SESSION 2:
CAN YOU HANDLE A STICK?...
Standards and automatics...?
(careful! ADJECTIVES HAVE NO PLURAL, but in this case I'm nominalizing them, standard or automatic cars I meant.
If you can't, you will very soon! It's all about...driving. Watch this funny road scene from TV series Friends.
In this video you can also see the use of TONE while flirting. Yes, flirting.
Flirting is an important language function, sometimes difficult to detect by foreign non-native speakers. A language function explains why someone says something. But communication is much more than using WORDS.
1. So, how to detect somebody is flirting? Analysing body language, the tone of voice and type of speech. Draw a three-column chart and write examples from the video under each column. 2. Why doesn't it work in the case of Ross? What did he do wrong?
3. Think of a situation where you were utterly misunderstood and how tone or body language was one of the problems.
SESSION 3:
Multi-word verbs
Multi-word verbs are verbs that consist of more than one word...simple, innit???
There are three types of multi-word verbs:
prepositional verbs,
phrasal verbs,
phrasal-prepositional verbs
Many multi-word verbs serve an idiomatic purpose. This means that they should not be taken literally; rather, they have a figurative or metaphorical meaning.
Examples:
Run into means “encounter”: I ran into an old friend at the reunion.
Come by means “visit”: She came by the store this morning.
Put up with means “tolerate”: I shouldn’t have to put up with this nonsense.
You will have to memorize the idiomatic meanings of most multi-word verbs in order to learn how to use them.
Prepositional Verbs
Prepositional verbs consist of a main verb and a preposition that links a noun or pronoun to other words in a sentence. Prepositions show relationships (often in logic, space, or time) and introduce a prepositional phrase, which consists of the preposition and an object. I ran into + my roommate on my way to class.
object
Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs consist of a main verb and a particle. A particle is a function word that does not have meaning on its own and depends on the main verb to have meaning. Our car broke down on the way home from Tulsa. "down" is not a preposition because there's no object
Phrasal-prepositional Verbs
Phrasal-prepositional verbs consist of a main verb, a particle, and a preposition—in that order. The attendees grew restless when they learned we had run out of pizza.
verb+particle+preposition+object In this example, run is the main verb, out is the particle, and of is the preposition which introduces the prepositional phrase of pizza.
