Tricky Girl- Vocabulary Lesson

Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for “A kiss”.

OK, Let’s start…

Carlos buys a new car. It’s very expensive. It’s a huge, blue, fast car.

“Huge”, huge means very very big, super big. So, it’s huge, huge. Huge means very very big, very very very big. It’s a very very very big car. It’s a huge car. OK.

While driving down the street, he sees a girl. So “ While” means at the same time. Same time, driving down the street, seeing the girl – same time. They happen at the same time. So while driving down the street, Carlos sees a girl on a bicycle.

OK, he yells to her: What’s up? “What’s up” is a common way to say hello. We say “ what’s up, what’s up”. It’s very popular to say: what’s up? So instead of saying “ hello” , if you have a friend, you see your friend, someone you know, you say “what’s up?” When I see my friends, sometimes I say : what’s up. It means “hello” or ”How are you” – what’s up… what’s up?

So Carlos says “what’s up” to the girl but she ignores him.

To ignore means you don’t listen to someone and you don’t pay attention to someone. You don’t look at them. You don’t listen to them. That’s ignore.

Say “he ignored her“ means he did not listen to her. He did not look at her. He ignored her or ignores (present : ignores). She ignores Carlos. She does not look at Carlos. She does not listen to Carlos. She ignores him.

And then Carlos yells “How’s it going?” How’s it going…How’s it going means How are you. How are you. We often say “how’s it going or how’s it goin. The last sound “g” sometimes “g”, going, going. Sometime no “g” sound: goin… goin… goin. It’s the same meaning, the same, just different pronunciation. So “How’s it going” means “How are you”.

So he yells to her “how’s it going”. She keeps walking and ignores him. Keeps, here “keeps” means continues. Keep has another meaning. Keep can mean something else. But here, in this article: keeps means continues. continues. She continues walking. She keeps walking. OK, keeps and continues. So she keeps walking and she ignores him.

He yells “hey, why won’t you talk to me?”

OK, won’t means will not. “Why will you not talk to me” is what he saying but in normal speech, normal speaking, we don’t say “will not”. We usually say “won’t”. “I won’t go to the store” means I will not go to the store (and it’s future, right future). So he asks her “why won’t you talk to me?” – Why will you not talk to me?

And he says “I want to go to dinner with you”. OK. he wants a date. He wants to go to a restaurant with her. He says: “I’ll take you to an expensive restaurant, not a cheap restaurant, right?“ He wants to take her to an expensive restaurant.

Finally the girl turns and looks at him and she says: “I don’t want to go to dinner.“ But she says: “if you give me your car, I will give you a surprise.“ Oh, give me your car and I will give you a surprise. So “if you give me your car” – so he has to do that first, the first action. And then, if that happens, then she will give him a surprise.

Carlos says: OK because she is beautiful. He jumps out of the car. He gives her the keys and he says: “here are the keys“. OK, here are the keys. We usually say : here… here is the book, here are the keys. We say: “here is“ or “here are“ when we give something to someone, here is the key. here is the money, here are the keys…

OK, so Carlos gives the keys to the beautiful blond girl. The beautiful blond girl takes the keys and then kisses Carlos on the cheek. Cheek is the side of your face, right?

So she kisses Carlos on the side of his face on the cheek… OK, just on the cheek.

Then she jumps into the car and drives away… Carlos stands on the sidewalk. Sidewalk is next to the street, right? It’s where people walk. So the street, the street is for cars, cars and buses only and the sidewalk next to the street, right? Sidewalk where people walk. Side of the street.

OK, so he stands on the sidewalk. And now he has no car and no girl. He says: “that’s it, just a kiss on the cheek“. OK, that’s it…. THAT’S IT… That’s it means: there is no more.

There is nothing more. Nothing more is coming, nothing more to get, nothing more to do. So basically means finished. So he says “that’s it“ , it means he only got a kiss, he will not get more from her, he will not get something else, only a kiss. That’s it . sometimes we say: that’s all… that’s all – same meaning. that’s all or that’s it means totally finished.

In a restaurant you will use this. When you finish eating, the waiter or the waitress will come and ask you: Do you want something else? Do you want more food. Do you want more drinks? OK. If you’re finished, you say: that’s it…that’s it means we are finished eating. We don’t want more food. We don’t want more drinks. Right? We are finished. Bring the check. Bring the bill. So at the end, when you finish eating in the restaurant, tell the waiter: that’s it, right, means you’re finished.

OK and then, he says: “that’s it, just a kiss on the cheek“. Then he gets on her bike - He gets on the girl’s bicycle. Bicycle or bike are the same. and he rides home. Poor Carlos.

OK, that’s it, that’s it. The lesson is finished. The vocabulary lesson is finished. That’s it .
