Let’s practice in the no comment section below. Complete this sentence:
I was driving to __________ when a car/jerk was tailgating me.
Hi Tim, Today morning I was driving to the work and a bus was tailgating me 🙁
Dangerous!
Hi, Tim. Não seria mais adequado dizer “May I squeeze by you?” em vez de “Can I squeeze…”? Thanks.
Olá, Marcelo! Técnicamente sim. Mas informalmente a gente usa mais o “Can I…?”
Olá Tim,
Sobre seu podcast de hoje, fiquei intrigado com a palavra “Tailgate” que para mim apareceu como “Engate” “andar engatado”.
Digo isso porque eu nunca tinha visto este termo e acabei pesquisando mais sobre o tema na internet e vi que é muito comum os “Parkings & Tailgates” nos eventos esportivos como o Futebol.
Ficaria muito contente se você pudesse falar mais sobre isso.
Um abraços do seu Grande Fã.
Anderson Camargo
P.s.: Enjoy your travel in the United of States.
Sim, verdade, Anderson. É comum em jogos de futebol (americano).
Talvez o tailgate usado como aviso nas estradas seja uma variante do mesmo termo usado nas empresas. Quando morei nos EUA era bem comum ver dentro da empresas, placas pedindo para ” Prevent the tailgate” , que nada mais é do que aquele ato que um funcionário sem crachá fica muito próximo, quase encostando em alguém, a fim de passar pela porta de entrada. Figuramente falando ele se aproveita do “tail” de alguém e passa pelo gate sem a devida permissão. 🙂
Interesting observation, Anderson! Thank you for sharing it here! It sounds like the expression could have come from something like that.

Hello!!!!
Hi Tim! Maybe you can make some podcasts all in english…because…not make sense all this information in portuguese…i think the process is better all in english…because, we can learn with your pronunciation and formation of phrases…with all in english, we working the listening, pronunciation, vocabulary and after that, read (with phrases) and writting, trainning.
Anyway, just a comment. thanks! I really liked these podcasts…
Ops, writing.
🙂
Thank you for the suggestion, Larissa! Maybe in the near future we can have a separate podcast only in English. This one is to helps learner’s from different levels learn new expressions, vocabulary, and phrases. Think of it as an addition to your studies, not a be–all and end–all.
I was driving to Minas when a truck tailgating me.
And that is a dangerous road, too!
Tim, forget about that kind of tailgating! I’m hitting the road to enjoy a fun-filled tailgate party in a stadium parking lot of a large event to celebrate. I really love tailgating! Tailgate is all about food, friends and atmosphere. Now I’m a tailgater! Tailgate time!(LOL)
Yes, that IS a lot of fun!
