Going to the dentist

 

There are three mistakes in the next video.  They wrote ger when they meant get, and filing when they meant filling.  The young man says his mum tells him off.  He should say that his mom tells him not to eat sweets.  Telling someone off can mean yelling and cursing at them because they made you very angry.

You don't have to

"Would" has many meanings.  In my level, we usually use it with requests.

Would you like some water? 

"Would" in this song is past for "will."

I said I would give a vocabulary quiz on Monday.

Today at 11:30 AM: Laurie: "I will give a quiz on Monday."

After Laurie finishes speaking, you can say "Laurie said she would give a quiz on Monday."

Is this the worst Elvis song?  It's a good example of "don't have to.'  What do you have to do?  What are some things you don't have to do?

NEW SAFETY PROCEDURE -- WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS

When you get out of your car (or off the bus), don't come to our class in Trailer 4.  Go to the front door -- door #1 of the big Plum Center building. 

Walk through the front door of the big building at Plum Center, walk past room 100 - the ESOL office -- and walk out the back door.  Then come to our class in Trailer 4.

If you can read and understand this, please text the information to your friends in my class.
