Bookmark or Share- to spend ages / time doing sth (gerund) | WordReference ForumsI see it this way: you spend time doing something; the focus in on the action. If you say 'to get all the documents', it is purpose (no 'consiguiendo todos los documentos que necesitaba' como antes, sino 'para conseguirlos').
- 'People in all ages', 'people at all ages' and 'people of all ages ...So: 'people at all ages' is the different one: ' people at all ages want to be loved'. I tend to think that 'people in all ages' is a bigger statement - that is, people in all ages (over world history) have searched for love.
- people of all ages vs. people at any age | WordReference ForumsThe original phrase, people of all ages, has a different meaning. It conjures up a picture of a happy family of parents, grandparents and children, all sitting around the board game, having fun together.
- All suggestions are welcome/welcomed - WordReference ForumsPeople will understand that "All welcome" means "all are welcome." I'd probably omit "all" and just write "welcome" if I needed that word for some reason. I don't think "all welcome" is any catchier than "welcome." If I wanted to make it clear that absolutely all people are welcome, I'd probably write this: Everybody is welcome.
- down through the ages | WordReference ForumsCould you please explain the meaning of the phrase "down through the ages" in this sentence: "That’s probably why the ‘spiritual elders’, the sages and saints, and the ones who have created a legacy of spiritual wisdom down through the ages both practiced and taught some form of meditation." Thank you so much!
