I didn’t get around to studying English last week because of holidays, but now I’m back to learning English every day, slowly but surely!

Tim, can you explain us the differences between “everyday” and “every day”? Thanks so much!
Reply
- timandtammy on January 4, 2017 at 11:17
  
  You used the phrasal verb correctly, Emerson! Good job!
  
  Everyday is an adjective (used before a noun). Every day is an adverb (used after a verb).

Tim, o “get around to” que você ensinou aqui neste podcast tem o mesmo significado comparado com o desse vídeo?

https://youtu.be/u33kLt_zSSU?t=55m14s

Preste atenção depois do minuto 55:15.

Estou achando esse phrasal verb meio complicado de entender… rsrsrs…

Obrigado!

  Olá, Emerson. Não, no caso do vídeo, ele está dizendo que as apostas serão altas quando “chegarmos às” (get around to the) eleições. Ele está usando a forma literal deste phrasal verb. O que ensinamos é a forma idiomática que deriva disso. Quando “chegar a” (alguma tarefa) quer dizer que você finalmente “achou tempo” para fazer.

Podemos dizer então que get around to it é um sinônimo de put off em alguns casos? Ou não?
Reply
- timandtammy on January 17, 2017 at 07:09
  
  I guess we can say that they are related. If you say that you will do something “when you get around to it”, you are probably “putting it off”.

Great teacher Tim. Your podcasts have been help me a lot but I never get around to do this question:
Is correct to say: “I treasure” your podcast classes cuz it´s very important tool to learn english? I treasure this or that or something ?
Thanks!

I finally have been getting around to studying English just about every day! It is a fantastic achievement for me as I can find a progressive improvement of my skills.
It should be taken into account that DomineIngles services have been helping me in providing an excellent source of English materials, such as podcasts and its website.
By the way, I really enjoy when you answer the student’s comments here, that’s a very kind of you. Thanks for your support 🙂

Hi Timmy.

What have you been up to since I last wrote you?

You’ve told us you have left on vacation to visit your homeland. That’s great!

I hope you’ve got around to upload us new English tips.

Nice to see you around,

  Yes, that’s correct. Just one correction: I finally got around to figuring out… (use the gerund after “to”, because this “to” is a preposition).

Hi, Tim. I’m here just to say that I got around to reading the whole Bible five times, in English; twice in spanish and often in Portuguese. It speaks of God’s purpose to bring happiness and to give eternal life to the meek and the righteous ones under the kingdom of Christ very soon. I do hope this to come.
