How to talk about extended weekends, public holidays and beach getaways

Have you ever taken an extra day off [dia de folga] to turn a public holiday [feriado oficial] into a long weekend [fim de semana prolongado]? Or planned a little getaway [uma escapada; uma viagem curta] to make the most of [aproveitar ao máximo] a holiday break [folga no feriado]?

In English, there are several natural ways to talk about these situations. Some expressions are casual and conversational, while others are more formal and suitable for professional or written communication.

1. 🗓️ Talking about long weekends

A long weekend is a weekend extended by a public holiday or an extra day off work.

📅 CASUAL ENGLISH

- We're going to have a long weekend. [Vamos ter um feriadão (um fim de semana prolongado).]

- The holiday's on Monday, so we'll get a three-day weekend. [O feriado é/cai na segunda, então, vamos ter um fim de semana prolongado (de três dias)].

- We've got three days off! [Vamos ter três dias de folga.]

📅 FORMAL ENGLISH

- We will have an extended weekend. [Teremos um feriado/fim de semana prolongado]. 

- The public holiday falls on a Monday, giving us a three-day break. [O feriado oficial cai na segunda-feira, o que nos dará três dias de descanso.]

- We will have three consecutive days off. [Teremos três dias consecutivos de descanso.]

💡 Remember:

LONG WEEKEND = a weekend extended by a holiday or an extra day off.

THREE-DAY WEEKEND = Friday, Saturday and Sunday OR Saturday, Sunday and Monday, depending on the holiday.

2. 📍 When does the holiday fall/land? [Quando cai o feriado?]

We use to fall / land on when talking about the day of the week or date on which a holiday occurs.

Expression| Example

Fall / land on Monday| The holiday falls on a Monday.

Fall / land on Tuesday| The public holiday falls on a Tuesday.

Fall / land on a weekday [dia de semana]| The holiday falls on a weekday this year.

Fall / land on a weekend| The holiday falls on a weekend this year.

3. 🔗 How do we say "emendar o feriado"?

Usamos a expressão em português quando um feriado cai em uma terça ou quinta e, tiramos folga também no dia útil entre o feriado e o fim de semana. 

English doesn't have one single expression that covers every situation. Here are three useful alternatives.

A. Take an extra day off  [tirar um dia a mais de folga; emendar a segunda quando o feriado cai na terça, por exemplo.]

Use this when you take an additional day off work.

🗣️ We're taking Monday off. [Vamos emendar a segunda (do feriado que cai na terça, por exemplo)]

✍️ We have decided to take an additional day off on Monday. [Resolvemos emendar a segunda do feriado.]

B. Make a long weekend out of it [Emendar o feriado.]

A very natural, casual expression meaning that you use a holiday and an extra day off to create a longer break.

We're taking Monday off to make a four-day weekend out of it. [Vamos emendar a segunda do feriado e "pegar" um fim de semana prolongado; fazer um fim de semana de quatro dias.]

C. Extend the holiday break [Prolongar a folga/o descanso do feriado.]

A more formal expression, particularly useful in professional communication.

We're taking Monday off to extend the holiday break. [Vamos descansar / folgar na segunda e prolongar o feriado / fim de semana.] 

Our decision to take Monday off will allow us to extend the holiday break to four consecutive days. [Nossa decisão de folgar na segunda-feira vai nos permitir prolongar o feriado para quatro dias seguidos. ]

💡 Memory tip:

TAKE A DAY OFF → the action.

EXTEND THE BREAK → the result.

MAKE A LONG WEEKEND OUT OF IT → the casual, conversational expression.

4. 🏖️ Talking about a beachfront hotel

How do you day hotel pé na areia in English?

The most useful expression is beachfront hotel.

5. 💬 Put it all together!

B: Yes! There's a holiday on Tuesday, so we're taking Monday off to make it a four-day weekend.

A: Nice! What are you going to do?

A self-guided lesson • Recognition → understanding → reproduction → practice → real communication

🎯 Learning goals

Recognize comparative adjectives in sentences.

Form comparatives of most one-syllable adjectives and two-syllable adjectives ending in y.

Use spelling rules for -er, final -e, consonant doubling, and consonant + y.

Compare two people, animals, places, or objects using than.

Use comparisons to express your own ideas.

