"Would you rather" means "Do you prefer." For this morning's dialog, we asked, "would you rather eat at home or eat out at a restaurant?" If you want to change your answer with the situation, say, "It depends on the circumstances."

We say "dress up" both for costumes and beautiful formal clothes.
Kids and adults in the US often wear costumes on Halloween. My children liked to do theater so they also dressed up in costumes when they were actors.
Some people dress up for parties. What do you usually wear to parties? What was your best party outfit ever?
What do you like to wear when you go out to a restaurant?
What do you wear to work?
What do you wear to relax?
Shift can mean move a little. Shift can be a simple dress or a slip. In our book, shift is a set of hours. Businesses that are open 24 hours per day -- hospitals, factories, 7 11-- have shift workers.
Shift work is typically morning shift from 7AM-3PM. Afternoon shift is 3PM-11PM. Night shift is from 11PM - 7AM. When I did shift work, night shift workers got extra pay.
When I hear "night shift," I think of this song. This song was popular right after Martin Gaye died. I think that night shift might mean heaven in this song.
Did you ever work the night shift? What did you do?
