Understand Real English: Famous Lines from Movies

You’ve studied a long time but still can’t understand everything a native speaker says? That’s because understanding English is not all about grammar and vocabulary; it’s also about cultural references. In this class, we look at famous movie lines used to create an image in a listener’s mind. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” or “we’re not in Kansas anymore” are familiar expressions to native speakers but usually confuse English learners. Use the Force to overcome this challenge.

Obi-wan has taught you well! Good day, Adam! Thank you for the nicely lesson.

This is probably not correct one:
“nicely lesson” = adverb + noun

Adjective should be used with noun:
“nice lesson” = adjective + noun

Adverb is used with verb:
“nicely done” = adverb + verb

General rule:
– adjective describes noun
– adverb describes verb

That is correct, Rokaly ;)

Someone is nagging you like: “You should clean the desk, turn off the radio,…”

You can say: “Hasta la vista, baby.” and leave. It was used in movie “Terminator 2”. Actually it is in Spanish, like “Goodbye” or “Bye-Bye” or “See you later”.

This expression can be pretty rude.

Thanks Adam. But the thumb didn’t appear on my screen as usual so I couldn’t click Like.
