Our show notes remind us what we need to talk about. Remind is when a person or thing makes you think about something.

Remember is when you think of a memory (a past experience): I remember the first time I met you. – Tengo que irme a las 5 de la tarde no te olvides de recordármelo. You remind SOMEONE TO DO something – “Remind me to write the shownotes to this episode.” Remind + direct object: “Remind ME to buy milk.” “To hear a noise” / “Hear people speaking.” “I prevented Reza from coming into the room by closing the door.” “I avoided going to the party by saying I was sick.” Preventing something means actively interfering to stop something happening. “He told my brother to help him.” / “He told the teacher that he had done his homework.”īy avoiding something, you take an action to “go around” the problem. “He said hello.” / “He said he wanted to help me.” / “He said something in Spanish.” I have a question, What is the difference between to say and to tell ( decir)? “How’s John’s brother?” ( ❼ómo está? – Asking about health) What’s it like?” / “I don’t know John’s brother.

“Craig likes to get up early because he can have a slow breakfast, get ready slowly, have a shower.” (he likes the RESULT) “Reza doesn’t like getting up early.” (the ACTIVITY of getting up) TO LOOK LIKE = to be similar to: “That shirt looks like a shirt I used to have.” / “He looks like his brother.” (He and his brother have a similar appearance.)

TO LIKE: “I like paella, I like the weather and the people in Valencia.” Look like, like and Look – What’s the difference? I´m looking for information about the use of these sentences, Could you help me? “I need to find out what time the train leaves for Madrid tomorrow.” / “I was the last one to find out that my girlfriend was cheating on me.” “Reza, I notice you’re wearing a new shirt today.” / “I notice you’ve had your hair cut.” / I notic you’ve added more salt than normal to the soup.”įind out = to obtain information. “Notice” means to see, hear or feel something. “Realize” means to know and understand something in your mind. Realize and notice es darse cuenta, find out puede ser averiguar o darse cuenta. When do you use “realize”, “notice” ” find out” I think all of them mean the same.
