Episode 15 – It’s SPRINGing time!

It’s the first day of SPRING! 🙂 But where does the word SPRING come from? Find out in today’s episode, as well as the best time to buy a house, clean bums, some Spice Girls music and lots of RnR vocabulary such as:

Spring used to be called lent
Lent is the run up to Easter
Flowers were springing up
Normally women leave me in the height of summer
I want to spread my wings
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are wannabe holidays
I’ve chucked some stuff away
If someone came to my flat and washed their bum in my sink
Autumn is where I come into my own
I suffer from hayfever

RnR Grammar

Remember what the past of the verb ‘spring’ is? Probably not, but a good way to remember this is to think of ‘verb families’.

By this, I mean verbs which have the same endings in the past.

For example, the paragdigm of the verb ‘sing’ is ‘sing’, ‘sang’, ‘sung’.

This would be in the same family as the verb ‘spring’, as it has the same endings: ‘spring’, ‘sprang’, ‘sprung’.

Get me?!
