Episode 64 – Halloween Special ?

Do you want to hear a terrible explanation of the history of HALLOWEEN? ? Well you’ve come to the right place! ? In addition, there is talk about STABBING ?️, Michael Jackson ?, animals on heads ? and so much RnR vocabulary it’s scary…

How are you getting on with autumn?
It’s bloody cold here at the moment
That jumper was a rip off
I’m watching you like a hawk
I don’t know why the episodes aren’t on iTunes, I’ll have to look into it
People call me snake hips
The two worlds become blurred
The name Halloween comes from Hallow’s Eve
When Halloween went to America is when things went downhill
Trick or treat
What would you have done if they had stabbed you?
I glazed over as you were speaking
It’s a pet hate of mine when 17 year olds come to the door and say trick or treat
How can we understand if they are 12 or 13? It’s a grey area
In the old days people used to….
Surely the dog is on a LEASH
Have you ever dressed up for a party?
I was the only person in fancy dress

…just try to keep CALM and just try to keep on ROCKIN’ baby ?

RnR Grammar

We had some third conditional today, so what else could we use for RnR Grammar except that?!

I would like to highlight a very small grammar point though, notice how Dan said:

“What would you have done if they had stabbed you?”

See how it is different when I write it the other way round:

“If they had stabbed you, what would you have done?”

Can you see the difference? It’s very small I know, but you’ll notice that in the first one there is no comma ( , ). When the if clause comes first… then we need a comma! It may seem like a small things, but all these small things together make the difference between a good speaker of English and an advanced speaker of English! ?
