A: 'though' is usually not used to start sentences; it is used as a word to join two clauses. It has a similar use to despite/in spite of

I refuse to eat any food, though I am hungry.
I still do not know the answer, though I have tried the test many times.

Though and even though can be used interchangeably in these scenarios. Using though to start a sentence is more informal.

A: For the first one it would be used if maybe you like hurt someone’s feelings, did something bad like betraying them and etc. The other two are basically the same bothering/irritating is basically meaning the same basically being sorry for annoying somebody say like you kept trying to get their attention while they are talking to someone else and they said “hold on!” and you kept calling their name. If you annoyed them in that situation you would be like sorry for bothering you. Hope you understand!

A: 1) is if you're going to call whoever "you" is, like:
A: "I'm gonna go home now."
B: "Okay, I'll call you." → B is going to call A later

2) Sounds like you're going to call yourself (e.g., you're going to use someone else's phone to call your own phone number), but it's an unnatural way to say it; "I will make a phone call to myself" would be correct.

EDIT: Oops, I noticed you made a correction!
Now 2) is just a rather unnatural way to say 1).
We tend to use "give"; "I will give you a (phone) call.", "I'll give him a call", etc.

A: It means you gave up, and started doing what you were being pressured into doing. For example, if you were studying English but gave up, you may say "I gave in to the pressure of quitting English"

A: I don’t think that there’s a big difference between these two, it mostly depends on how you’d use them in a sentence.
For example:

My math class is starting soon, I gotta go!
I gotta get going so that I don’t lose my flight.

A: I double checked and the explanation was right.

Into implies moving, going inside something.
Into also implies transformation.
In to are just next to each other.

Here’s some more examples:

Generally speaking, into places something physically inside something else. The thing that does the containing may be concrete or it may be abstract.

Please put the cat into his carrier so we can go see the vet.
She placed her letter into a pink envelope and sealed it with a kiss.
Fred touched the amulet and was whisked off into another dimension.
Felicia neatly sorted all her files into separately labeled folders.

Confusion regarding into vs. in to really only arises because in our mind’s ear, the two sound exactly the same. But the decision about which one to use is usually a simple one to make. Does something wind up within something else by the end of your sentence, whether it be within something concrete, like a box, or something abstract, like a timeframe? If the answer is yes, you need to write into as one word.

When “Into” Denotes Transformation

The only time when into does not involve a sense of within is when some kind of change or transformation has taken place.

The caterpillar changed into a butterfly and left its cocoon behind.
In developing countries, ceramic filters are often used to transform dirty water into clean, drinkable water.

”In” and “To” as Neighboring Words

In and to are both prepositions or adverbs in their own right (and in may sometimes be an adjective). When they fall logically next to each other in a sentence, you may find yourself having to resist the temptation to squish them together typographically.

One pitfall appears when you use in as part of a phrasal verb. Many verbs join forces with in to form a completely new meaning. For example, to drop and to drop in are radically different actions. When an in that is part of a phrasal verb falls next to a to, accidents happen.

I dropped into say hello. Incorrect
I dropped in to say hello. Correct

A: I worked hard on baking the bread // (even if we bake the bread, you can also say "making" - no one will mind and everyone will understand)

I put my everything into baking this bread ! (is a cute and funny way to say it)

I added "the" but you can remove it depending on the situation in which you are saying that you worked hard on making the bread !

A: @xooos 自然に聞こえます :)

A: да нет, вы точно понимаете его. Если хотите что-то сильнее, то другие варианты:

A: After youという表現は一番よく使われています。ただ場合によって、女性に対してLady firstを使うのも大丈夫です。

A: “I’m lying on my bed” or “I’m on my bed” are both fine.

“Lay” means to place an object on a horizontal surface but it’s quite formal - we usually say “put down” instead.
“I lay my pen on the table after I finish writing” (formal - not used in everyday speech)
“I put my pen down on the table after I finish writing” (usual way to say this sentence)

A: This would be better:
If I had enough money, I would buy a car.

A:

Sometimes it’s very difficult to completely decode these expressions if they are not followed by strong qualifications, like this –

You should know all about prepositions, if you want to really understand English.
– The qualification clause tells us that you cannot understand English if you don’t know about prepositions. Therefore, it’s clear that you need to know.

In your text, it’s not really clear – but it doesn’t seem to really matter.

We have a qualifying clause telling us that the person needs the equation to save the world. But it is not super clear whether the person is also saying – you should have already known this.

Just saying “you should know“ is not enough to clearly tell us. You have to specifically say – you should have already known this.

A: × 2 When I get up, I’ll take a shower at first.
✓ 2 When I get up, I’ll take a shower first.

× 4 I put on makeup politely.
✓ 4 I put on makeup with care.

At first →「最初のところは」（やっているうちに変わるという話に使います）

polite ≠ 丁寧
polite = 礼儀正しい
つまり、politeは「雑」の反対語ではなく「失礼」の反対語です。
ここは教科書や辞書の訳を変えるなり説明を添えるなりしたほうがいいと個人的に思います。双方（英→日、日→英）の学者において勘違いしか生まないから...
