But this made me think…
How do you say “bottle of wine”? I asked.
“botella de vino” they said.
And how do you say “wine bottle”?
“botella de vino, it’s the same”.
I smiled, because for English speakers they are not the same…
If you know the difference write to us. We will publish the best answer next week.
This week’s 3 tips:
Something to avoid 🫣
🤦🏻♀️ “I am used to do it”
If you want to say that you are accustomed to something, then you must use either a noun or gerund (doing). You cannot use an infinitive (to do) here!
✅ “I am used to doing it”
You could also say, “I am used to it” (using the pronoun “it”). But the important thing is that when you use a verb here, it must end in “-ing”.
Remember that a noun or a gerund function in the same way.
She is used to the weather – noun
She is used to working on Saturdays – gerund
Something to sound confident 🧐
👔 Business jargon explained
“Win-win”
A situation in which both parties benefit.
Working from home can be a win-win for both employers and employees
Something silly 😅
