      I am feeling great now, Joanice! Thank you for asking.

      And, when you are talking about people’s “defeitos”, weaknesses; so you might ask, “What are your weaknesses?”

    I have one question. When we use “thank you for…” the following verbs have to be in gerund?
    Thank you very much!

    Hi, Tim.

    I have a question today, why didn’t you use ON THE BED instead of IN BED?

      There is no “rule”; it’s just the way we say it – always “in bed”.

    “My cousin was in bed with PMT.”

    Is that correct, Tim?

    Bom dia professor. Estou acompanhando tudo que posso, às 100 palavras, os Phrasal Verbs mas são os 2 tópicos? Se tiver mais alguma coisa eu não queria perder nada. Moro em Itatiba, aqui do lado de Jundiaí. Parabéns pelo trabalho. Rogério.

      Olá, Rogério. Sim, as 100 palavras são para o inglês básico. Os phrasal verbs, mais avançado.
