Are these good for a cause or effect essay, and its based on effect of "Over Training" ?Thanks,

Well, I guess soul mates might be kind of like one person, if there even is such a thing as soul mates. Maybe when people get married, they are like compound words.Anyway, the point is that you cannot call them words. It is okay to call them phrases, I think, but actually the best word it "term."Example:"Mental health" is a term. I like to put terms in " " marks if I am writing the sentence about the term.I care about your mental health. ----In this sentence, I do not use " " marks.I sometimes use the term "mental health." ---In this sentence, I use " " marks because the sentence is about the term.
