“I was having a personal conversation with Elisabeth when Gregory butted in”, said Raymond.
“Eu estava tendo uma conversa pessoal com Elisabeth quando Gregory interrompeu”, disse Raymond.
Sheila told Sam she would rather he didn’t butt in, because she would like to solve the problem herself.
Sheila disse a Sam que preferia que ele não se intrometesse, pois ela gostaria de resolver o problema sozinha.

Volte sempre! Be my guest!



Most English words have come from four other languages: Anglo-Saxon, French, Latin and Ancient Greek. The language spoken in Britain in the first century b.C. would have been a Celtic language, similar to the Gaelic languages that are still spoken today in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Brittany in northwest France. During the first century a.D., Britain was ruled by the Romans, who brought with them their own language: Latin. Celts and Romans lived together and their two languages probably influenced each other for the next 300 years. If you have read the comic books about Asterix the Gaul, you will know something about this period in France. Torsten - Learning coach
