Here is another kind of confusion that many students may also have:
In the end = finally, after a long time:
- In the end, I got a visa for Russia.
- Well, I went to my cousin's party, in the end.
At the end = at the point where something stops or ends:
- I think the film’s a bit weak at the end.
- She said that she saw the couple at the end of the tunnel.
Hi, I'm Mike, from Chicago, and some students of mine (I'm an English teacher)have told me about your blog. Well, I must admit that, for a non-native, you're damn good :-)! You're really interested in our language. And you're pretty beautiful, indeed ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read your another blog - endeavour11 but, unfortunately, I can't read Portuguese... couldn't you write endeavour11 in English? Or couldn't you teach me your mother language?
Take care and keep on it!
