New expressions (could you please check out these sentences?)

Tener la posibilidad: To have a shot at -> I would like to have a shot at starting from scratch

1. Intervenir rapidamente: to jump in -> The policeman jumped in when he saw the pickpocket stealing

2. No rendirse -> Hang in there: In spite of the drawbacks, I hang in there. Hang in there is a bit informal and may be more American. "Don't give up" is more formal and very commonly used.

3. Ser abordado: To be addressed: My boss order me 40 tasks per day, I am really addressed The translation is correct, but the example isn't right. También es voz pasiva. The problem/topic/issue was addressed (by me) - El problema/tema/asunto fue abordado (por yo). No lo confundas con desbordado.

4. Forward: I have forwarded this e-mail

5. Elaborar: To come up with: I am working on a new project to come up with a new concept of online purchase

6. Estar preparado: To be groomed: I am groomed for this job vacancy, trust me. Groomed is correct, but it sounds very old fashioned. Simply "I am prepared."

 

It is good that you are learning expressions, since many things we say can not be translated directly. Well done.
