Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Case"

A: It depends on the context. For example:

A: “You should bring your jacket, just in case it’s cold at the restaurant.”

“Are you sure it’s not due tomorrow? I’ll finish it just in case.”

“I’m pretty sure this is correct, but I’ll ask the teacher just in case.”

A: •Just in case you were wondering i wrote it down for you
•Just in case she got hungry i made a cake for her.
•Just in case i wouldn't have time in the afternoon, i made my homework early

A: Whatever the case, I will always love you.

A: This is a very good question. These don't have too much of a difference to sound like a native speaker. I am not a grammar expert, but here is my advice:

In case: usually at the end of sentences. It also works if it is followed by a "subject" word or something that does action, like I, you, the dog, the flu.
Example: In case you get a cold, here is a sweater. Here is a sweater, just in case. In case I die, we have insurance.

In case of: It emphasizes a situation rather than a "subject", as well as this situation being hypothetical. I think it may also work better for emergencies.
Example: In case of a fire, please go to the nearest exit. In case of an earthquake, please remain calm.
*note: "In the case of" is more formal I think. "In the case of a fire, please go to the nearest exit."

*note: I think these can be interchangeable depending if you view something as a "large situation" or something focused on an individual.
1: In case we get coronavirus, we must socially distance.
2: In the case of us getting coronavirus, we must socially distance.
1 feels more personal and colloquial and is more focused on "we." 2 feels more formal and is more focused on the hypothetical situation "of us getting coronavirus" rather than just "us." But in these cases, there is not too much difference. 1 is just faster and easier to say which makes it more colloquial.

A: “In any case” is talking about situations but “at any rate” is more for time or amounts

A: @tutuatsu15 They are both the same in that regard. The only difference is "of" is talking about the case of the disease and "with" is talking about a case of something that also involves a disease.

A: The first sentence is the most formal and grammatically correct.

The second and third sentences are less formal, and should include the word "about":

"I'll state my case, which I'm certain about."

"I'll state my case, that I'm certain about."

Even the first sentence could include "about", though it's not strictly necessary:

"I'll state my case, of which I'm certain about."

A: Case by case = there is no generic answer; each case requires a unique assessment.

— “They are accepting clients on a case-by-case basis.”

Conditional = the response depends on whether or not specific requirements are met.

— “They are conditionally accepting clients, provided that the clients pay up front.”

A: "This/That is usually not the case." 평상시에 안 일어나는 사건/현상이 일어난다면 이 문장을 쓰시면 돼요. 그 사건/현상 아니었으면 상황이 반대로 됐을 거예요.

예를 들면:
항상 높은 점수를 받는 학생의 성적이 갑자기 떨어지는 것. 이런 상황에서는 이런 말을 하시면 돼요, "That's usually not the case. That student used to do really well before!"

A: It can be either, it's situational:

If you haven't seen someone in a while and they ask broadly
"So, what are you up to (these days)?"
...it means what/how are you doing in general

However, if someone seems to be asking specifically, finding you alone in a room, for example and asking

"Hey, what are you up to?"

This is a question about what you are doing specifically.

A: they are interchangeable

A: The first one is correct, since starting the sentence off with “the other cases” already indicates the existence of these cases. In the second sentence “when there is one” is wrong because it is already implied that there ARE other cases.

A: it means the person/persons will die if some action isn't taken.
the usual saying is "it's a matter of life or death"

Doctor: We need to take your wife into surgery
Husband: I don't know if that's the right thing to do.
Doctor: It's a matter of life or death
(meaning if she does not go into surgery she will die)

I hope this helps

A: when you’re counting, after one hundred, you add the “and”; one hundred and one, one hundred and two, one hundred and three… …one hundred and ten, one hundred and eleven, one hundred and twelve, one hundred and thirteen… …one hundred and twenty…

You would say “and” for each number after one hundred. It is not omitted again until two hundred, at which point you would repeat in the same pattern: two hundred and one, two hundred and two, two hundred and three, etc. this applies to 101-199, 201-299, 301-399, 401-499, 501-598, 601-699, 701-799, 801-899, and 901-999.

Once you get above 1000 you would say one thousand and one, one thousand and two… …one thousand and ten, one thousand and eleven, etc. this changes again when you get over 1099. “One thousand, one hundred”. And returns to the standard one thousand, one hundred and one and repeats in the same way as the numbers 100-999

This is pretty much the standard when you encounter hundred.

103,499 would be pronounced as one hundred and three thousand, four hundred and ninety-nine.

1351 would be pronounce as one thousand, three hundred and fifty one.

135 would be pronounced as one hundred and thirty five.

199 would be pronounced as one hundred and ninety nine.

As far as leaving it out when another and is in close proximity, for the overwhelming majority of the time, the answer would be no. Some may pronounce the “and” as more of an “n” or as “an” and drop the letter d. It is generally easy to say quickly in a series of numbers. But for the most part, I wouldn’t worry too much about that, it’s more something to keep in mind.

Oh! When discussing currency: $100.50 - “one hundred dollars and fifty cents” would be how that is said

$150.50 - “one hundred and fifty dollars, and fifty cents” would be the common way to say that.

$1250.55 - “one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars, and fifty five cents” would be the common way to say that amount of money.

Hope this helps a bit.

A: × In mostly case of what I saw, mixed race people are pretty or handsome.
✓ In most cases that I’ve seen, mixed race people are pretty or handsome.

A: 1. "stopped at immigration"
I don't know what you mean by "being suspected the purpose of visiting". Could you be more specific?

2. "losing it"
This is fine but a more natural way is: "This bracelet won't come off unless the screw gets loose. So there is not much chance of losing it unless someone cuts off my arms or something."

3. "We can have all we can drink from these selections."

4. I don't know what you are cutting but I think "Cut it in half" is probably better.

5. fine

A: I’ve got the flu. Or, I’ve got flu. It’s exactly the same. It’s an unusual construct as with most illnesses we omit the article. I’ve got cancer/ diabetes etc. We can say we’ve got a cold, though some people might say I’ve got the cold, but this is rare.

A: Yes both sentences are fine. I think that adding "of" here just makes their explanation slightly more clear.
