Today write senteces with "hold on"
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:
"Hold on"
1.-Definition: to wait (especially on the telephone)
Examples:
I hate that canned music they play on the phone while you have to hold on. The operator asked me to hold on while she searched for the number. You shouldn’t have to hold on the phone for more than 5 minutes before bing helped.
2.-Definition: to hold something or someone firmly with your hands or arms.
Example:
She held on tightly to his waist.
3.-Definition(hold on/tight): to make yourself continue to do what you are doing or stay where you are although it is difficult or unpleasant.
Example:
If you can just hold on I'll go and get some help.
4.-Definition(hold onto/on to sth): to keep something you have.
Examples:
Hold on to your ticket - you'll need it later.
Lewis held onto the lead until the final lap.
