that I really don't enjoy being around him.

4) Does " I'm so stuffed" mean " I'm so full "? [Yes.]
