I sleep in a bed.
At night, when I �m tired I go to bed. I get into bed. (Under the blankets/ covers.
During the day I might have a rest, then I lie on the bed. (Not under the covers)
or I sleep on the couch/sofa.
Cooking:
I normally cook my food on a stove. (Electric, gas or wood)
When camping I cook over an open fire, or roast potatoes in the fire.
Others may have a different way of saying this. |

Thanks Apodo
I would never say that I cook OVER an open fire. That ( I am not native ) sounds strange for me. I would say that I cook " on ", because I actualy lay the meat, the fish, whatever, on the fire.
Speaking / or just reading native people, makes me feels slightly uncomfortable ( Sorry, no emoticon, Victor cancelled my emoticons, I think He thinks I was overusing them , I wanted that one with the blinky, but no one available ) . There are many rough mistakes in my English. Poor me.
Thanks, Apodo

Renzo, could you please group your (future) questions in a single post? There �s no need to hijack the board with all your separate posts.
Hope you understand.
