7.+VIEW+A+VIDEO

Every month I'll put a new video clip on here for you to watch.

This week American vs British English watch Hugh Laurie and Ellen try to work out expressions from eachothers country.

Before you watch try to think of some expressions that you know that are typically British (well English because Hugh is English) or typically American

After you watch answer the following questions you may need to use a dictionary:

What does showing off mean? What does to rub it in mean? What does chinwag mean? What does blundering mean? What does tied mean? What does ba-donka-donk mean? What does curvacious mean? What does behind mean in this video? What does chuffed to bits mean?

Video 2 - Conditionals

Before watching the video try to think of ways to complete these sentences...

If I never had a cent... If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe... If my true love he was gone.... If I get locked up tonight... If I can't have you If you go... If you don't know me by now.... If I knew you were coming.... If I were a boy... If you leave me now...

These are all lines from well-known songs can you guess any of the artists?

Ok now watch the video and see if you can identify the conditional being used.
