KEEP IN YOUR MIND: When Sylvia travels, she can keep up with her work by using a laptop computer. She keeps in touch with her coworkers through email. (idiom: keep in touch = email, write, call; communicate) The people in the audience couldn't keep themselves from laughing as they listened to the comedian perform his act. Mother kangaroos keep their babies in a pouch on their stomach) She keeps going out with her boyfriend even though he isn't very nice to her. ("Keep" is often followed by a gerund. In this case, the gerund is "going out.") Many Americans keep using credit cards to make purchases even though this habit can cause financial problems later. Sue had been keeping her cell phone in her purse, but now she keeps it in her front pocket. A:Where does he keep his money? B: He keeps it in a piggy bank. It was being kept in a bank, but then he decided to keep it at home. Some expressions that use the word KEEPKeep your fingers crossed. (Hope for something good to happen) Keep your shirt on. (Wait.) Keep me posted. (Let me know what's happening.) Keep it to yourself. (Don't say anything to anyone else.) Keep quiet. (Be quiet.)

Para Rita memorizar:- Meses do Ano - Dias da Semana- Numeros de 1 a 20 (Para recordar Vila Sesamo) - Neste video a moca fala demais, eu acho. Muita explicacao confunde a cabeca, principalmente de quem e iniciante. Mas e uma boa maneira de se conhecer a pronuncia americana. Agora todos juntos, contando direto de 1 a 100, ok?Muitas pessoas ja comentaram comigo que quando viajaram, nao entenderam nada do que a pessoa que as atendiam falavam. Entao estude este este video. Uma pessoa pedindo no McDonald's. Mc e o vendedor, YOU e voce. Nem todos irao dizer as frases completas, mas se vc entender uma palavra, ja sabe sobre o
q estao falando. Por exemplo: - ORDER e o que se pede, o verbo e TO ORDER.- MEAL e refeicao, entao vc imagina que seja um daqueles combinados (ou combos, como as pessoas gostam de usar agora)- Voce so quer um sanduiche e uma coca pequena. Dai o JUST que e para so, somente, apenas..(neste caso) - HERE voce sabe que e aqui, GO e ir, entao voce depreende que HERE OR TO GO quer dizer "vai comer agora ou levar pra viagem?"- Essas palavrinhas agora sao bem reconheciveis: CARD, CREDIT, DEBIT. nem vou lhe envergonhar traduzindo.- Se voce ja comeu no McDonald's sabe que voce e quem passa/introduz o cartao.

Morrer de fome nao vai...Rsss
Using way in another wayThe meaning you probably know already for "way" is direction, path, or method. But you can also use it in place of "very." Be careful. Using "way" for very is popular for young people; however, if older people try doing this, it sounds a little funny. Here are some examples:This song is way cool. She's way hot. (good looking) She's way too hot for you. This Thai food is way awesome! Portuguese is way too hard to learn. Do you know when to use To and when to use FOR? No? Let's see if i can help you. (Suggested by Ivancleber) TO VERBS I gave a present to him. = I gave him a present.Ill show the figures to you. = Ill show you the figures.He sold a car to me. = He sold me a car.He sent a letter to Mary. = He sent Mary a letter.Can you lend this book to me? = Can you lend me this book?The boss told a joke to us. = The boss told us a joke.Who teaches English to them? = Who teaches them English?I paid $10 to the repairman. = I paid the repairman $10.Will you pass the sugar to me? = Will you pass me the sugar?Read a story to the children. = Read the children a story.I wrote a letter to my friend. = I wrote my friend a letter.Hand that book to me, please. = Hand me that book, please.He offered a job to Mary. = He offered Mary a job.He'll bring something to me. = He'll bring me something.She sang a lullaby to the baby. = She sang the baby a lullaby.I'll throw the ball to you. = I'll throw you the ball.FOR VERBS Let me buy a present for you. = Let me buy you a present.I got some food for you. = I got you some food.She made a sandwich for me. = She made me a sandwich.Did she cook dinner for you? = Did she cook you dinner?Can you do a favor for me? = Can you do me a favor?He can find a job for you. = He can find you a job.He left a message for you. = He left you a message.Shall I pour more tea for you? = Shall I pour you more tea?Reserve hotel rooms for us. = Reserve us hotel rooms.Save the stamps for him. = Save him the stamps. It may not be very clear, sometimes, considering that in Portuguese we only use PARA. The tip I have for you guys is that whenever you canto ask "what's the reason/purpose?", you use FOR.EX: I wrote an example for my readers. (What's the reason I wrote the example? My readers!)
