Clothes related idioms and other expressions



 At the end of unit 2A we looked at some idioms related to items of clothing.

Here you have two texts you can read and listen to, where most of those idioms are mentioned (and a few more).

What idiom would you relate this picture to? 

When in context, everything is much easier to be learnt!

Notice the American accent of the reader, and thus, some changes in the vocabulary, for example PANTS instead of TROUSERS...

CLICK!

Please, leave a comment, trying to use one of the idioms seen so far and aswering the question below the photo ;-)

Enjoy your weekend!

You do, don't you?... I don't... (Unit 1B)


 LET'S REVISE A BIT MORE on the different uses of AUXILIARY VERBS!

For echo questions, remember:
 Just 'echo' the statement with the appropriate auxiliary verb + a personal pronoun.

A: I've been to Seville.
B: Have you?
A: I can't drive.
B:Can't you?
A: I know him well.
B: Do you?
A: My sister is an architect...
B:Is she?
A:  My dog is so funny!
B: Is it?
A: David  loves birds.
B: Does he?
A: I should go now
B: Should you? Why?

How would you DISAGREE to these statements?
