It was out of the (ordinary/normality), ordinary - 'out of the ordinary' is the standard phrase in English, I don't want (she travel/her to travel), her to travel - What comes after 'want' is going to be an object (for example, I want beer - 'beer' is the object). So, if we use a pronoun, it should be an object pronoun (her), not a subject pronoun (she)., They have some (fear/afraid), fear - fear is a noun (although it can also be a verb). Afraid is an adjective. So you can be afraid, but you can't have afraid - just like you can be happy, but you can't have happy. , We stopped (working/to work) when we lost power, working - after stop, we use an -ing verb if we mean to say we no longer do something. In this case, the power was lost, so the people no longer worked. We use an infinitive (to+verb) after stop to say we stopped a prior action to begin a new action. For example, 'I was writing but I stopped to eat' (here I'm eating, and I stopped the prior action, writing), I felt a lot of (anxiety/nervousism), anxiety - nervousism isn't a word in English. You can use 'nervousness', although anxiety is more common. , People (is/are) irrational. , are - 'people' is plural, 'person' is singular. People are irrational, but a person is irrational . , The war in Iran might cause a (fuel crisis/crisis for fuel), fuel crisis - in this case, we can make a compound noun with 'fuel crisis'. In English, it's common to use a noun like an adjective when you're making a compound noun, I don't (feel/feel myself) part of the family. , feel - 'feel' usually isn't reflexive in English unless you're literally touching yourself, or when you're describing how you became , In (comparison/comparation) to last week, this week is much better, comparison - comparation is a word in English, but it's very rare and you won't find it used outside of very, very old book, I (have/'m) hungry right now, 'm - in Spanish we say 'tengo hambre' - but in English, hungry is an adjective. So we say 'I'm hungry', I (have jealousy/feel jealous) right now, feel jealous - there's nothing grammatically wrong with 'have jealousy', but it doesn't sound idiomatic in English. Feel jealous, be jealous, etc. are more natural., I love (being/be) alone, being - when you have two verbs next to each other, it's standard for the second verb to either in the -ing or in the infinitive. Love is one of the few verbs where you can use both, but it's more common to use -ing, They decided to be (a couple/boyfriends), a couple - boyfriends might work if they were a gay couple (since they would both be boyfriends), but if it's a mixed gender couple, or you don't want to specify their gender, 'a couple' works better..
