The end of a long week.
Yesterday, I was teaching a student about the 3rd conditional, and it went something like this:
"Who is your favorite singer?" "Britney Spears."
"Okay, and what can you tell me about her?" "She's crazy. Umm, she has two children."
"Does she still see them?" "No."
"Why" "Cause she...um.. she smo...uh" (girl gestures to nose)
"Ah, okay, you mean she was snorting cocaine! Yes, snorting. Okay, so can you give me a sentence in the 3rd conditional using that information?" "Okay...:
If Britney Spears hadn't snorted cocaine, she wouldn't have lost her children."
If had(n't) + v3 -> would(n't) + have + v3
It's been almost 5 months and I still think it's funny that I am a teacher.
And it's also funny that I managed to pull off getting accepted to a Hebrew speaking university.
I can translate the homework and all my notes at home, but I don't know what the hell is going to happen come time for the exams... I'm taking Phonetics and Linguistics, and now I know all of the Hebrew words for every part of the mouth.
Anyway, Hi.
