VERSIONS


Sometimes you hear songs that are not new.
They are versions. How do you call them now????


LADY   is one of them

You can  look at the original video and see the differences in clothes, relationships, styles... It was first released at the beginning of the 21st century, a different time.


Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (Official Video)            WIKIPEDIA HERE


This is the new version with lyrics added by Pitbull. 

Can you write some differences in the TONE of both songs?

Some of the lyrics in this version are explicit, not so in the original one. 

Language in the songs are different too.

ED SHEERAN. Shape of you

The club isn't the _____________ place to find a lover
So the bar is ___________ I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and ______________ a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like

  
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was _________________ for somebody like me          
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me

Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
                                                  I'm in love with the shape of you
                                                  We push and pull like a ____________ do
                                                   Although my heart is falling too
                                                   I'm in love with your body
                                                   And last night you were in my room
                                                   And now my ________________ smell like you
                                                   Every day discovering something _______________ new

                                                   I'm in love with your body
                                                   Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
                                                   I'm in love with your body

                                                   I'm in love with the shape of you
One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can _____________
Fill up your bag and I fill up a _______________
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing like
                                                             Girl, you know I want your love
                                                              Your love was _______________ for somebody like me
                                                              Come on now, follow my lead
                                                               I may be crazy, don't mind me
                                                              Say, boy, let's not talk too much
                                                              Grab on my waist and put that body on me
                                                              Come on now, follow my lead
                                                               Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm in love with the shape of you .............

Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

What happens IF.......


Download the PDF for grammar explanation

We are always trying to guess what would happen if this or that were true.... We use a lot of conditional sentences. If you want to discover how easy it is, just think about the possibility something has to happen in the real world:

the closer to the present time, the more possible    If I study, I`ll pass all my final tests

the farther to the present time, the less possible      If I had studied, I would have passed all my 2nd term tests

Now use an example of real people,

people you know    
 If my mother asks me, I always answer the truth

people you don't have contact with  

If I were Merkel's son , I would always be true to her

people who are dead
 If I had been Marylin, I would have never taken pills

Have you noticed that we use past tenses for not possible situations?
Are you aware that present tenses are used for possible situations?



  • What's odd in "I were"? Is it not " I was"?  We use "were" in the second conditional for all the forms of the verb "to be"
  • Sometimes we change the structure of the sentences, ussually with interrogative sentences.
             Would you have taken pills if you had been Marilyn Monroe?

              in these cases we don't write any commas


  • Remember that IF+NOT= UNLESS. This word can be used with any of the conditional sentences
  • you have to review the most used verb tenses with conditionals
