I found a love for me
ReplyDeleteDarling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
QUESTIONS
1. The incorrect grammar is ´´Kiss me slow´´, because, after verb, we need put an adverb for describe the verb, not an adjective, so, the correct sentences is: kiss me slowly
2. The phrasal verb that have two meanings is to give sth up. On the one hand, it meaning sto doing something, like a bad habbit, por example, I should to give use lot of time the movile phone up. On the other hand, it meaning to give someone or something, for example in the song, Edd Sheran said that he is not losing hope with the person, he want to keep this romance, por example, I want to give my friendship
3. I have lot of difficulties, but I have pass all the exams againts all odds
My friend Edu said the he doesnt like it underneath her breath
4. I don´t like be barefoot because I hate my foots and I dont wont that nobody see it
I look mess because I am untidy

DeleteHello Arantxa!!
ReplyDeleteI'm Mónica Ferreiro from 1ºA.
1. In the song, they use 'kiss me slow' wrong because after a verb we need an adverb to describe the verb, certainly in British English. So we would need 'kiss me slowly'. Although in American English is much more common to use an adjective to describe a verb.
2.To give something/ somebody up:
-He's traying to give up smoking.
-She love him so much, she won't give him up.
3. - Against all odds, he recovered.
-What are you discussing underneath your breath?
4. -When I spend a lot of time with the computer, I have to pulled my gaze away.
-I'm always barefoot at my house
-When I wake up, I look a mess.
Thanks Monica!
DeletePlease, review the answer in #2 and tell me what you would correct.
Thanks
The correct answer would be: 'She loves him so much, she won't give him up'
DeleteHi Maks!
ReplyDeletePlease check question #2. Hold is not a phrasal verb. I am referring to a verb+ preposition. Check again.
Flores Gloria, 1A:
ReplyDelete1. In the song, Ed Sheeran write a mistake in the part of: " But darling, just kiss me slow". It´s incorrect because "kiss me" is a verb and we need a adverb that describe this verb, and we need to pass "slow" a adverb, adding to it "ing". The correct from is: " But darling, just kiss me slowling.
2. "to whisper" " Say sth under your breath" .
- And he whisper her that she look perfect tonight.
- He say to her under her breath that she look perfect tonight.
3. - We can fight to against all odds for our love.
- She say something underneath my breath, but I didn't listen.
4. - In the morning, I´m a mess.
- When I see my crush, I have my gaze on him.
- I walk barefoot for home.
Hi Gloria!
DeletePlease check the expression "under someone's breath". Remember you have to change then pronoun. E.G. if you are using he ( as the subject) , then it would be under his breath.

3.1
In the phrase: "Darling just kiss me slow" he has a grammatical error since in songs he usually has a failure, in British English "We have kiss" is a verb and to describe it we need an Adverb then we need: "Kiss me Slowly "since" Me slow "is an Adjective and that would describe a noun
3.2
two
To give + Sb / Sth up
Because the first means giving something and the second does not want something
