    Good examples Olivia.

    FYI > In your first phrase: I spent all the night is correct, but you can also say I spent all night (deleting the ‘the’) because to spend all night is a set phrase.

    > Although she is a great cook, she made the rookie mistake of leaving❌ letting✅ the caramel burn

    > I would rather go ON to another topic instead of lingering on this dispute

    go on to = continue
