☝️A piece of advice
#005
In English, we love saying ‘a piece’ of something.
Would you like a piece of cake?
In this example, ‘piece’ is trozo.
In other cases it could be translated as fragmento or pedazo.
There’s a piece of glass in this piece of bread.
But if you’re translating from Spanish you will often need to add the word ‘piece’.
Una tostada is a piece of toast
Un mueble is a piece of furniture
You may also hear:
A piece of fruit
A piece of clothing
Mi consejo - My piece of advice, is make sure you know these above.
If these are easy, then write to us and put one of the following in a context:
Piece of the action
Piece of the pie
We will publish the best answer.
Anyway, I thought you might find this piece of information useful 😉.

🤦🏻♀️ ‘When I get to home’
The word ‘get’ can mean ‘arrive’.
This is when it is used with a location after the word.

✅ ‘When I get home’
However, when we say home, back, here, or there we don’t use ‘to’.

I’ll call you when I get there
Something to sound confident 🧐
