“Escute as frases novamente e repita várias vezes até dominar a pronúncia.”
*Simples e objetivo, sem ser repetitivo demais.
*(bastantes não há plural, o correto é sem o S)
Corrianne:
“It’s already a quarter of four”
Is that ‘to’ or ‘past’? We never use ‘of’ in time like that.
We’d say, “…a quarter to four” or “…a quarter past four.”
Érica:
Milena, vc está equivocada.
Existe plural para a palavra “bastante”, sim.
Só não é utilizado corriqueiramente. 🙂
