BEING ILL-1

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having a great day. 

Although I am feeling well today, I've decided to review expressions that we use when we are ill. We'll start with expressions that use "I've got" or "I have."

I've got a headache: We use this when we feel pain (dolor) in our head. We can also say my head hurts.

I've got a sore throat: We use this expression when we feel pain in our throat (garganta).

I've got a cold (resfriado): When we have a cold, we are congested, that is we have a stuffed-up nose. When we have a cold, we may also have a fever (fiebre) and general aches and pains.

There are a lot more expressions, but I think we'll continue tomorrow, since after writing this I don't feel well. ;-)

Can you use one of more of these expression in your own, original sentences? You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) and we will give you feedback about your sentences as soon as possible.

Have a good day!