🧭 How to study: Work through the stages in order. Try each task before checking the answer key. Say examples aloud. If you are studying on paper, cover the answer key until you finish.

1. 🔎 Discover the pattern

Look at each pair of sentences. Choose the sentence that sounds correct.

 🦒🦒 Look at the two giraffes. The giraffe on the left is ____ than the giraffe on the right.

A. The giraffe on the left is tall than the giraffe on the right.

B. The giraffe on the left is taller than the giraffe on the right.

🐭🐭 Look at the two mice. The mouse on the left is ____ than the mouse on the right.

A. The mouse on the left is more small than the mouse on the right.

B. The mouse on the left is smaller than the mouse on the right.

🐱🐱 The cat on the left is ____ than the cat on the right.

A. The cat on the left is biger than the cat on the right.

B. The cat on the left is bigger than the cat on the right.

💡 What do you notice?

Complete: tall → ______ ; small → ______ ; big→ ______

Basic pattern: adjective + -er + than

Example: The giraffe on the left is taller than the giraffe on the right.

2. 🧩 Learn the spelling rules

🟢 + ER

Rule 1 — For most one-syllable adjectives, add -er.

tall → taller • short → shorter • fast → faster • cold → colder

🔵 + R

Rule 2 — If the adjective already ends in -e, add only -r.

nice → nicer • large → larger • wide → wider • safe → safer

🟠 DOUBLE

Rule 3 — Double the final consonant when the adjective has a short “vowel sandwich”

[🥪vowel🥪]: one vowel between two consonants, with the final consonant at the end of the word.

big → bigger • hot → hotter • thin → thinner • sad → sadder • wet → wetter

The vowel is “sandwiched” between consonants: b-i-g, h-o-t, th-i-n. The final consonant is doubled before -er.

⚠️ Helpful contrast: fast → faster (the word ends in two consonants, st, so do not double the t). cool → cooler (two vowels together, oo). new → newer (do not double w).

🟣 Y → i

Rule 4 — If the adjective ends in consonant + y, usually change y to i and add -er.

dry → drier • easy → easier • heavy → heavier

Exception to remember: shy → shyer.

🧠 Spelling reminder: this is a useful general pattern, not a rule to apply blindly to every word. Some words have special forms.

3. 🎯 Recognition practice

Choose the correct comparative spelling. Write A, B, or C beside each number.

1. tall

A. taller B. tallerer C. more tall

2. nice

A. niceer B. nicer C. niccer

3. big

A. biger B. bigger C. biggger

4. hot

A. hoter B. hotter C. hotier

5. dry

A. dryer B. drier C. dryier

6. fast

A. fastter B. faster C. fastier

7. thin

A. thiner B. thinner C. thinnier

8. wide

A. wider B. wideer C. widder

✏️ My score: ____ / 8

4. 💡 Understand the meaning

A comparative tells us that one person or thing has a quality to a greater degree than another.

🐘🐭 The elephant is bigger than the mouse. (The elephant has a greater size.)

🐕🐕 The dog on the left is faster than the dog on the right. (It can run at a higher speed.)

☕🥃 The drink on the left is hotter than the drink on the right. (Its temperature is higher.)

Choose or write the best answer:

1. A is shorter than B, then B is bigger/taller than A.

A. A is taller than B. B is ____ than A.

2. Today is colder than yesterday. Yesterday was ____ than today.

3. My old phone is heavier than my new phone. My new phone is ____ than my old phone.

A. light. B. less light. C. lighter

4. Complete:

This book is better ____ that book.

5. 🗣️ Reproduce the pattern

Say each sentence aloud. Read it slowly once, then repeat it at a natural speed. Pay attention to the comparative ending and to than.

Audio

🚆 A train is faster than a bicycle.

🏠 This room is bigger than my bedroom.

🌞 Today is hotter than yesterday.

👟 My new shoes are nicer than my old shoes.

🛣️ This road is wider than that road.

🧺 The towel on the left is drier than the towel on the right.

🎒 The bag on the left is lighter than the bag on the right.

🙂 My brother is thinner than he was last year.

🎧 Listen–pause–repeat: listen to each sentence. Pause and repeat it without looking at the text. Then cover the examples and reproduce them from memory.

🔊 Pronunciation note: taller, bigger, hotter, and nicer each have two syllables in the comparative. Doubling a consonant changes the spelling, not the number of syllables.

