Hi Alex, you’re a great teacher. I understant perfectly what you say because you say cleary and calmly

pedro

Very interesting iam going to use them in my day life and why not to my students in Greece .With the financial crisis in our country the majority of the Greeks live the dog’s life nowadays

dorapap

I’m agree with Pedro’s say. This lesson was very useful for me. thank you.

sanosuken

I tried tO study more , because i never hear that expressions of slang thanks Alex

albertblue

I agree with you teacher. I cannot think about “it’s a dog life” as a awful, difficult situation. Dogs have an easy life. I wish i was a dog.

Damn! 6 out of 7. I don’t understand what it’s “dog eat dog”, and not “eats”. I assume it’s subjunctive but I don’t understand why

It is amazing, thanks, please continue with this project.

YP

Alex,thanks a lot for your job! I’ve also seen such exp “TOP DOG”, e.g.“I don’t care about being top dog. I just want to do the best I can.” My question is: can it be used positively or negatively talking about a person? Thx)))

Mr. Alex I like your teaching procedure. Tanks to you & all others teacher & also tanks to engvid group. Please could you check my sentence which I have written about this lesson below? & please send me a feed back to me at my e-mail anutosh.guha@rediffmail.com.

Sham & I were going to a tour for last weekend; you have known that Sham is loaded. We were visiting a casino & Sham played the casino game. At that time he was so crazy & spent all the money at the casino, then he was totally broke. After that we were going to a restaurant & ordered two hamburgers. My hamburger was fresh but Sham found an insect inside the hamburger. I told him “don’t worry your hamburger is on the house”. Then I called a waiter & showed him Sham’s hamburger & he changed that. After finished the eat Sham told me “I am very sorry, I’m broke. Please pay up the bill”. I told him “don’t worry about it Sham, I will pick up the tab”

anutoshguha

Well done… Good luck Alex…

silemos

Thanks Alex, It was wonderful lesson as always and I score 100 again ;)
I just have a question: Is the “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” idiom rude or not? I mean can we use it everywhere for everyone?

aida29

Pedro mpela

Hi Alex good lesson thanks

dukuray

I was wondering if I say that you are the top dog to someone, it’s polite or not? Maybe someone doesn’t like this kind of metaphor. Or it’s a kind of humor? Please advise, thanks!

KK

tnX Teacher Alex :)

nastaran12

ghazal10

I just love it. after learning that, i would be able to express my situation now. In this dog eat dog world, in order to become a top dog, i have to fight like a dog even though sometimes i am sick as a dog. i am a old dog,which means people thought i was not be taught new tricks, but i still believe every dog has it’s day.

GR8! TNX a lot.

mohsensafarei

eunju7856

Thank you for very interesting lesson.

vlelena

I got 6 correct out of 7. I didn’t know about dog idioms at all. So I had fun. Thank you for your interesting lesson :)
BTW, I failed the last question. Why don’t you use plural form? “Dog__dog.” Dog is a singular form, isn’t it?
If “dogs__dog”, I answered “dogs eat dog.” Could you tell us the reason, please?

Young Kyung Lee

The problem in Indo-Pak is that dog is considered as an inferior animal. It’s very much insulting if you call someone dog. People will laugh when I would say that my grandfather is sick as a dog.
Similarly, When I say, “you are sick. I have a feeling that it sound’s rude.
I request you to please make a lecture to clarify this and other places where we need to be careful. Thankyou Alex
