No, no, por supuesto que no voy a anunciar todavía mi boda con un rico heredero de una corona europea, aunque sé que todos lo estáis esperando. Simplemente, voy a incluir aquí unas expresiones bastante útiles que creo necesario que revisen todos los que han hecho el examen sobre The Merchant of Venice.
Por cierto, y para todos. Si habláis de un escritor, no le podéis llamar William, Dámaso o Miguelito. Siempre tendréis que llamarlo por el nombre completo o el apellido: Shakespeare, Alonso o Cervantes. ¡No os olvidéis! Que, por desgracia, no son nuestros coleguillas.

I have some doubts that I don't know if they could be right for answering some of the questions.
ResponderEliminarIn number 3, isn't "in" left at the end of the right answer?
In number 6, could it be possible "get married to"?
I think it's a great idea the checking test!! Brilliant!!
XOXOXO
In the end, it hasn´t been such a brilliant idea to include the test!! Next time I´ll ask you before posting anything (don´t panic, I´m kidding).
ResponderEliminarFor sure you can say "get married to" in 6 and you can´t leave "in" out in number 3--"He GOT MARRIED IN London".
Thank you for your help!!!!!
Un besazo y perdón por la confusión. Se me borró el comentario y cuando lo volví a escribir, lo hice deprisa.
Realizado y espero que interiorizado.
ResponderEliminarBuena distracción cuando estás estudiando. ¡Gracias!
