HEALTH PROBLEMS
Knowing how to communicate when we are sick in English is essential.
We never know where we may feel sick, sometimes we are abroad. 
How will you tell a doctor what you have?
Let’s learn!
SORE THROAT
HEADACHE
STOMACHACHE
BACKACHE
BACK PAIN
LEGACHE
EYEACHE
FOOTACHE
CRAMPLE = CÓLICA E CÃIMBRA
When someone asks how you feel you can answer using:
· Verb to be + feeling = I am sick.
· Verb feel + feeling = I feel bad.
· Verb have + a/an/the + health problem = I have a/THE headache.
· I’ve got + a/an/the + health problem = I’ve got the flu.
*Use the article “the” when you tell the name of a disease.
*Use the articles “a” or “an” when you tell a general problem you don’t know the cause.
