gets onto hands and knees ficar de quatro Explanation: se ajoelha e começa a engatinhar melhor ainda: se ajoelha como se fosse a começar a engatinhar ajoelhar-se, debruçar-se, engatinhar https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=se ajoelha e ... melhor ainda: ficar de quatro = on all fours https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=erf1&tok=q6sgnXCrIijk35... "Gets onto hands and knees as if to begin crawling." the key here is: "as if to begin crawling", so the kid isn't crawling yet ...the child is on all fours and is in a position to begin to crawl or looks like it might begin to crawl "gets on all fours" |
