♫ And now, what about practicing with Paul McCartney? :) ♪
"Simple as That" was written by Paul Mc Cartney.
Lyrics | MetroLyrics
I know it isn't easy to refuse
A lot of thoughts are flying through your head
Tell me this before you have to choose
Would you rather be alive or dead?
It's as simple as that
Would you rather be alive or dead
It's as simple as that, it's so simple
It makes you wanna cry
They ask you if you wanna join in
You linger for a minute or so
Well, now's a perfect time to begin
Are you gonna say yes or no?
It's as simple as that
Are you gonna say yes or no?
It's as simple as that, it's so simple
It makes you wanna cry
And if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
Yes, if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
It's harder when you start to get 'round
I want you to remember what I said
I know you never like to let them down
But would you rather be alive or dead?
It's as simple as that
Would you rather be alive or dead?
It's as simple as that, it's so simple
It makes me wanna cry
Yes, if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
And if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
Would you rather be alive or dead?
Would you rather be alive or dead?
Would you?
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
And if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
Yes, if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
Sometimes it's so hard to memorize them or even understand their meaning, isn't?
According to Aaron, from Phrase Mix, "You have to learn phrasal verbs if you want to sound natural in English. English speakers use phrasal verbs all the time. They give our language color and life." (Aaron also teaches a new way to learn them, which by the way, it´s great. I´m going to try it. Click here to check it out. \o/ \o/ \o/)
Many times I used to be frustrated for not mastering this topic. :( :( But yesterday, I changed my mind. :) :) . I figured out that even Americans mix them up!! Yeah... it´s true!! Take a look at this funny video from Josh Sundquist (a Paralympian, a bestselling author and motivational speaker who has an amazing youtube channel).
Before watch the video, if you don´t know what "pull up" means, here it comes:
Phrasal Verb: Pull up
Meaning: Slow and stop a car
Example: The cab PULLED UP outside my house and I got out.
I always try to study English by using something relaxing. Today, I was reviewing the second conditional and that reminded me of a famous Madonna's song : Holiday :) :)
I suggest that you take a song that you really like and something that you can easily memorize. Then, whenever you need to use the second conditional and have some doubt, remember the song. That will remind you of the correct way to use it. And, it will be easier to make your own sentence. ;)
I do know how difficult is to start reading books in English, isn't? Especially if your level is basic. So, how about doing that with comics? I remember when I was a little girl and my father used to buy many comics in Portuguese for me. Thus, I took a liking to reading. :) :)
According to the Macmillan Dictionary, "update" is a verb that you use"to add the most recent information to something", "to tell someone the most recent news or information about something" or "to make something more modern".
Let´s try to use it !
1) If you need to ask someone for an update:
Can you give me an update on what´s happening with... ?
