Expressões com os verbos “come” e “go” Posted by on Aug 7, 2011 in Avançado

Hi, there! How’ve you been?

We start off the week with some very cool expressions with the verbs to come and to go. This post is going to be only in English so the expressions are explained in parentheses, ok? Shall we go for it?

So here’s a tip. After studying these phrasal verbs and expressions, why don’t you try and make some sentences of your own? That’s a great way to practice newly learned vocabulary.

1. She was very upset at first, but she came to terms (accepted) with it eventually.

2. I expected my arrangements to go off without a hitch (happen without problems), but they came to nothing (didn’t succeed).

3. His early success went to his head (made him too conceited) and he did no more work the rest of the year.

4. “How is your work coming along (progressing)?” “If you come along with (accompany) me I’ll show you.”

5. It’s no good, I’ve gone off (stopped liking) the idea. I can’t go through (continue, complete) with it.

6. Let’s go through (look at, discuss) this point again, in case it comes up (occurs) in the exam.

7. Go ahead (Carry on, don’t hesitate), you can take my Swiss army knife with you – it may come in useful (be handy later).

8. She kept teasing the dog, so it wasn’t surprising that it went for (attacked) her.

9. She’s decided to go it alone (become independent) and start her own business. I really hope it comes to something (becomes successful) and doesn’t turn out to be a disaster. But I’ve been told she’s gone into (investigated, examined) all the financial forecasts very thoroughly.

10. Her presentation at the conference went down very well (was a great success, received a good reaction, was received gracefully).

I hope you have a wonderful and very productive week! Take care and see you next time!
