  Hello, Marilene! I checked our system and is said you unsubscribed through the link in your e-mail. I already “re-subscribed” you, and I will just go ahead and forward you the next lessons; ok?

Yeah, this can be a good advice. It´s up to you decide follow it or not. Some times is better relax for a while and after go on. When we are so tired often we can commit big mistakes.

  I agree with you, Paulo. Sometimes the best thing is to take a little break, and then pick up again when you have more energy and better concentration.

Olá TIM!

Poderia usar o verbo GET no lugar do TO BE para dizer a frase do post? Por exemplo, estaria correto se eu dissesse: “Don´t stop when you get tired. Stop when you get done” ao invés de “Don’t stop when you’re tired; stop when you’re done.”

Abraço!

  Poderia, mas mudaria um pouco o sentido. Get tired = ficar cansado; are tired = estiver cansado.

    Tim, e quanto ao “Stop when you get done”? Poderia ser usado também para a frase acima ao invés de “Stop when you done”?
    
    Abraço!

      Olá, Marcio. Você usa o “get done” para enfatizar o momento que você termina algo. (Posso falar sobre isso em outro episódio.) Porém, nesta frase aqui é melhor dizer “when you are done” (quando você estiver terminado).

I’m not done studying English yet. Anything better than watching a movie at the end of my day for relaxing and take this opportunity to learn English!

OBS: Tim, What’s correct, “I’m not done…” or “I’ve not done…”? Or the two options are valid?

Thanks and have a good evening!

  Hello, Emerson! It’s “I’m not done”, which is an expression that means “não terminei”. If you say “I haven’t done…”, you are saying “não fiz”.

I think if you are tired you can’t do your task well, whatever it is. You have to rest for a while and start again when you feel better.

Hi Tim.

I will use this phrase to my motivation.

My wife recently spoke to first finish my homework and then rest.
