“Oversleep” é perder a hora quando você não escuta o alarme e acaba dormindo demais; mas e quando você “perde a hora” por outras razões – porque ficou distraído com a leitura, ou limpando a casa, ou fazendo a sua lição de inglês…? 🙂 Daí usa-se outra expressão. É a mesma expressão usada para se dizer “perder a noção do tempo” em inglês. Vamos aprender a dizer isso no mini-podcast de hoje!

LET’S PRACTICE! Tell me below about a time that you “lost track of time”, like this: I was ______________ing ________ , and I completely lost track of time.
Hi, Tim!
I love to play videogames, it’s my preferred hobby. So, almost always I lose track of time and when I have noticed, is too late.
Have a great day!
Bye for now,
Emerson
I know how it is, Emerson! I used to get carried away playing video games, too!

Hi Tim!
Eu infelizmente não recebi a lição 47 no meu e-mail.
Sorry, Roni, eu errei o número e sem querer pulei o 47. 🙂
In my last trip I lost track of time “at” Duty Free and almost I lost my flight. Tim, here I put “at” because I’ve learned I must put “at” when you are in a definite point. Is this correct? As you know, prepositions are some of the difficulties for many English learners. So if you agree I would like to make a suggestion, in other words, in some podcasts could you teach us about them? Thanks again.
Yes, you can use “at” here, José Luiz. Thank you for the tip! We’ll do that!
Tim, Just to collaborate, I notice you that in the subject of email you have sent us, you have put Unit 48 for this podcast and it is Unit 47. Have a nice weekend.
My bad, José Luiz. I accidentally skipped a number. Thank you for pointing that out.
Ah this is easy happening to me! Every time I open my e-mail to study your podcast I certainly lose track of time, so, I need to do it just after lunch, to avoid some burnt food kkkkk
I have a better idea! Here’s a good motto for you: No English, no lunch! 🙂
You are welcome.
Please Tim,
I was in Boston and I got to the class late, so I said: Sorry teacher I´m late.
He corrected me, no, Gabriela Say, I´m running late. I got confused.
It’s perfectly ok to say “Sorry I’m late” when you arrive late, Gabriela. Are you sure it wasn’t in another context that he corrected you in? “To run late” is when you are behind schedule or you will *likely* (provavelmente) be late.
Hello Tim! what’s up? I generally lose track of time studying english on internet, especially on “Domineingles”… 🙂 Thank you. (By the way, go visit “Rattlesnake City”, you’ll love it…). Best regards!
I’d love to visit “Rattlesnake City” someday, Gentlemen – as long as we stay away from the rattlesnakes! 🙂
Dear Teacher,
I was talking with my son on the phone and I completely lost track of time.
