I have been sitting on a chair for a long time and my back hurts.
Good morning Michael! I hope you´re fine! I´m at work listening to Happy English Podcast and I´m in dout with something.
Could you please tell me the difference between Stomach ache and Stomach Pain? Which of them is mostly used?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Elaine
Hi Elaine. Sorry for the delay in replying.
That’s a great topic, actually. We use “stomachache” more often. I think I’ll post a lesson looking at the differences and which words usually go with which words. Thanks!
Hi Michael! Thanks for answering my question! I’m sure it’s going to be a great topic to discuss about.
Sincerely
Elaine
