Thank you for a delicious potluck party!

A potluck is a party that asks all the guests to bring food to share.  Many people have potlucks in the USA -- especially groups at schools, churches, and neighborhood pools.  Please bring something yummy.  If you really don't have the time or money to bring food, don't worry.  Come anyway.

Please don't bring pork (pig meat) children, or alcoholic drinks.

Fried chicken & donuts are always excellent potluck choices!

The homemade Mantu, Guatemalan enchilada, fruit salad, and Qabili were so amazing and delicious!

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?