6. ✍️ Controlled production

Complete each sentence with the comparative form of the adjective in parentheses. Write the whole word.

A cheetah is ______ than a horse. (fast)

An elephant is ______ than a dog. (big)

Ice is ______ than boiling water. (cold)

This knife is ______ than that one. (sharp)

The road on the left is ______ than the road on the right. (wide)

This exercise is ______ than the last one. (easy)

Summer is usually ______ than winter here. (hot)

This box is ______ than that one. (heavy)

The blue shirt is ______ than the red shirt. (nice)

Today I feel ______ than yesterday. (well)

✏️ My score: ____ / 10

⚠️ Special forms: well → better; good → better; bad → worse. These are irregular comparatives, so learn them as special forms.

7. 🎲 Guided communication

Choose two items from each pair. Make your own sentence using one or more adjectives. Say each sentence aloud, then write it down.

🚲 🏍️ A bicycle and a motorcycle. Use: fast, loud, heavy, cheap.

Example: A motorcycle is faster than a bicycle.

🏠 🏡 Two houses. Use: big, small, old, new, wide.

Example: The house on the left is smaller than the house on the right.

🎒 🎒 Two backpacks. Use: light, heavy, big, small, nice.

Example: The green backpack is lighter than the black backpack.

✏️ Your turn

1. Compare two animals using big: ______________________________________________

2. Compare two places using hot: _______________________________________________

3. Compare two objects using heavy: ____________________________________________

8. 🌎 Real communication

Choose one activity. Speak for 30–60 seconds. If you are studying alone, record yourself and listen to your recording. Try to use at least four comparative adjectives.

☕ A. Your everyday life

Compare two mornings, two meals, two rooms, or two ways of travelling.

Possible opening: “For me, working in the morning is harder than working in the afternoon because…”

🧳 B. Make a recommendation

A friend is choosing between two hotels, phones, or holiday destinations. Explain which one you recommend and why.

Possible opening: “Hotel A is cheaper than Hotel B, but Hotel B is closer to the beach…”

💬 C. Defend an opinion

Which is better for you: city life or country life? Which is more relaxing, safer, or more convenient?

Possible opening: “Country life is quieter than city life, but city life is more convenient for me because…”

9. ✅ Self-assessment

☐ I can recognize the correct comparative spelling.

☐ I can explain when to add -er and when to double the final consonant.

☐ I remember that adjectives ending in -e take only -r.

☐ I can form comparatives without a word bank.

☐ I can use than correctly in a sentence.

☐ I can compare real things and explain my reasons without reading a model.

How the Brazilian Runoff Election Works

In the second round of Brazilian elections, only the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round take part in the runoff. This happens when none of the candidates in the first round secures an absolute majority of the valid votes — more than 50% — needed to win outright.

Voters then return to their assigned polling stations, which are rooms in public buildings, usually schools. Their polling stations are designated by the electoral authorities when their voter registration documents are first issued. In most cases, the polling location remains the same, but voters are always advised to check the official electoral authorities' app to confirm where they need to go.

Outside the polling station, voters are expected to wait in line until an election official allows them to enter. Certain groups, including pregnant women, people over 60, people with mobility difficulties, and others with physical limitations, are entitled to priority access to reduce their waiting time.

Once inside the room, voters present a valid photo ID, either a physical document or a digital version on their mobile phones.

An election official locates the voter's name on the electoral register and authorizes access to the voting booth.

The voter enters the booth and types in the number of their chosen candidate for president, governor, or mayor, depending on which offices are being contested in that election.

The electronic voting machine emits a sound when the vote has been cast. The voter also receives a small printed slip confirming that they have voted. This is necessary because voting is compulsory in Brazil for citizens aged 18 and over, subject to certain legal exceptions.

Once voting closes, the electronic vote-counting process begins shortly afterward. Thanks to a nationwide integrated system for tabulating and transmitting results, the entire country can usually find out which candidates have won within a few hours.

Important note: In Brazil, to win the presidential election in the first round, a candidate must obtain an absolute majority of the valid votes — more than 50%, excluding blank and invalid votes. This is different from simply receiving more votes than any individual opponent.

Feliz dia, professores!

 

🐪 Hump Day got you down? Don't let it bump you around!

