Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Usage"
The meaning of "Usage" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
What does Please teach me the usage of "carry around with", can it to link with abstract nouns? Such as "carry around with the name" mean?
A:
It usually refers to a person bringing something with them to various places.
For example:
"I always carry my phone around with me"
"She bought an unbelievably expensive designer purse, which she was proud to carry around with her everywhere she went."
I cannot think of an instance in which it is used with an abstract noun. The sentence you are wondering about sounds bizarre and is incomprehensible to me. A sentence like "He carries our name around with him" is possible, but it would be a metaphorical sentence; and by "our name" it would refer to our reputation.

"Bts is blessing the AGT stage next Wednesday."

A:
The word 'bless' stems from religion- "I am blessed by God" would mean that God looks favourably upon you. But instead of God, it has been appropriated to be used for anyone people deem to be extraordinary or that have God-like power e.g. "my teacher blessed me with good grades".

Example sentences using "Usage"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with The usage of "as be".
A:
This is a great question! I have never thought about this before. :)
“As is” is a normal way to point out the similarity between two things. Your sentence with “as is my brother” is very natural.
Some more examples:
“That is a great story, as is this one.”
“Your dog is brown, as is mine.”
The meaning is the same as “so is,” but the two phrases are written a little differently, because “so” and “as” are different types of words. If you say “so is,” you must first say “and.” The phrase “and so is” is more commonly used than the phrase “as is.”
Examples:
“I am a boy, and so is my brother.”
“That is a great story, and so is this one.”
“Your dog is brown, and so is mine.”
I hope this helps! :)

Q:
Please show me example sentences with
please give me some usage of "Be". Ex: what is the difference between "Might" and "might be". And behind "might be" is gerund or bare infinitive. Thank you all <3.
please give me some usage of "Be". Ex: what is the difference between "Might" and "might be". And behind "might be" is gerund or bare infinitive. Thank you all <3.
A:
You are really saying the same thing. Might + be is no different that Might + be + (gerund/noun). Might is usually followed by a base verb (I might go, I might be, I might say). So your question really is "what follows a base verb", because "might be" is just "might" followed by a base verb. The answer is gerund/noun/adjective
"I might go to the moon" = "I might be going to the moon". Examples of noun/adjective-"I might be sick, "I might be President".
"I might go to the moon" = "I might be going to the moon". Examples of noun/adjective-"I might be sick, "I might be President".
