He fell asleep = ele adormeceu (começou a dormir) He slept = ele dormiu (ou seja q tava dormindo)

Hi Lucas Both are verbs that refer to, let's say, the process in which the body sleeps / goes to sleep. If you want to focus on the fact that you sleep, you use the verb 'to sleep'. E.g. I sleep eight hours per night. If you focus on the 'process', then you use 'to fall asleep' E.g.: I always fall asleep when I'm watching a movie on television. Here, it's withouth the intention of sleeping, the process of falling asleep just happens: it's not intentional. Regards Karen