🐪 Hump Day got you down? Don't let it bump you around!  Se você acompanha meu blog, já sabe que Wednesday é o dia da semana que ganhou o apelido otimista de Hump Day. Contudo, nem tudo é alegria no Hump Day, porque muitas pessoas tropeçam ao dizer Wednesday. Por isso, estou propondo aqui uma reflexão e uma brincadeira sobre a quarta-feira em inglês. Você sabe pronunciar Wednesday? Tem certeza? Quantas sílabas há em Wednesday? Você pronuncia todas as letras na palavra? Existem letras que você não pronuncia? Vamos pensar um pouco… Quantas sílabas há em Wednesday? Uma Duas  Três Quatro  Depende…        2. Existem letras mudas em Wednesday? Se sim, quantas? Uma Duas  Três Quatro  Depende…       3. Se existem letras mudas, quais são elas? Nenhuma W  e o segundo D O primeiro D e o segundo E Depende… Vamos ouvir a pronúncia e conferir suas respostas? Aqui, com o sotaque britânico: Wednesday em inglês britânico Aqui, com o sotaque americano e uma explicação bem detalhada da pronúncia: Wednesday em inglês americano Agora ouça aqui como Wednesday e os outros dias da semana são pronunciados. Compare com os vídeos anteriores e me diga, nos comentários, se você percebeu alguma diferença importante. Muppets sing: Seven Days of the Week Confira agora suas respostas ao quiz e assista aos vídeos novamente. Você pode mudar suas respostas, se quiser. Depois, veja o gabarito e as explicações. Se ficar alguma dúvida, escreva nos comentários. Vou adorar responder. Quantas sílabas há em Wednesday? Uma Duas  Três Quatro  Depende…        2. Existem letras mudas em Wednesday? Se sim, quantas? Uma Duas Três Zero Depende…      3. Se existem letras mudas, quais são elas? Nenhuma W  e o segundo D O primeiro D e o segundo E Os dois E Depende… Agora, vamos às explicações: A terminação -day nos dias da semana pode ser pronunciada de forma extensa ou encurtada em inglês americano. Sendo assim, Wednesday pode ser pronunciado: /ˈwɛnz.deɪ/ ou /ˈwɛnz.dɪ/ Quando a palavra "Wednesday" é pronunciada como /ˈwɛnz.dɪ/, ela possui 3 letras mudas. As letras que não são pronunciadas nessa palavra são: O primeiro d (Wednesday) O segundo e (Wednesday) O som final ay, que vira /i/. Aqui, a explicação é complexa, mas: para efeito da nossa brincadeira, vamos considerar que, de duas letras, só pronunciamos uma: o "ay" final é lido como /ey/, mas, na variação encurtada do sufixo /dɪ/, o som se transforma em /i/, ou seja, é como se a letra “a” sumisse e só sobrasse a letra “y”. Ou seja, o “a” fica mudo. A pronúncia extensa de -day nos dias da semana,segundo os linguistas: De forma mais direta e consensual entre linguistas, o primeiro d e o segundo e (Wedne-) são sempre estritamente mudas em qualquer variação de pronúncia contemporânea. Mas você pode ouvir falantes nativos usando uma pronúncia mais casual em inglês americano, quando então um terceiro som some. Nesses casos, -day, em vez de ser pronunciado /dei/, é pronunciado /di/.  E isso acontece não só com a pronúncia de Wednesday, mas também com a de todos os outros dias da semana. Veja de novo o vídeo e observe se você percebe com mais clareza o final -day  “encurtado” nos dias da semana: Classic Sesame Street - Anything Muppets Sing Seven Days Of The Week Então, agora você aprendeu, recordou ou confirmou que a palavra Wednesday tem algumas “armadilhas sonoras” para quem aprende inglês. Com os vídeos que postei aqui, você pode treinar para, sempre que precisar, pronunciar Wedenesday com naturalidade. Além disso, aprendeu, recordou ou confirmou que, nos dias da semana, a terminação -day  pode ser pronunciada /dei/ ou /di/.  Um bom exercício que espero que você faça a partir de agora é prestar atenção sempre que ouvir essas palavras pronunciadas em filmes, músicas e outras situações reais de comunicação em inglês. 📅 Os dias da semana pronunciados nas formas extensa vs. encurtada. Estas são pronúncias encontradas no inglês americano.
