license to, licensed to, driving licence, a certain logic, logical to, think logically, marginal difference, marginal seat, medical practitioner, medical certificate, do a medical, mental issues, mental illness
Check the meanings of the words if you don’t already know them. Check the meanings of the various forms as sometimes they are different. You can check them at Time4english by clicking the words (http://www.time4english.com/aamain/lounge/awl.asp).
