Despit the fact that salt is necessary in particular in warmer weather due to loss by sweating...but it really affects your blood veins' responces to manipulat blood pressure and consuming salty foods a little bit addictive too. God bless you all for these kinds of teaching which help public health as well.♥️🌹

[@pedropetrucci2884]

Does dinner means the same than supper?

[@bbclearningenglish]

This is a very large debate in the UK! Dinner can mean 'the large, main meal of the day', or 'an evening meal'. Supper means 'an evening meal', often a light one. Confusingly, these expressions can mean different things in different parts of the UK. Basically, they have very similar meanings. Don't worry about it :) I'd suggest using 'dinner' if you aren't sure...

Sorry, but, when you use dead with an adjective, like dead easy , in this case, does dead become an adverb, doesn´t it?
