get out of bed vs. get off the bed
“Get out (of)” is used when you are inside something.
For example:
— Get out of the bed.
— Get out of the car.
— Get out of the room.
“Get off” is used when you are on top of something.
For example:
— Get off the bike.
— Get off the couch.
— Get off the table!
Use ‘get out of bed’ when you’re under the covers or waking up. Use ‘get off the bed’ when you’re sitting or lying on top of the bed, like jumping or resting without covers.
Eu fiquei em dúvida porque fica está “em cima” da cama, mas o correto é Get out of the bed.
this vs. that

Na refração: This lens or that lens?
wake up vs. get up
‘Wake up’ means your mind becomes conscious. ‘Get up’ means your body moves out of bed.

“That was a clear explanation.”
“Thanks, that clarified it.”
“That explanation was very helpful.”
“You explained it really well.”

Shall we
Polite and slightly (um pouco ou levemente) formal way to make a suggestion or invite someone to do something together. It’s often used in British English, but it’s still understood in American English too (though Americans use “Should we…” or “Do you want to…” more often).
Shall we + base verb…?
Examples:
Shall we practice today? → (Do you want to practice together?)
Shall we X Can we X Let’s
Shall we…? Polite, includes the other person, suggests doing something together
Can we…? Asks if it’s possible or allowed
Let’s… Stronger suggestion or decision
🎯 Example Comparison:
Let’s practice today. → You are suggesting it strongly.
Can we practice today? → You are asking for permission or possibility.
Shall we practice today? → You are inviting the other person to agree politely.
Shall we no início ou no fim?
Shall we go now? → a direct suggestion/question.
Let’s go now, shall we? → a softer, more conversational way to include the listener.
É como dizer:
“Do you agree?” / “Are you okay with that?”
Vamos começar de onde paramos
Okay, let’s go back to where we left off.
That means: let’s return to the point where we stopped before.
I can do everything I need to do” → natural, but even smoother is
“I can get everything done” (an advanced but useful phrase!)

- I usually: Used to talk about things you do regularly (your habits or routines — now or generally).

I am used to + noun / -ing verb

💡 Not the same as “used to do something” — this one uses “to” as a preposition, followed by a noun or verb in -ing form.
