👋🏻Hello guys! It’s time to go back to college. That’s why I bring you some phrasal verbs you’ll probably use this coming semester.
HAND OUT
FALL BEHIND
GO OVER
CATCH UP WITH
My piece of advice for you all:
Do not fall behind (and if you do, try to catch up with everyone else as soon as you can)
Don’t be anxious! Try to go over each topic/ task before you hand in your homework/ tests.
Good luck students!☘️

Are you getting ready to go back to college? In this post, we’ll learn about some SCHOOL SUPPLIES.✂️📏📙🖋🖍
This is one of my favourite times of the year. It means I’m back to work, but it also means I will go to the stationer’s and buy ALL the things I need for my pencil case.
Notebooks are my favourite ones. I love to have one notebook for each new project in my life. I don’t like agendas because I believe each day is different and agendas always bring you the same amount of lines for each day. What about you? Which one do you like the most?
Another school supply that I love and use on a regular basis is the highlighter. Essential! It helps me a lot 😍
What about you? Which are your essential school supplies?

‘English has no future tense,’ learn why in today’s post. 👇🏻
Many experts (grammarians) may say that English has no FUTURE TENSE.🤔 Why so? Because it doesn’t exist a ‘pure future’ in English. That is to say, we do not use inflections to turn a verb into the future tense.
To form the past simple (regular verbs), we used the -ED inflection. Such as in END→ ENDED. But there’s no such thing in English to talk about the future.
To convey the idea of FUTURE in English we employ other ‘resources’. One of them is➡️ GOING TO.⬅️
This structure helps us express a future plan or intention.
As you can see in the examples, we form this FUTURE IDEA using the VERB TO BE + GOING TO+ main VERB.

Howdy, howdy? You cannot imagine how much we’ll learn with these two words today. So, keep reading our post
🇬🇧🏖HOLIDAYS is mostly used in British English to describe a period of time when you are not at school or work, or time you spend travelling or resting away from home.
🇺🇸🏖VACATION is the word Americans use to describe the same thing.
Till this point, things are easy.😎 Unfortunately, here is where everything gets a little more complicated.
🇺🇸The thing is that HOLIDAY is also used in American English, but it refers to a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. That is to say a single day when banks, businesses and schools are close. For instance, Independence Day or Labour Day are public holidays.
🇺🇸While the word ‘HOLIDAYS’ is used in America as well but it refers to the period between November and early January that includes Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. 🌠
🇬🇧Now things get really messy because in British English the word VACATION is also used. It means that universities are officially closed for the students.
Crazy things, right? 🤯I’ve told you you’d learn a lot just from these two words.

Suffixes make all the difference. Learn how in this post. 👇🏻
Suffixes are small syllables attached to a word that may provoke a change in either the meaning or category (noun, adjective, verb, etc) of the original word.
🥵In the example, we see how SUNBURN (noun), the condition of having painful red skin since you’ve spent too much time in the sun, turns into SUNBURNED (adjective)- used to describe the same condition.
For example, ‘Lisa’s shoulders were badly SUNBURNED’ (I’m describing Lisa’s shoulders)
or ‘Learn how to treat a SUNBURN with these home remedies,’- (I’m talking about the condition itself).
Have you ever got sunburned badly?🥵🔥☀ C’mon, don’t be shy and share your summer tragedy with us.

Hey there! Summer vibes all around! I’m absolutely sure you’ll definitely love this post. ❤
I’ve already told you, IDIOMS are my favourite part of learning a language. They make us sound more like a native, and that’s cool!😎
→ TO SOAK UP SOME SUN (=to sunbathe): I’d like to soak up some sun today since it’s going to be rainy tomorrow.
→ THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER (= the hottest days of summer): The dog days of summer are here.
→ TO BEAT THE HEAT (to protect from the heat): Let’s go to the pool to beat the heat.
→ A COLD DAY IN JULY(a very unlikely event will happen, before something else): It’ll be a cold day in July when my team wins the local tournament.
→ TO BE FULL OF HOT AIR (= words that are full of nonsense, lies or exaggerations): Larissa’s words are full of hot air.
Well, well...THE DOGS DAYS OF SUMMER make me feel like I need to SOAK UP SOME SUN before the fall arrives. Do you feel the same way?
What do you do to BEAT THE HEAT these days? 🔥☀
Which idiom is your favourite? Can you use it in a sentence below?👇🏻
I’d love to see your answers.

👋🏻Hey guys! Today we’ll learn how to use these three prepositions: ALONG- AT- ON after the word BEACH
As you’ll see, the use of these three prepositions together with the word 'beach' will change the meaning of what you intend to say. So be careful when you use them!
Let’s see some examples:
1⃣ALONG A/THE ~ Jason walked ALONG the beach every single day of our holidays.
ALONG → from one point to another- it involves movement.
2⃣AT A/THE ~ Marie and Harry we’ll meet AT the beach.
AT→ To express an exact position or concrete place. In this case, it’s used as a point of reference.
3⃣ON A/THE ~ Sara laid ON the beach and read her book.
ON→ To say that one thing is above another one.

👋🏻Hey English lovers! Today I’ve prepared a post with the most frequent uses of the VERB TO BE.
As I’ve told you on a previous post about this verb, I call it “the survival verb” since it always comes in handy and it has many different uses. 🤯
Scroll through till the very last image and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
I’d love to see you practising your English. Leave a comment using the verb TO BE in a sentence. 👇🏻
You can answer one of these questions (or of all them, if you want):
What’s your name? (Introduce someone)
How are you today? (Feelings and emotions)
Where are you from? (Nationality)
How old are you? (Age)
How’s the weather in your town or city today? (The weather)
What do you do? (Job/profession)
As you can see, all of the above questions can be answered using the verb TO BE.
C’mon! I’m sure you can do it!💪🏻
