WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

EN ESTE VÍDEO PODÉIS ESCUCHAR UNA CANCIÓN DE RIHANNA, EN LA QUE SE UTILIZA PRESENT PERFECT EN INTERROGATIVA

jueves, 15 de noviembre de 2012

LIKE: VERB OR PREPOSITION?

Like as a verb is used mainly to talk about enjoyment, preferences and habits. It is perhaps not quite as strong in emotional terms as love, or be fond of or be keen on. 

Like as a preposition with nouns or pronouns is used to express ideas of similarity or comparison.

SAMUEL'S DIALOGUE

Samuel              Where’s my blue shirt?
Samuel’s wife    No time to iron it. Today was very bad day.   
Samuel              I mean you didn’t have to iron? If you were at home all day!
Samuel’s wife    Look, Samuel, I was home all day, but today I had a lot of    
                         work.    
Samuel              Doing what? I work out all day so that there is food on the   
                         table, while you spend here watching the TV novels.
Samuel’s wife    Are you crazy? You have no idea what it’s to manage a
                         Household, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing and care for 
                         children above!
Samuel              Words, just words! Of all the people I know, you’re the one 
                         with the most comfortable life. You still have to learn what 
                         it’s to work seriously.
Samuel’s wife    Of course! You do know, I guess! Sitting in the office all   
                         day, unless you take clients to eat a good restaurant or 
                         when you go golfing with the boss. Then you come in the 
                         afternoon and start watching TV while I clean and scrub 
                         the hause, right? You simply umbearable!
