11-20 Absolutely! Here's a breakdown of those phrases, pretending I'm your English teacher: **1. Would you two please stop fighting?** This is a polite way to ask two people to calm down and stop arguing. Imagine on the playground, two friends are yelling and shoving each other. You could say, "Would you two please stop fighting? Maybe you can take turns using the swing." **2. Stop it stop it you don’t know what you are doing. Stop it.** This is a more forceful way to tell someone to stop doing something because they might get hurt or cause trouble. Imagine you see a friend climbing a high tree branch that looks like it might break. You might yell, "Stop it, stop it! You don't know what you're doing! Climb down!" **3. OK OK can we just drop this?** This means to let go of an argument or topic and move on. Imagine you and your friend are talking about a movie you both didn't like. You could say, "Okay, okay, can we just drop this? How about we watch something else?" **4. I'm not gonna smoking again.** This is a way to say you're quitting smoking, but it's not grammatically correct. The correct way to say it is, "I'm not going to smoke again." Imagine you tell your parents you want to be healthy, so you're quitting smoking. You could say, "I'm not going to smoke again, I promise!" **5. Why are you making so much noise man?** This is a way to tell someone to quiet down, but "man" is not very polite. A nicer way to say it would be, "Why are you making so much noise? Can you please be a bit quieter?" Imagine you're in the library and someone is talking loudly on their phone. You could politely ask them to quiet down. **6. I'm sorry I bothered you. I don't like to bother people.** This is a polite way to apologize for interrupting someone or getting in their way. Imagine you accidentally bump into someone in the hallway. You could say, "I'm sorry I bothered you! I didn't see you there." **7. My dear I’m not just old I’m old school.** "My dear" is a bit old-fashioned, but it can be a sweet way to address someone. "Old school" means someone who likes things the way they've always been done. Imagine your grandma tells you she doesn't use a smartphone because she prefers flip phones. She might say, "My dear, I'm not just old, I'm old school. I like my flip phone!" **8. Get with the times. Who run the world?** "Get with the times" means to keep up with current trends or technology. "Who run the world?" is a lyric from a Beyoncé song and kind of a playful way to say that girls are strong and powerful. Imagine your dad is teaching you how to use a new music app. You could say, "Come on dad, get with the times! Everyone uses this app now. Who run the world?" **9. Wow. That jacket looks great on you!** This is a compliment! It's a nice way to tell someone you like their outfit. Imagine your friend is wearing a new colorful jacket. You could say, "Wow, that jacket looks great on you! The colors are awesome!" **10. That’s a cool shirt. You look nice.** This is another compliment about someone's clothes. Imagine your sibling is wearing a funny T-shirt with a cartoon character. You could say, "That's a cool shirt! You look nice in green."

Certainly! When spoken quickly or in informal conversation, words can blend together, creating a connected or linked sound. Here's how some of the phrases from the conversation might sound when connected: 1. "What are you guys doing?" -> "Whatcha guys doin'?" (The "t" in "what" blends with the "ch" in "are" to become "cha," and "you" merges with "guys" to sound like "ya.") 2. "Did you hear what you're saying? Did you hear it?" -> "Didja hear whatcha sayin'? Didja hear it?" (The "d" in "did" blends with "you" to become "ja," and "what" blends with "you're" to become "whatcha.") 3. "Can we discuss this later?" -> "Can we discuss this later?" (This phrase doesn't blend much, but in fast speech, "we" and "discuss" might slightly merge to sound like "we'scuss.") These connected sounds reflect the natural flow of spoken English and are common in informal conversations.

21-30 Sure, let's break down the spoken English phrases from your conversation: 1. "What are you guys doing?" -> In casual speech, "What are you" often contracts to "Whatcha," so it sounds like "Whatcha guys doing?" 2. "Knock it off." -> This is a common phrase meaning to stop doing something annoying or bothersome. 3. "Did you hear what you're saying? Did you hear it?" -> This emphasizes disbelief or incredulity, often used to draw attention to someone's words or actions. 4. "Can we discuss this later?" -> This is a polite way to ask to talk about something at a different time. 5. "I think I'm going to skip it today." -> This means choosing not to do something or participate in an activity. 6. "I don't even want

What does this mean' can you lay off today ? Is it mean not working today or they mean somethingelse

[@librovk1251]

31-34 Certainly! Let's simplify and provide examples: 1. **Can you please lay off today? J.c.**: This means asking someone to stop bothering or teasing you for the day. - Example 1: If your sibling keeps teasing you about your messy room, you might say, "Can you please lay off today? I'm not in the mood." - Example 2: If your friend keeps making jokes about something that happened, you could say, "Hey, can you just lay off today? I'm feeling a bit sensitive." 2. **You are angry? Is that what this is about? You are angry?**: This is someone asking if you're upset or angry about something. - Example 1: If your friend is acting grumpy, you might ask, "Are you angry? Is that why you're being so quiet?" - Example 2: If your sibling is slamming doors and sighing loudly, you could ask, "What's wrong? You are angry? Is it because of something I did?" 3. **Don’t go outside Dad, OK? It’s not safe**: This means warning someone, in this case, your dad, not to go outside because it's dangerous. - Example 1: If there's a thunderstorm outside and your dad is about to leave for work, you might say, "Don't go outside Dad, OK? It's not safe with all the lightning." - Example 2: If there's a loud argument happening in the neighborhood and you're worried about your dad's safety, you could say, "Dad, don't go outside right now, OK? It's not safe with all that yelling." 4. **Why can’t you just leave it at that?**: This means asking someone why they can't stop or be satisfied with what's already been said or done. - Example 1: If your friend keeps arguing even after you've apologized, you might say, "Why can't you just leave it at that? I said I'm sorry." - Example 2: If your sibling keeps adding more chores to your list even though you've finished what was asked, you could say, "Why can't you just leave it at that? I've already done everything you asked."
