Hi Tim,

I have two questions.

1) Can I use the phrasal verb “go about” for both formal and informal situation?

2) Do the phrasal verb “go about” has the same meaning of “proceed” ?

  Hello, Nilton! You can use “go about” whenever you want to :-), but usually we use it in situations where you are asking about a certain way/approach of doing something, and those situations tend to be a little more formal. Examples: How should I go about researching this topic? Would you tell me how to go about it?
  
  Yes, “go about” can be translated as “proceed” sometimes, but it depends on the context. The second sentence above “Would you tell me how to go about it?” might be translated as “como proceder”; but in the first sentence, you would probably translate it a little differently.

Tim, na frase “to go about it” o som do “t” final em “it” pode ser omitido quando se prouncia rapidamente?
Reply
- timandtammy on October 6, 2015 at 21:42
  
  É o que chamamos de “unreleased” T, Hugo; prendemos o T, o som não é “solto” (terminado) no final.

Tim, Listening to the podcast about 3:17 to forward you say we can’t say How should I go about ……. and so you must to say in this case How should I do. But I am little lost because the fourth example phrase you wrote: “How do/should/can you go about getting a visa? Could you help me. Thanks.
Reply
- timandtammy on October 8, 2015 at 19:12
  
  Hello, José Luiz! I said you don’t say “WHAT should I go about” (not HOW).
  O que devo fazer? = What should I do?
  Como “devo fazer/eu faço” para conseguir um visto? = How should/can/do I go about getting a visa?
