Learning English is also about understanding everyday gestures and actions. 👋
In English, different physical actions have different expressions:
🤝 Holding hands – when two people hold each other’s hands while walking or standing.
💪 Holding someone’s arm – when one person holds the other person’s arm, usually near the elbow.
These small vocabulary differences help you describe real-life situations more accurately in English.
“මම ඔයාව හොයාගෙන එන්නයි හිටියේ”
✅ I was just about to come looking for you.
This sentence is perfect when you were planning to meet someone or find them, and suddenly you see them! 👀
Sometimes we know a sentence in Sinhala, but we don’t know how to say it naturally in English. 🤔
In this reel, you’ll learn how to correctly say:
👉 “ඇය අද නිවාඩු.”
Many learners confuse these four words! 👇
🔹 Fraud/ වංචාව – the crime of cheating someone for money or personal gain.

🔹 Fraudulently/ වංචනික ලෙස – in a dishonest way.

Notice the clear “FRAW-dyoo” sound in fraudulent and fraudulently.
Small pronunciation mistakes can change how professional your English sounds 🎯

Afraid of vs Feared of — Don’t mix them up! ❌✅
