Hoje eu iria ensinar outra maneira de dizer ‘acabar/terminar’, mas estou com meu trabalho atrasado. Então resolvi contar uma piada e ensina-lo a dizer ‘estou com o trabalho atrasado’ em inglês. 🙂

  Answering your question: Usually “homework” is not plural, we just say “homework” or, if you want to use a plural, say “homework assignments”. But you did a great job!

I got behind with the podcasts a lot when I traveled to Chile. But now, after three weeks I am just a little behind with them, I think that one week more I will catch up on them.

    Please, Tim, what does “catch up” mean?

      Depende do context, Adriano; mas, neste caso, significa “colocar em dia”.

“I am behind with my prepare classes work.”
Is this sentence correct?
Thanks, Tim, I enjoyed the joke and the lesson.

Hi Tim!!I have a doubt…is it correct to say:”I’m late with my work?”Or it has another meaning?Thanks!!

  You can say that, too, Nathali. To me, “late with my work” sounds like you didn’t finish your work in/on time, there is a deadline and you are not going to meet it; “behind with my work” means that your work has accumulated, you haven’t done as much work as you should have.

  But sometimes they are synonymous.
