Using "the other day" instead of "the next day", etc.

☕️ “Not my cup of tea” ☕️

👉🏻🙅🏻Something that you do not like or are not interested in.


🌟Examples:

🌀A: Do you like rock music?
B: No, that kind of music isn’t my cup of tea.

🌀Some people love football, but it’s not my cup of tea. I prefer tennis.

📃 NEVER USE “TO” AFTER “ARRIVE”

Don’t say: We arrived to the airport.
Don’t say: When will you arrive to Rome?

The correct sentences are:

◾️We arrived at the airport.
◾️We got to the airport. (more informal)
◾️When will you arrive in Rome?

“Get to” is an informal way to say “arrive”… but don’t use “to” with the previous exceptions:

◾️I got home at midnight.
◾️What time did you get there?
◾️The dog got outside again.
