Ok, here's a song...

You keep asking for a song. Here you are!!! I hope you like it. But you have to do something with it, not just enjoy, I'm afraid...
Look for:
- a verb + preposition
- a phrasal verb
- a verb + object + infinitive
- an example of an expression we have recently revised (UofE)
- a regular verb in the past pronounced /id/
- a regular verb in the past pronounced /d/
- a regular verb in the past pronounced /t/

  1. - a verb + preposition: I AM AT (a papyphone)
    - a phrasal verb: BLOW UP
    - a verb + object + infinitive: I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO CARE
    - Use of English: (I got two, because I don't know wich is you're looking for) The people we USED TO be; IF happy ever after DID exist, I WOULD still be holding you like this
    - a regular verb in the past pronounced /id/: said

  4. I'm so proud of you! But sorry, there was a mistake which I have already edited. There are two more examples of pronunciation of "-ed". Can you find them?

  5. Laura and Carlos have been really quick, but here are some more things to look for:
    - the two new past forms /t/ and /d/
    - What is a "payphone"? (remember how I like you to explain, not translate)
    - some unadvisable language they use... but which you should know too.

  8. A payphone is a public telephone from which you can communicate with other persons around the world, but you have to insert coins before (nowadays, you can pay with a card too). The prize of the telephone call depends on where you call, for example, if you call to your friend in Spain is cheaper than if you call a friend in Australia. As far as I am concerned, I don't like using payphones but I have to say that it's a good invention for people who don't have telephones in their home, it's so practical!

    A payphone is a public telephone, often located in a telephone booth or a privacy hood. If you want to use it you will insert money (usually coins), a credit or debit card, or a telephone card.Payphones are very common in England as we can see in the picture you have behind. When last year I went to London a took a photo with one of this popular payphone.
