❶) Thanks, God! ✓
❷) Thanks God! ✗
❸) Thank God for that! ✓
❹) Thanks God for that! ✗
❺) Thanks to Allah for saving me! ✓
❻) Thank to Allah for saving me!✗
📗What we are missing in ❷) is a punctuation mark after the interjection ‘thanks.’ We need to add a comma.
📔An interjection is a word (yes, hey, gosh) or short phrase (oh my, my goodness) that expresses some emotion and is not grammatically related to the sentence that follows. The interjection is followed by an exclamation point for strong emotions (Wow! I won the lottery!) and a comma for a weaker emotion (Wow, that is news to me.).
Well I am not so sure about that. ✗
Well, I am not so sure about that. ✓
No I did not take out the trash. ✗
No, I did not take out the trash. ✓
Aw that kitten is cute. ✗
Aw, that kitten is cute. ✓
📙Now, let's talk about ❹). It's incorrect because the expression that we use is ‘thank God/goodness/heavens,’ not ‘thankS God/heaven/goodness. It is used to show that you are very glad about something.
Thank God that’s over! I’ve never been so nervous in my life!
Only ten miles to go. Thank heavens for that!
📘The problem with ❻) is we say ‘thanks to somebody/something’ rather than ‘thank to somebody/something.

Thanks heaps, friends! The correct answer is: 2) obtained
‘Get’ is not usually used in passive sentences.
Note: Do not confuse it with get-passives.

Thank you, friends! ‘Are’ is the correct option.
Verbs like ‘seem’ take adjective phrases as complement, but not participial clauses. They can therefore substitute for ‘be’ in (2), but not in (1):
(1) They are entertaining the prime minister and her husband. ✓
They seem entertaining the prime minister and her husband. ✗
(2) The show was/seemed entertaining. ✓

Thankful/Grateful/Appreciative
📗These words all indicate warm feelings or expressions of gratitude. Grateful and thankful are close in meaning, but one distinction is commonly observed in that grateful is used to describe our feelings of gratitude to another person, and thankful refers to similar feelings towards divine providence, fate, or some less immediate agency. One is grateful for a gift or a kind word, but thankful for good health or fair weather.
📓Appreciative, more than the other two words, indicates a demonstration of the gratitude a person feels: a secretary who was so appreciative of the opportunity for advancement offered to her that she worked overtime even when not asked to do so.

💎Chew vs Masticate💎
📗Chew and masticate are synonymous in designating a crushing or grinding with the teeth. The difference between the two words is that masticate, in addition to being more formal than chew, is said only in reference to food that is swallowed after the crushing or grinding action. One speaks, for example, of chewing gum but never of masticating it.
