Yes, edu_campos, it's always good to listen to more English and practice more!

Por: Ash em 29/10/2009 às 15:16h

Yeah, Kauton, everyone has to go to the school.

So, Gabriel. You have to learn Spanish. Why?

Por: monicabic em 29/10/2009 às 22:19h

Yes, Ananaria, we have to take care of our planet. Our future depends on it. Thanks for the tip on the film.

Work less to live more. It makes sense! Apenas não entendi a sua última pergunta.

Hi, Lenando, we always say everyday - no plural. And I agree that only with discipline and practice we can reach our goals in life.

Hey, Romu! How's it going? Good job, as always! Quick correction: You have to buy an English book to help her. Abs

The first part of your sentence, Martamaia, is excellent! Well done. I think what you wanted to say in the second part is: "I'm not making it up - it's true!" Em português eu acho que você quis dizer: "não é uma frase inventada - é verdade!" ou algo assim. Só que quando você usa "inventar" nesse contexto, o que você quer dizer em inglês é "to make up something" ou "to make something up", o que quer dizer "inventar". Por exemplo, you can "inventar uma história" - "to make up a story" or "inventar uma desculpa" - "to make up an excuse". Entendeu? I hope you finish your report on time!

Hi there, Martamaia. Good sentence. Let's just make some changes. In English you "dedicate time to doing something" - "doing" is actually a noun here (gerúndio). So anything you dedicate yourself to doing will be in the "-ing" form. You can dedicate more time to exercising. You can dedicate more time to writing letters to your friends. And I agree with you; finding the time to dedicate yourself to doing something is very difficult!

Ok, Debora. I am going to make suggestions to your sentences and I would like you to send them back with correction, all right? Here we go: "people" is plural so you will have to change the indefinite article "a". 2) In English we say "to have to do something". You've used the word "dedicated" as an adjective instead of a verb. Be careful with "you" at the beginning and "my body" at the end. In English when we want to say that we have started something in the past and continue to do it we use the present perfect continuous (have/has been doing something). You only need to say "to exercise". 3) "To need to" and "to have to" follow the same rule. "Times" does not need to be in the plural (it is an uncountable noun and cannot be in the plural). saudavel = healthy. If you no longer want to do something you say "anymore". saude = health.

Let's look at your sentence: "I have to dedicate myself to my English class, pronunciation and writing."

Por: Josh em 18/06/2010 às 12:18h

What a fantastic sentence. But not necessarily a true one. It certainly helps to live in a country whose first language is English when you want to learn English, but it is not absolutely necessary. It looks like you're doing fine with your English so far!

Por: monicabic em 14/07/2010 às 17:31h

Right!
