When you ingest something, you just put something into your body (usually through your mouth). Then your body starts breaking down the food into its chemical elements. This process is called 'digestion'. So you first ingest something and then your body digests it.

With letthere are lot of collocations: only some ones:
let sb know=inform sb about sth For exp: I don't know whether I can come to the meeting but I'll let you know tomorrow.
offering help: Let me do it.
used to express a strong wish for sth to happen: Let her come home safely.
used to introduce what you are going to say:
to allow sb to be free Will they the hostages go?
to give up an attitude It's time to let the past go.
to behave in a relaxed way, without worrying Come on, enjoy yourself, let yourself go! Let me give you an example.
There are more. For today it is enough, isn't it? |

Dear Teacher,
Here are my sentences related to the simple tense. Do you think these sentences are right?
Today, I take an English course at the University of Sciences and Social Humanities, my teacher is Steve. Maybe he is from New York or maybe not. The way he teaches us is interesting.
Thank you in advance. Candy |

Hi Candy,
I would suggest: I am taking... Start a new sentence: My teacher is Steve.
