Hello !
I saw in top of the video: "Rob talks about the verb 'like' and different ways of making suggestions." I think it's a mistake, don't I ? Rob talks about the verb "look".
All the best !

PS:: Very interesting video ! Thanks a lot !

Hi
could you please tell me why we put "a" before "go" in the second sentences in Task 3?

Kirk's picture Kirk replied on Spain

Hello ramez ba,

'go' can be used as a noun to mean 'try', so 'have a go' is an expression that means 'try'. You can find example sentences in the dictionary if you look up 'go' and scroll down until you find the entry for 'go' as a noun.

All the best,
Kirk

hi,

what does : " This room looks like a a hurricane hit it!" means in task 1? (I don't understand" hurricane hit it"

Peter M.'s picture Peter M. replied on Poland

Hi gillesparis,

This idiom means that the room was a complete mess and not tidy at all.

 

Best wishes,

Peter
