No, I haven’t heard the phrase. I think that it means “diamonds are girls’ necessity”! 1. “It’s about two hour.” or “It’s about two hours.” ->Which of the two sentences is correct? 2. informal: Where are you from? formal: From where are you? -> Isn't "Where are you from" a formal sentence?

Hi, Minju! It's nice to hear from you again this year. I am looking forward to studying with you again. I hope the answers to your questions here are clear. We can discuss further in our class. See you!

1. “It’s about two hour.” or “It’s about two hours.”
> It's about two hours. (Sorry if I mistyped this sentence)

2. informal: Where are you from?

formal: From where are you?
> Isn't "Where are you from" a formal sentence?

>> For strict rules, prepositions ( ex: from) should be placed before the word it modifies (where), so "Where are you from? (where + from) is considered informal. But since it makes sense and easier to understand, it became common to use.
