Sentence #1: She turns to drinking as a way to cope from the problems she encounters and to overcome the difficulties in her life.

Sentence #2: She became promiscuous after discovering her husband was homosexual, therefore she felt that sleeping with other guys would help her with the pain.

--I need help re-wording to make it sound better, especially the second sentence needs some serious work!

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

it sounds very strange for those who are non-native english to extent that s/he has to look for a dictionary to know its definition.

It should be dictionary-related and I don't teach kids swear words, I assure you.

While I was watching the movie Elizabeth I noticed (presumably medieval) usages such as "we are arrived...", "we are come", etc, instead of "we have arrived...", "we have come..." I was wondering if using "have" for all verbs is a relatively recent change, and English used both "to be" and "to have" as past tense auxiliary verbs at some point in the past, as French continues to do (etre and avoir for different verbs.) If so, were the rules similar, using to be for most movement verbs? Were the rules as rigid as in French?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Soo, I'm not the best writer, and I need help XD

"It encourages readers to start paying attention to the surrounding vicinities, and, not because of their ______ problems, for who she or he is as a whole."

Does it even make sense? Should it be worded differently? What word should best describe problems? Help would be appreciated - thanks!
