Last week a friend told me he got a cold.
How did your kind, wise English teacher reply?
Did I give him my sympathy, my understanding or maybe some health advice?
No.
I bragged.
I told him, “I haven’t been sick since October.”
Well, guess what happened to me yesterday….
SUMMERTIME SICK
It’s not difficult.
But a lot of students make mistakes when they describe their illnesses.
For example, what’s the difference between a cold and the flu?
What’s the correct way to use both in a sentence?
And let’s add one more useful sick word to your vocab: a bug.
What does that mean?
Share your guesses in the comments and I’ll explain tomorrow.
Cheers,
Mr. Vig
