Have you heard both cases of “victory”? First, I asked, “What did Nick and Rachel do to win the matriarch of the family?” “The matriarch of the family” is a long object – it`s a full bite – so we put it after “winning”. But later I said that the game of mahjong is what Rachel does to win Eleanor in the end. “Eleanor” is just a word, so let`s put it between “win” and “more.” Let`s practice this a little more. In this example, I will use “win over” twice – once with a long object (comes after) and once with a short object (between win and over). Pay attention to them in this example.

But at the end of the movie – spoiler alert! – At the end of the film, Nick again proposes to Rachel with Eleanor`s ring, as a signal that Eleanor has finally given her blessing. What did Nick and Rachel do to win over the matriarch of the family? Rachel sat with Eleanor at a traditional mahjong table and played the traditional board game with her. She also tells Eleanor that she rejects Nick`s marriage proposal because she doesn`t have the support of her family. “Convicting” means finally convincing someone to like you or your idea after that person was initially against it.

There is an outside chance – there is a possibility – that Domino`s will win over the local Italian population. It`s possible they`ll convince Italians to love American pizza delivered to their doorstep. The local population is currently skeptical.

There`s a fun quirk with “winning”, and that`s the placement of the object – either you put the object exactly in the middle – “win me” – or you put it at the end – “win over the locals”. There isn`t really a rule if you put the item in the middle (win it) or at the end (win the nation of pizza lovers), but rather a general guideline. If your objection is only one or two words, you can classify it between “win” and “more.” Win them; convince him; convince them; conquer his family; Convince your boss.
