Make vs do 

You make cookies. You do crafts and homework.

You make friends. You do sports.

 





False friends

• embarazada – not embarrassed but pregnant
• molestar – not molest but bother
• bombero – not bomber but firefighter
• constipado - not constipated but congested

People ARE  or people IS ?

Third person 's'
She think. He eat.







I have 27 years.  
Do you? Are they in your pocket? Can you show them to me?







I am agree
Really? I am a human.






Lose vs miss

        If you lose something in English, it means you can’t find it.

        If you miss something, it means the opportunity is gone 
            OR that its (the person's) absence makes you sad.

        You missed a train, you didn't lose the train.
