Quando estudamos uma nova língua, inevitavelmente a comparamos à nossa. Mas há inúmeros casos em que a simples troca de vocábulos do português para o inglês, não se aplica, sendo essa, uma abordagem nociva. E um equivoco recorrente entre os alunos, é quando querem dizer: mais um dia, mais uma vez, mais uma música, etc. A ordem das palavras no inglês é: one more day, one more time, one more song.

So, thanks to all of you who fill my heart with hope and joy!
And keep up the good work! 😉
