   I´m not coming to gym today because I´m going to dentist.

   Is it right Tim?

   Thank you very much!

     Yes, Emerson, if you are writing to your gym instructor. However, If you are writing to me, you would simply say, “I’m not going to the gymn today…”, because I am not there, either.

     One more thing: you “go to the dentist” (with “the”).

   Hello, Tim…
   Every place we have to use “to the” or only “to”? For exemple: I’m not coming to the college today… or I’m not coming to college…/ I’m not coming to hospital or I’m not coming to the hospital…? I’m not coming to home/ I’m not coming to the home… I never know when we use only “to” or “to the”. What is the difference? Thank you very much.

     Thank you for your question. I think I will have to do a mini-podcast about that one, Valéria.

   Tim: from the Free Dictionary: It was a shame you couldn’t come with us.

   hi tim! and if my teacher is not at the english schooll? For exemple, I have english classes by the skype, not personaly, so should I say “Im not coming or Im not going to the class?”
   On more thing: is there other way to say “cancelar a aula”, without to use “cancel”?

     Hello, Gina! In that case, I would probably say “I won’t be able to have class today”. Para cancelar, existe o “call off”, mas pode usar o “cancel” mesmo.
