Episode 51 – How to be a WINNER ?

The RnR English Leadership Referendum results are here! ? We will see who is the WINNER and HOW to be a winner! ? Talk about Dan BRIBING people ?, music at FUNERALS ⛪, car CRASHES ? and lots and lots of RnR vocabulary…

We had a good run with the reviews
I’m on the edge of my seat
What have I learnt? Probably that I will start bribing people
Nearly all the people who voted for you live in Toulouse, is there anything funny going on?
When I drink, it takes me a week to get over it
Accept that life is full of hassles
They carry an enormous speaker and have music blaring out
How do you envisage your death?
And you would have that hanging over you for the next 50 years
Don’t be a tightarse
I’m an competitive person, but with you it’s off the charts
I’m struggling with working hard in France
I use the podcast to vent my anger
I won a teddy bear at a theme park
So has your life been downhill since then?

…just keep calm and keep on ROCKIN’ baby! ???…

RnR Grammar

In today’s show, when we were discussing me sending Dan a message about his plane saying “I hope it’s a terrible flight”, he said:

“you sent me another message to say ‘I don’t want you to die’, but because you were worried that if it did crash, you’d have it hanging over you for the next 50 years”

In this example, why do we use ‘did’? Good question…

This is a second conditional sentence and the emphatic do together, so as it is a second conditional, instead of using ‘do’, obviously we use ‘did’… simple! 🙂
