Re: This bathroom is out of service. (it → en)
Yes, both expressions can be used to indicate that something is not functioning, that it is broken. However, “out of service” can also be used when something is not available for use even though it is working. For example, you might see it on the front of a bus that has finished its journey and is o...

Re: Do not use too much force. (it → en)
This also required some thought! Yes, you can say for example; I held on with all my might. A show of military might. “all my might” is certainly quite common. Otherwise I think the word is more often used to describe the strength and power of a nation or natural force. You could for example talk of...

Re: Do not use too much force. (it → en)
For this sentence, I would use the word “force”. Often “strength” and “force” are synonyms, but not here. I have had to think carefully to try and work out why not! I think the difference here is that “force” is what is being applied and “strength” is what is used to apply it. I will need to use a l...

Re: Come tradurre "dire la tua"?
Credo che il seguente possa essere adatto. Come here and have your say. Come here and have your two penn’orth (two cents). Come here and say your piece. Come here and state your case. Ci sono anche alcuni “phrasal verbs”, per esempio; Chip in Weigh in Speak out Speak up Do you have an opinion? Pleas...
Re: got
“To get changed” è un’espressione idiomatica che significa indossare abiti diversi.
He got changed = He changed his clothes, he put on different clothes.

Re: anche / too
Si, sono d’accordo, ma c’è anche una terza opzione - “as well”. Per esempio; Io sono un insegnante. Anche mio fratello è un insegnante. I am a teacher. My brother is also a teacher. My brother is a teacher too. My brother is a teacher as well. Mio fratello è uno scrittore ed è anche un insegnante. M...

Re: La formazione del futuro
Grazie David! Che dici di “The restaurant is opening next month”? Inoltre, ne approfitto per domandare: parlando in famiglia usi mai “shall” al posto di “will”, in qualche caso particolare? The restaurant is opening next month Sì, questa frase (il present continuous ) può essere usata anche per par...

La formazione del futuro
In inglese, ci sono diversi modi in cui si può parlare del futuro. Per esempio The restaurant will open next week. The restaurant is going to open next week. The restaurant will be opening next week. Tutte e tre queste frasi traducono "Il ristorante aprirà la prossima settimana". Quindi qu...
