Swallowed by a Fish!

[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life.  Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”

Hello, my name is Miss Barb!  Welcome to Lifeline English, the podcast that helps you know God and know English.

You can read the written script for today’s lesson online at lifelineenglish.com.

Today I want to teach you teach you three words.

The first word is punish.  To punish means to make someone suffer because they did something wrong.  Criminals like thieves and drug dealers are punished by being put in prison.  Very bad crimes like rape and murder may be punished by death.

The next word is spit.  To spit means to force something out of your mouth.  We spit out watermelon seeds when we eat watermelon.  After you brush your teeth, you spit out the toothpaste.

Who's to Blame?

Today I want to teach you teach you three new words.

Do you know what “dice” are?  Dice are six-sided cubes.  Usually they are made of plastic or wood.  One side of the cube has one dot on it, another side has two dots, another side three dots, and so on… up through six dots.  People often use dice when they play games.  The dice choose a number between one and six.  A person rolls the dice, but the person does not know what number will be on top of the dice until the dice stops moving. 

The second word is “rough”.  Rough is the opposite of smooth.  Something that is rough has a surface that is bumpy or uneven.  Sandpaper is rough.  A cat’s tongue is rough.  The bark of a tree is rough.  An apple is not rough.

Today I want to teach you teach you several words.

The first word is “lie”.  “To lie” means to say something that is not true.  The boy lied to his mother.  He told her that he had not taken any cookies.  The past tense of “lie” is “lied”.  The politician lied to the television reporter.  But “lie” can also mean “to be in a flat position on a surface” (like a bed or the ground).  I usually lie on my side when I am in bed.  The phone is lying on the table.  The past tense of this “lie” is “lay”.  The snow lay on the ground until April this year.

“Lay” is also a present tense verb in English.  This “lay” means “to place”.  For example, we lay clean plates on the table before we eat.  He is laying your clothes on your bed.  I laid your wallet on your chair last night.
