Valeu por mais essa dica prof.!!
Mas vale olhar a letra da música?? hehehe ou só vale escutando sem ver a letra? Também devemos saber o significado do verbo? Ou sabendo que a palavra se trata de um verbo já basta? hehehe! Conseguir achar consegui, mas não conheço 40% dos verbos que encontrei.

Prof. thank you for more this tip!!

Oi, prof. Nathan

Conheço a maioria dos verbos que aparecem na letra, mas tenho dificuldade com listening. Qdo tenho o script, fica mais fácil de entender. O problema é que as pessoas às vezes falam muito rápido.
Mas eu ainda vou conseguir.
Fique com Deus!

Consegui acertar 72 verbos... Infelizmente creio que só de ouvir a música não acertaria 40. Alguns eu não conhecia de modo algum. Agora vou atrás do meu Longman. Muito legal a sua contribuição com os amantes do Inglês... Valeu mais uma vez!!!!!!!!!!

Nossa é bastante difícil entender os verbos, apenas escultando...
Lendo fica fácil.
