How about you? What do you do on “All Souls’ Day” in Brazil? (Tell us about it in the comments section below.)
I , usually , in All Soul’s, day stay at home and rest, because i hate to travel in a traffic jam ways.
I like to stay home, too, Lucia. I’m a real homebody.
Hello Tim! On the All Souls’ Day, my brothers and I visited my parents in the cemetery. We prayed and cleaned the headstone and put flowers in the vases.
I am sure it was an emotional time, Denis. Thank you for writing about it here.
I usually rest and go out with my famile or friends.
That’s what I usually do on holidays, too, Jean.
In all soul’s day I rest with my family in our home.
It’s so good to have a day to rest!
The All Souls’ Day is not my favorite holiday. I usually stay at home or something like this. This year I stayed at home and worked a lot.
It’s not my favorite holiday, either. I prefer Christmas. 🙂
I’ve rested in my house… Slept so much! And, of course, I’ve studied English extensively!
Good for you, Emerson! Always finding time to study! (Observation: You used the Present Perfect because you wrote this DURING the same day (you were still enjoying the holiday); correct? If you were writing about the past (like yesterday, for example), then you would have to use the Simple Past.
Tim, thanks for your correction. I’ve committed a little mistake!
The road to success is paved with failure! 🙂
Actually, it wouldn’t be wrong if you wrote this ON THE SAME DAY you experienced this. So, if it were Monday afternoon or evening when you wrote this, your sentences (in the Present Perfect) would be perfectly correct. If it were the next day, then you would have to use the Simple Past.
Ok, I understood Tim.
I’ll try to remember of this to avoid that error and, of course, practice a lot!
Thanks once again!
On the all souls’ day my husband and I visited my grandparents and aunts in Orlândia.
Vovô Antonio and Vovó Ruth? 🙂 How are they doing?
They are fine, but grandfather is a few stubborn…rs
Yes, he can be at times; but we love him anyway; don’t we? 🙂
yes, of course!
Please Tim, could you please tell me if I can say ” COULD I TRY ON THIS SHIRT” AND “COULD I TRY ON THIS WINE” or at the second case I should say ” could I try this wine” without “on”?
The second case without “on”. You only “try on” clothes.
I stayed at home with my wife. I spent some time watching several series and studied English, too.
Sounds like a great program, Rodrigo!
Sure, because I believe God sent his son to give us life, the death was defeated through Jesus’s cross. When someone died and I know that the person believe in Jesus, “eu fico em paz – como dizer isso em inglês?”. The death is the biggest “medidor” of faith. Como dizer “medidor” em relação à fé Tim?
Bye
Hello, Rodrigo. You can say “I am at peace.” I am not sure exactly what you mean by death beinga “medidor da fé”; but if I understood correctly, it would be that “a gauge of faith”.
Thank you Tim. Quis dizer que a morte é muito difícil ser aceita. Paulo fala em Atos “Mas em nada tenho a minha vida por preciosa, contanto que cumpra com alegria a minha carreira, e o ministério que recebi do Senhor Jesus, para dar testemunho do evangelho da graça de Deus”, a morte pra ele era lucro, a Fé dele era muito grande, a medida da Fé dele ultrapassava a questão da morte….undestand?
abraços
Oh, I see. You were saying that one’s attitude towards death is the greatest gauge/test of one’s faith.
Tim, on Soul’s days I sometimes travel but I don’t like too much at this day. I never go to cemnitery because there is a lot of people. I prefer to go there in other date. It is better to pay homage to my death relatives. Normally I use to stay at home and rest.
Thank the Lord I have no relative buried here in Brazil; and if I did, I wouldn’t go to the cemetery this day, either.
Hi Tim…
I Stay at home with my wife, and after we Watch a movie.
Sounds like a good plan! 🙂
Dear Tim,
Beyond English, I wanna begin to study spanish too. Do you have a friend of yours who is Spanish´Teacher? Maybe i member from your church! I seek some method like yours whose I can study any time. I have no time for regular classes!
Thanks Tim! God bless you!
I have a friend who teaches Spanish, Paulo; but I don’t know anyone who teaches online, unfortunately.
Hi Tim, thanks for sharing this with us, it’s always good to drink some knowledge in! (Did I use the phrasal verb correctly?)
I used to go to the cemetery with my mom but I no longer do this. I believe we always will carry the loved one in our hearts, so I find that we don’t need to go there to think back to them.
Hi, Galon. You are right. We always carry them in our hearts.
About “drink in”, it’s usually used for things we look at, listen to, feel, or smell in order to enjoy them. So it’s more common to use it with sentences like:
She just sat there, drinking in the atmosphere.
Let’s stop for a moment and drink in this fresh mountain air.
I’m glad I was able to drink in the excitement and joy of our wedding day before it was all over.
Terry and Amy drove up to the top of the hill to drink the sights in. They drank in the beautiful view.
The mother drinks in every word of her son on the stage.
She stood drinking in the glittering view.
Did you get the idea?
