Gérard like the plastic cutlery, paper cups and paper plates, I would love to throw laundry away and buy lots of new clothes.

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Doesn't "throw away" mean waste and damage our planet... I'm surprised by your words Muriel. I was seeing you as green as Mr CetelemMurielB a écrit:Gérard like the plastic cutlery, paper cups and paper plates, I would love to throw laundry away and buy lots of new clothes.

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Gérard I said "I would love" but I didn't say "I did". There is a big difference isn't it ?

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
I'd say it's ambiguous.

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Gérard I suppose that she should have said "what's on television". Her husband answered "dust" because she asked "What's on the television"

Muriel, I delayed my response because I needed to check.MurielB a écrit:Gérard I suppose that she should have said "what's on television". Her husband answered "dust" because she asked "What's on the television"
No, "What's on the TV" doesn't specifically mean we're speaking about teh TV set; it's similar to "What's on TV?".
In other words, to the question "What's on TV?", the answer could also be "dust!"
You will notice the cautious French making a difference between "qu'est-ce qu'il y a à la télé ?" and "qu'est-ce qu'il y a sur la télé ?"

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Gérard I thought that the definite article was used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular. In that example it is a definite television with dust on it. Don't you think ?Gérard a écrit:What's on the TV" doesn't specifically mean we're speaking about teh TV set

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Yes but if I chose to delay for checking, it was to know about true English because the answer wouldn't have been funny (just logical).MurielB a écrit:Gérard I thought that the definite article was used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular.

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
John, Sam and Abe, 3 retired friends,would get together every night, rain or shine, to play poker. It was a nice way to pass the time and the men enjoyed it immensely.
John’s wife wasn’t so fond of her husband’s poker playing. She thought it was a dirty and low way to fill his time, but she had long ago resigned herself to her sorry fate, although inside of her, there was always a low flame on the back burner waiting to erupt.
One Wednesday night, after a few nights of boring games, something exciting happened.
Sam watched in amusement as John and Abe, each convinced that they had the better hand, slowly put their life savings into the pot.
Things started to get really intense when John, running out of available cash, added his car and house into the pot. When there was no money left to bet on, they each showed their cards.
As soon as John saw Abe’s cards and realized he had lost, he had a heart attack and died. “Sam,” asked Abe “how are we going to tell his wife?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it” Abe replied.
Abe knocked on John’s door.
“John just lost all of your life savings in a poker game,” said Sam when the door was opened.
“He’s afraid to come home.”
John’s wife was fuming “HE DID WHAT?!” She screamed.
“TELL HIM I DON’T WANT TO EVER SEE HIS FACE AGAIN! TELL HIM TO JUST DROP DEAD!”
“OK,” said Sam nodding his head, “I’ll tell him just that!”

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
“Mum, Dad, sit down. I have something very important to tell you,” said Samantha, upon her return home from college after graduation. “I met a guy who lives near the college that I really like and we decided we are going to get married!”
“Oh Samantha! I am so happy for you!” Gushed her Mum giving her a big hug, “I hope you two will be really happy together! I can’t wait to meet him!”
“Tell us more about him” said her Dad, “does he have any money?”
“Oh Dad! Is that all you men ever think about? That was the first question he asked me about you too!”

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Apart the nasty words to me, we can notice:
- "labor" is similar to word we use in French
- "feel like" doesn't always means like in "What do you feel like for lunch" but rather like in "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child".
