🍷 Wine, by the bottle.

October 18, 2023

I must admit, I enjoy having a glass of wine with a friend.

But this made me think…

How do you say “bottle of wine”? I asked.

“botella de vino” they said.

And how do you say “wine bottle”?

“botella de vino, it’s the same”.

I smiled, because for English speakers they are not the same…

If you know the difference write to us. We will publish the best answer next week.

This week’s 3 tips:

Something to avoid 🫣

🤦🏻‍♀️ "I am used to do it"

If you want to say that you are accustomed to something, then you must use either a noun or gerund (doing). You cannot use an infinitive (to do) here!

✅ "I am used to doing it"

You could also say, “I am used to it” (using the pronoun “it”). But the important thing is that when you use a verb here, it must end in “-ing”.

Remember that a noun or a gerund function in the same way.

She is used to the weather - noun

She is used to working on Saturdays - gerund

Something to sound confident 🧐

👔 Business jargon explained

"Win-win"

A situation in which both parties benefit.

Working from home can be a win-win for both employers and employees

Something silly 😅
