COMMON ERROR FROM OUR SKYPE ENGLISH CLASSES: ‘BEFORE’, ‘AFTER’ AND ‘WITHOUT’ MUST BE FOLLOWED BY THE GERUND:

This is a common problem in our English Skype classes. If you want to use a verb after ‘before’, ‘after’ or ‘without’ it must be in the gerund form (ing) and not in infinitive. Thus, to say ‘antes de ir al evento necesito comer’ would be ‘before going to the event, I need to eat’. Definately don’t say ‘before to go…’. Similarly, we’d say ‘without/after going to the event…’. Hope that helps. Have a great day.

COMMON ERROR FROM OUR SKYPE ENGLISH CLASSES: TRANSLATING ‘EN BREVE’

So we wouldn’t say ‘in brief’ to translate ‘en breve’ when you are talking about doing something soon. We’d use the term ‘shortly’. For example, ‘I will contact you shortly to arrange our next class’. That’s all for now. Have a great 2017!!
