a bit of good

[ngamary]

Dear Teachers,

1.You are not doing anyone a bit of good.
-Can I say “ any good” instead of “a bit of good”?

2.At times John feels like Susan is making a fool out of him.
-“ make a fool out of him’ means “treat him like a fool”, right?

3.On the surface, our relationship seems perfect.
-I think “seems to be perfect” is more correct, right?

4.– I hope I have been of some assistance.
-I hope I have given you some help.
-Are these the same meaning?
5.– Can I be any assistance, Sir?
-This means “What can I do for you, Sir”, right?

6.I’m head over heals in like with a friend of mine.
-What does “head over heals in like with” mean?

-Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Ngamary

1.You are not doing anyone a bit of good.
-Can I say “ any good” instead of “a bit of good”?
(Yes).

2.At times John feels like Susan is making a fool out of him.
-“ make a fool out of him’ means “treat him like a fool”, right?
(No. It means that she is making him appear to be a fool).

3.On the surface, our relationship seems perfect.
-I think “seems to be perfect” is more correct, right?
(Both are OK).

4.– I hope I have been of some assistance.
-I hope I have given you some help.
-Are these the same meaning?
(Yes).

5.– Can I be of any assistance, Sir?
-This means “What can I do for you, Sir”, right?
(A more precisely, "Can I do anything for you, Sir?" The intention is the same in both answers).

6.I’m head over heals in like with a friend of mine.
-What does “head over heals in like with” mean?
(The usual idiom is "head over heals in love with..." which means to be completely infatuated with someone. If there is no typo and "like" is intended, the speaker does not want to use the word "love" because his friendship is not romantic, but he wants to say that he really, really likes his friend).
