One of the biggest mistakes Spanish speakers make is translating word by word. English doesn't work like that. It uses collocations: words that naturally go together. For example: ✅ make a decision (not take a decision) ✅ make an effort I need to make an effort to wake up earlier. ✅ do someone a favour Can you do me a favour and check this email? ✅ pay attention Please pay attention to the details. 💡 Native speakers don't choose these combinations because they're logical. They choose them because that's simply how English sounds.😅 ✍️ Mini Challenge Choose the correct option: 1. I usually ___ a shower in the morning. - make - do - take 2. Let me ___ you some advice. - say - tell - give 3. We need to ___ attention to the details. - put - give - pay 👇 Write your answers in the comments. 🚫 No ChatGPT. Trust your English! 💪

Hi community, good night! About this topic, and the discussion of having such a large amount of money by this man, I think it’s a complex question to answer. I mean; having that money by his own merits is not bad for itself. The question could be: should he have imposed limits? Maybe not: just one person possess this power may surprise us, but one thing all of us have in common are the regulations, and if he or anybody applies them correctly, we can not go against. That’s how the world works, and we could appreciate the constant evolution with different eyes, not by trying to remain static for fear of change 🪐
