Today I’d like to talk about a basic element of English grammar. Unlike what happens in some other languages, in English, the verb needs to change depending on the subject of the sentence. English teachers refer to this as Subject and verb agreement. For today’s English lesson, let’s check this out. Here are the example sentences. I go, he goes. I work, she works. I play, The orchestra plays. I like pizza. You like you. He likes pizza. She likes pizza. If you know anyone who has trouble with this English language point, why not help them out! Just share this lesson with them. Thanks for studying today!

Money, bucks and dough E ai, como se fala dinheiro em inglês? Existem também outras maneiras para se referir ao dinheiro em inglês Bucks - pode substituir "dollar" Não se esqueça que os americanos usam virgula para separar milhares e o ponto para os centavos.  Obs: Bucks só é usado quando for para dolar sem centavos.  Exemplo:  How much is the sandwich? It´s 5 bucks.   5 doláres.  Grant Significa mil doláres.  That house cost 215 grants.  Aquela casa custa 215 mil doláres.  I have 20 grants in my bank account.  Eu tenho 20 mil dolares na minha conta bancária.  Dough Give me the dough. Me dê o dinheiro. How much dough do you get per week? Quanto você ganha por semana ?
