Sentences - "fancy / to fancy sth" and "get dressed up"
Do you think that she fancies me?Do you fancy the idea to celebrate my birthday?
I am getting dressed up to go to the party.
Can someone give me more examples, please? Thank you.
¡Hola, Jésus! Si quieres la verdad, en los Estados Unidos, no usamos la frase "to fancy." Yo que tu, usaría la frase "to like."
Por ejemplo:
Do you think she likes me?
Would you like to celebrate my birthday with me?
Do you think Bill likes going to the movies?
Sin embargo, uso la palabra "fancy" como un adjetivo.
Por ejemplo:
Her dress is super fancy.
The restaurant we went to last night was fancy.
Por supuesto, hablo inglés Americano. Si quieres aprender inglés de Inglaterra el comentario antes de mío es un buen herramiento.
La frase "dress up" es muy importante.
I got dressed up for the dance last night.
She got dressed up for her date with her boyfriend.
La frase "dress up" significa algo más formal que solo "dress."
Por ejemplo:
I got dressed for school this morning.
Johnathan got dressed to go to track practice.
¡Espero que este sea útil!

Hi Jesús!
When "fancy" is used as a verb, it means to take a liking to something, to formulate a concept of something, or to believe something without absolute certainty. Examples:
"I only fancy watching sports for real gentlemen, such as croquet."
"We fancy having you as our new neighbors."
To get "dressed up" for an event means to wear specific clothing fitting for that event. Normally, this means wearing more formal clothes, but not always. Examples:
"The party will be full of sophisticated millionaires, so we'd better get dressed up for it."
"Make sure that you dress up for your date. You don't want to give her a bad first impression."
I hope these help. As always, keep asking these types of questions =)
