Thank you so much for letting me into your inbox this morning! YOU ROCK! How has your Monday been going so far? Hope it\u2019s been great, and let me make it even greater by leaving your inbox with some fun free English treats today!<\/p>\n<p><strong>HAVE FUN &amp; LEARN WITH KATY PERRY AND THE MAN IN BLACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How about doing a fun little exercise to improve your English RIGHT NOW (well, a few seconds after now, you have to finish reading this first)? Let\u2019s check out how the Past Simple form is used in 2 great songs. This form (I went, you studied, she saw, etc.) is used to describe things that are over, finished, or history. Katy Perry uses it very well in her hit \u2018Last Friday Night\u2019, describing her memories of a party, and Johnny Cash nails it with his evergreen \u2018A Boy Named Sue\u2019, when he describes his childhood. I\u2019d like you to zoom in on how the Past Simple form is used in these songs \u2013 it\u2019s used a lot, as they both describe something that has already finished.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the videos here: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-krtlkyd-wtttrlhhi-e\/\">Katy<\/a> en <a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-krtlkyd-wtttrlhhi-s\/\">Johnny<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Listen to Katy\u2019s chorus, for example \u2013 \u2018Yeah we <strong>danced<\/strong> on table tops and we<strong> took<\/strong> too many shots\u2026.\u2019 See how the verbs are used in the Past Simple Tense? She uses this form because she is describing a situation that is over \u2013 it all happened last Friday night (as much as she can remember). What other verbs can you find in this tense as you listen along? Write them down. Now check them with the lyrics here \u2013 see how well you did!<\/p>\n<p>Katy\u2019s lyrics are <a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-krtlkyd-wtttrlhhi-g\/\">hier<\/a> en <a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-krtlkyd-wtttrlhhi-w\/\">heeeere\u2019s<\/a> Johnny<\/p>\n<p>The next time you listen to a song, really LISTEN to hear not just WHAT they are saying, but HOW they are saying it. By training your ear to recognize and zoom in on certain verbs it will activate your English in a really fun way. It will also give you a deeper appreciation for music AND English!<\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE AWESOME APP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an awesome app out there that I just had to share with you, my darling. It\u2019s free, fun, and fabulous! It\u2019s called \u2018Dictionary.com\u2019 and it\u2019s also linked to \u2018Thesaurus.com.\u2019 Download it! It takes a few minutes, it\u2019s quite a heavy app, you might need to connect to WIFI to do it but you\u2019ll be glad you did. They have a \u2018word of the day\u2019 button and you can find new words easily and the best part is you can use it OFFLINE! This means if you have a smartphone your English is going to be smart all the time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>BACK TO SCHOOL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are involved in education and are interested in Rocking Your English! at your fine, fine school, don\u2019t hesitate to contact me for a free consultation about how we can make the English (department) at your school even more awesome!
