Come and Go: Como uso em inglês?

Excelente explicação. Mas na frase “Dr. Craig is in a meeting at 3:00.”
Não seria “until” ao invés de “at”?

Muito bom, me ajudou bastante

Olá!
Gostaria de tirar uma duvida…
Quando alguem bata na porta, em portugues dizemos “Pode entrar!!”

Em ingles o que é comum dizer?
“Come in??”‘

Thanks a lot

Mais um exemplo muito comum no dia-a-dia (ou seja, vemos muito em filmes/seriados) para adicionar ao post da Iramaia:

situação: uma ou mais pessoas estão comentando sobre algum lugar onde elas vão mais tarde, e há uma outra pessoa junto que não está incluida no grupo que vai ao lugar. Alguém vira pra ela e pergunta

– Do you wanna come with us? / Do you wanna come with me?

ou a forma abreviada, muito comum na conversa informal,

– Do you wanna come with?
(sem o “us” ou “me”)

Em português geralmente dizemos “Quer ir também?” ou “Quer ir junto?”

Se vc já tem compreensão suficiente pra acompanhar um filme com legenda, etc… comece a reparar nisso e não deixe de usar filmes e seriados pra fazer seu inglês decolar

Ernane – use essa “regra” só como referência – de agora em diante quando vc ouvir ou ler inglês, repare no uso de come e go, que assim vc vai absorvendo.

I have found it very strange to say ‘I’m coming to visit you next month’ but if it is the grammar’s rule it is ok.

Hello Ana.

Thanks! Very useful this post!

ATENCIOSAMENTE,

Hi Ana,
It was really helpful… but, just one more question: In the sentence bellow, what is more appropriated “Come” or “go”?

During a conversation by the phone, a friend of mine said to me:

“Ela disse que vai te visitar mês que vem, é verdade?”

Thank you for your lessons. It has been very useful.

My answers below:

Hi Ann. This is Silvia. I’m at Lizzy’s party. Why don’t you come? (Silvia is at Lizzy’s party and Ann is away. Silvia wants Silvia to meet her at this party, in other words, Ann might go toward Silvia, thus we should use COME instead GO).

There’s a good movie on at The Plaza. Why don’t we go?
(Plaza is so far from WE and is the third object in the sentence, then we should use GO in it.)
We want to go home now. It’s late. (GO is used by the same explanation above).
I need to go to the dentist’s. (Dentist is away and GO is used here by the same cause above, too).

I enjoyed this matter a lot. I await for the answers.

My congratulations!

I want to change these senteces:

There’s a good movie on at The Plaza. Why don’t we go there?
We want to go home now. It’s late.

I guess it is because the place is far from me and also far from the person I am talking with.

Hi there. As usual it was a great lesson.
Could you please check my answers and let me know whether I understood or not. Thank you a lot.
