Hi,
Can I say: 'I've
Quote:
ignored breakfast
ever since I came here' to mean that I don't have breakfast anymore since I came here?

Many thanks,
Nessie.

Hi Nessie

Rather than using the verb "ignore", I think it would be more typical to use a verb such as "skip", for example.

- I been skipping breakfast ever since I came/moved here.
