Penjelasan:
Remind = mengingatkan; kata
remember = ingat; ingat untuk. Contoh: I remember you, I remember to post the
letter, I remember going to Bali.
The rest = sisanya;
sedangkan remains = sisa. (yang
lainnya mungkin sudah habis atau hilang).
Contoh lain kata the rest. “There are 5 rooms; three rooms are for
kitchen, living room and bed room. The rest are (the two others) still empty.
The rest are……. Jika sisa menunjukkan lebih dari satu. The rest is…. Jika
sisa nya tidak menunjukkan jamak.
The same = hal yang sama. Di
sini kata sandang “the” harus digunakan.
The same ………as……. Bukan “The
same……like……
See about = deal with =
mengurus.
Small not little untuk
ukuran (baju dll.)
The shirts come in three
sizes = Baju ini dibuat dalam 3 ukuran. Kata “come” digunakan untuk arti ini.
Fit = cocok ukurannya bukan
pass.
Let me see if = let me find out = Nanti saya cari tahu, cari info.
