Hi, how do you do? First of all I wish all of you a great weekend...
This question is for my Portuguese colleagues...
Which 12� English school books do you recommend? I need to buy one or two, which are the best ones?
Take care and thanks in advance |

Morganalin, I know you �re looking for advice from your Portuguese colleagues but ...a wee bit of advice from a British colleague: I �d suggest Which 12� English school books do you recommend? You don �t need the �me � unless you want to say � ... recommend for me � (me personally, nobody else). I �ve seen this misconstruction too many times to let it go, unfortunately, and I know how keen you are to help others when they make mistakes.
Yours a wee bit pedantically, but with the best intentions.

Hi Almaz
Thanks a lot, for your kind lesson. I would say that most of the people here write a little bit in a hurry and we frequently see lots of small mistakes, which, in fact are not serious; some are typing mistakes, others are just because we are but leaving a short message and we don �t care more than we would in our native language.
This answer you posted, my opinion, would / could be wonderful IF pmed. Here, it looks like as if you are pointing fingers to someone who is not able to write correctly/ fluently.
And, in the meantime, you didn �t provide any answer to Morgan question!!!!
@ Morgan, sorry, can �t help you, I don �t work with 12� for a long , long time.
Hope you find your way, I �m sure you will
Hugs
