I'm not sure about British English, but in American English you would say "I'm going to take a bath" and "Stop whining about it!"

Thank you!
I will explain what I'm doing.
When I hear or read a word that is new for me, I look for it on the internet and I choose those that help me to give context. Then I write the phrases in a text file and review them daily.
Since I know RhinoSpike, I was requesting the audio phrases like these, so I can review them with my ears.

Thanks again!

That's a good method for finding sentences, I do the same thing sometimes. Are there particular sites you use to find sentences? My favorites are tatoeba.org and linguee.com.

I use wordreference.com and forum.wordreference.com and then I use google.
I didn't know tatoeba or linguee!

Thanks!
