Don't know which one to use? 😕 We are here to help!
·
🤓"i.e." is an abbreviation for the phrase 'id est'. That's Latin for "that is." We use it to restate something previously said to clarify its meaning.
🤓"e.g." is short for exempli gratia, which means "for example." We use it before an item or list of items that serve as examples for the previous statement.

Los modales pueden ser complicados... Sobre todo cuando en español las expresiones se ven iguales 🙃
·
SHOULD is about advice, or making suggestions (sometimes its about likelihood or probability: They should be here by now!)
HAVE TO is about obligation, especially when dictated by an authority.
·
"You ✨should✨ exercise at least 3 times a week."
"You can go for a hike if you'd like, but you ✨don't have to✨."
"You ✨have to✨ follow the law."
·
Si podés reemplazar "tenés que" con "deberías", es mejor utilizar SHOULD👍

ARGHHH 🥴 A veces es difícil saber cuándo usar "in" y cuando usar "on"...
Some examples:
"You can depend ON me!"
"Lots of people drink pumpkin spiced lattes IN September."
"We'll have cake ON your birthday."
"Were you AT Lisa’s party?"

¿Quién más ha probado una "combinación" de las dos? 🤭

"Quite" (1 syllable) /kwaɪt/
"Quiet" (2 syllables) /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt/
"Quit" (1 syllable) /kwɪt/
