how can i improve my vocab?
1. Read books, magazines, newspapers, or ... translated manga. Doing so will introduce you to new words AND show you how to use them properly in a sentence.
2. Whatever word you don't know, look it up in a dictionary. (We suggest using Vocabulary.com.)
3. And here is the most important step: Use the words you learn in conversations, essays for school, on Facebook posts, in tweets, in text messages, etc. Nothing helps you remember vocabulary better than actually using the words.
If you want to increase the rate, while you're doing steps 1 and 2, buy a book of vocabulary words or flash cards (or just Google "vocabulary words"), and then continually do step 3.
Good luck!

What is the meaning of "pinched brows"? Thanks!
"Pinched brows" is not a common expression. ("Raised eyebrows" is.) Our guess is that "pinched brows" probably means having a look of displeasure, worry, or anxiety. It would probably look like the picture.

Which is correct? "Have you eaten yet?" Or "Did you eat yet?"
"Have you eaten yet?" is more formal and standard. "Did you eat yet?" is less formal, but it's fine to use with friends and family.
"you made homecoming queen, she made court" what does 'she made court' mean in that sentence? Thanks!
The "court" in that sentence means "homecoming court," which usually includes the king, queen, duke, duchess, etc. So even though she wasn't the homecoming queen, she was the homecoming duchess (or whatever title the school has, e.g., countess, princess).
