I wonder how many of you have seen this comedy series popular in the 70s. Oh, it probably will never see the light of day now because almost certainly it'll be deemed politically incorrect. It still makes me laugh my head off after all these years. Now, I'm British, though not born British but rather a 'naturalised' British (strange word, that - as though I wasn't 'natural' before that!). If there's one thing I can say about the British, it's that they're a bunch of people who can laugh at themselves, and the series is really about people being able to laugh at themselves. If you enjoy it, I suggest you look for the dvds. Great teacher and great students! LoL
Students...can you spot the mistake(s) Ali made?
ReplyDeleteIt is an funny form to learn English
ReplyDelete1) Why 'an', Jesus? 2) 'way' sounds more natural than 'form' and 3) rather than the to infinitive, we'd use 'for' + gerund:
ReplyDeleteIt is a funny way of learning English.
That would be grammatically correct. But remember, 'funny' = gracioso and 'fun' = divertido. So,perhaps you'd prefer to say: It is a fun way of learning English, or It is an enjoyable way...
Finally, did you spot the major grammatical error Ali made?

ReplyDeleteThat's better.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that but is it usuall in europ to taik about sex in class,and with teacher?
ReplyDelete<span>nasl, I'd say it much depends. In the proper context, sure. One may need to explain how AIDS is spread or how pregnancy can be avoided, for example.
