Fairytale

-



This song is a good way to reinforce tenses. The first verse is express an action that has happened in the past so it has to be in simple past tense. I marked on the lyrics that include past tenses with bold and the simple present tenses with italic.

Years ago, when I was younger.
I kinda liked a girl I knew.
She was mine and we were sweethearts.
That was then but then it's true.

I'm in love with a fairytale.
Even though it hurts.
Cause I don't care if I lose my mind.
I'm already cursed.

Every day we started fighting.
Every night we fell in love.
No one else could make me sadder.
But no one else could lifts me high above.
I don't know what I was doing.
But suddenly we fell apart.


Listen carefully once again and pay attention to the usage of tenses. If you listen to this song more than once, You will be kept on saying with melody and you will never forget it. Learning information with songs guarantees a high degree of permanence.

Too Good At Goodbyes

I have chosen some parts of the lyrics and I will show the structures they contain in this beautiful song. Did you think that you would know a lot of information when listening to Sam Smith? Deduction With Must You must think that I'm stupid. You must think that I'm a fool. You must think that I'm new to this but I have seen this all before. “Too” + an adjective + “infinitive form” is used. The meaning of the sentence is negative. I'm never gonna let you close to me, even though you mean the most to me. Because every time I open up, it hurts So I'm never gonna get too close to you -- I'm way too good at goodbyes.     (To be skillful at something.) -- Comperatives But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry. And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry. And every time you walk out, the less I love you.

Somebody That I Used To Know

Although this song is a bit sad, there is a lot to learn. Now we are focusing the vocabulary and phrases. While listening to the song by repeating and following the lyrics you can ensure the permanence of information. Let's look at the lyrics. You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, (physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance) (Kind of is u sed to say that your description of something is not exact.) like resignation to the end, always the end.         (Departure) So when we found that we could not make sense ,                                             (To have a clear meaning) well, you said that we would s till be friends .                                      (This is a common use.) But I'll admit that I was glad ...
