Gabriel,


"What's up dude"? Just kiding lol

to be honest I think I didn't find any mistake. Maybe I would suggest something. In this sentence "O amigo neste caso usava a frase para JOGAR UM CHISTE no seu amigo." if you meant MAKE A JOKE, you could say "fazer uma brincadeira com seu amigo", that is what we would say because we are not used to use the word "chiste" in this case ok?

In "Um homem anda em uma sala e vai ao seu amigo" you could also use ANDA POR UMA SALA and VAI ATÉ SEU AMIGO. There is nothing wrong in your sentence, ok? It is justv another way to say the same thing.


Here is my joke:

What is a little yellow spot in the top of building?

That is a suicidal Fandangos*.


Explanation: In Brazil we have lot of jokes about little spots. What maks it funny is to guess what the little dot is and what it is doing. In this case, Fandangos is a kind of snack made of corn. If you are curious about "Fandangos" search for this in / at ( what preposition should I use???) Google.

Have a good week! :)
