Assistir um filme ou assistir uma série?

Ainda que gosto de cinema e filmes, eu mais frequentemente assito (assisto) séries televisivas. Eu estudo três idiomas e, do punto (ponto) de vista prático, é mais útil assistir séries televisivas para ampliar o meu vocabolário. Um filme é curto, mas uma série tem muitos episódios e o vocabolário (vocabulário) se repete.
Assistindo uma série, eu relaxo, me divirto e, ao mesmo tempo, deste modo aprendo palavras novas no jeito fácil. Também, isto é muito útil para melhorar a minha escuta.

*Onde*: Indica lugar em que algo ou alguém está, deve ser utilizado somente para substituir vocábulo que expressa a ideia de lugar. • Não sei onde fica a cidade de São Paulo. *Aonde*: Expressa a ideia de destino, movimento, conforme exemplos a seguir: • Aonde você irá depois das visitas? Para deixar mais clara e objetiva a diferença entre o uso de “onde” e “aonde”, apresento mais exemplos: • “Aonde você vai?” Neste caso há o sentido de destino, expresso pelo verbo ir. • “Onde você mora?” Nesta frase o significado expressa a ideia de local fixo, moradia, justificando o uso do advérbio onde. Espero que tenha ajudado, qualquer dúvida estou a disposição.

1. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct your mistakes when they hear you make them. 2. Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is through speaking. 3. Practise every day. Make yourself a study plan. Decide how much time a week you are going to spend studying and stick to it. Establish a routine. 4. Tell your family and friends about your study plan. Get them to push you to study and also don’t let them interrupt you. 5. Practise the 4 core skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. They all need to be worked on for you to improve. 6. Keep a notebook of new words you learn. Use them in sentences and try to say them at least 3 times when you speak. 7. Visit EC’s free learn English website at least once a day and complete a lesson. 8. Memorisation of lists is one of the most common ways of learning vocabulary for a test. It's only a good exercise for short term studying because you often do not retain the information that you have learned for a test. 9. Use your body clock. If you’re not a morning person, study in the afternoon. 10. You will find words easier to remember if you try to remember an example sentence using that word rather the word on its own.

Prima donna from Italian words meaning "first woman" or "first lady", depending on your preference, the prima donna is the leading lady in a performance, and especially in opera. Can also be called a diva. Is now often used to describe someone arrogant, vain, or just plain bitchy. Diva and prima donna have become synonomous with a show-off or a bitch, regardless of whether or not the person in question is male or female. In the music the meaning is diva, and He is saying that there were (no prima donna/no diva). No one diva is dancing with him. So for me it could be two things, or he is dacing with a girl that is not a good girl, or he is dancing with a "Mathild" that is a type of bag (I think), that is used to go to a road and walk with that thing in your back.

"Ter" means to have and "haver" means there is / there are, to exist, so at first it seems that they wouldn’t be interchangeable, but in fact, they are. "Haver", there is /there are, is an impersonal verb, that is, it is used without a subject. Here are some examples: Há um aluno novo na nossa classe. There is a new student in our class. Note that "haver" has no plural because it is not conjugated as a regular verb: Há três alunos estrangeiros na nossa classe. There are three foreign students in our class. "Ter", to have, is an irregular verb conjugated: eu tenho/I have, você tem/you have, ele-ela tem/he-she has, nós temos /we have, vocês têm/you have, eles-elas têm/they have in the present. Eu tenho duas irmãs. I have two sisters. Eles não têm paciência. They have no patience. Você tem meu número de telefone? Do you have my phone number? In informal, spoken Portuguese "ter" often replaces "haver". Here are some examples: Há ovos na geladeira? Are there eggs in the refrigerator? Informal: Tem ovos na geladeira? Há muitos turistas no Rio. There are many tourists in Rio. Informal: Tem muitos turistas no Rio. It’s important to note that when "ter" replaces "haver" to mean there is/there are it becomes an impersonal verb too, so it is used in the third person singular without a subject. "Haver" cannot replace "ter" when "ter" is being conjugated with a subject, when it conveys possession or in other idiomatic expressions. Look at these examples: Nós não temos tempo para estudar. We have no time to study. Que carro você tem? What car do you have? Eu tenho vinte anos. I’m twenty years old. Ter and haver are also used as auxiliary verbs followed by the past participle of a verb to express an action in the past that happened before another action in the past, corresponding to the English past perfect tense. In this case, there’s virtually no difference in meaning and both are used in either formal or informal situations. I hope this helps!

Hi Sonia. The first one is correct! Definition I sure will!: Certainly I will! Of course I will! Example "Trey : I sure will Miss DeLune." The second one is more comon in this way. Definition I will SURELY do!: I will certainly do! Of course I will do that! Example "Jane: Yes, I will surely do that." "My classmates will surely do better" "They will surely do so again" I hope that can help you!
