Today write sentences with "carry on"

Question

Hello everyone. I think phrasal verbs are some of the most difficult to many English learners because most of them do not have a literal translation. So I have decided to learn one or two phrasal verbs every day.

I know you can help me with that, but you also need to learn Spanish, so please write the sentence in English using the PV then try it in Spanish. Then I will correct your sentence (the Spanish sentence, of course); we will help each other out.

If you´re not sure about how to translate your sentence, just explain (in English) what your Pv means and I will help with your translation.

Today let's write sentences using the phrasal verb:

"Carry on"

Singing your praises! - rac1, Jun 30, 2012

Luis - "carry on about" can be either positive or negative, depending on context. As Rac said, it can be "to sing your praises" or "complain constantly". You just need a feel for the context, whether it is positive or negative. - Noetol, Jul 1, 2012
