Elliot ~ June 21 ~ June 27 /2011

We will continue the story of Elliot.  This week, he will get jealous of Raoul and he will discover that his wife is cheating on him.  Poor guy!

Have done something / Have someone do something
Of course this recently learned grammar will appear a few times in the story.
eg.
She is having Raoul teach her English.
She is having English taught to her.

Elliot had his friends spy on Alison.
Elliot had Alison spied on.


He was so ______ that he __________
so ~ that … 構文の意味は、「あまりに(大変)~なので…」です。
so ~ that … 構文の~には形容詞や副詞、…の部分にはthatは接続詞なので節(1つの主語と動詞の組からなる文)がきます。

以下のso ~ that … 構文をみてみましょう。
I am so tired that I can't walk. 「私は、大変疲れているので歩けません。」
eg.
Elliot was so jealous that he squeezed the bottle and water came out.
Elliot was so jealous that his hands were shaking.
Elliot was so jealous that he ripped off his moustache.

*Like hell / as hell
It hurt so much.
It hurt a lot.
It hurt like hell.
like hell = "すごく”~combine this with verbs
as hell= "すごく”~combine this with adjectives

So / Too / Either / Neither
We will review and continue to use this recently learned grammar
Alison's English level has progressed.
So has mine.
Mine has, too.

On?= can show a consequence to another person
Pattern:  verb + on + noun
We were on vacation and my brother got sick on us.
Please don't fall asleep on me.  I want you to keep me company.
I will tell on you to the teacher.

Typical verbs used with this pattern:
die, cheat, faint, fall asleep, get sick, rat, tattle, tell

Divorce and cheating
If your husband cheated on you, what would you do?
What percentage of Americans get divorced?
Is the divorce rate in Japan higher or lower than in America?
Why do people get divorced?
Which prefecture has the highest divorce rate?

And more.....!
Good Luck!
