IDIOM OF THE WEEK

above the law

Meaning: If someone is above the law, they are not subject to the laws of a society.

For example:

Just because his father is a rich and powerful man, he seems to think he’s above the law and he can do whatever he likes.

In a democracy, no-one is above the law – not even a president or a prime-minister.

Mixed Verb Tenses in English: Conditionals and IF clauses

How many verb tenses can you count in the following sentences? “If you practice every day, you will improve. But you also need to know that if you didn’t develop good study habits in the past, you might have trouble in the future.”

There are several verb tenses in this excerpt, and they are all mixed together. But complex sentences like these are what make English a very rich and interesting language. In this challenging lesson, we will look at conditional sentences that mix tenses and even use the verb will in the if clause. Make sure to do the quiz at the end to practice and perfect your understanding of mixed tenses.

Adele – Skyfall

This is the end

Hold your breath and count to ten

Feel the Earth move and then

Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end

I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment

So overdue, I owe them

Swept away, I’m stolen

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all

Together

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all together

At skyfall

At skyfall

Skyfall is where we start

A thousand miles and poles apart

Where worlds collide and days are dark

You may have my number

You can take my name

But you’ll never have my heart

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all

Together

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all together

At skyfall

At skyfall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

At skyfall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

Where you go, I go

What you see, I see

I know I’d never be me

Without the security

Of your loving arms

Keeping me from harm

Put your hand in my hand

And we’ll stand

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all

Together

Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

And face it all

Together

At skyfall

Let the sky fall

We will stand tall

At skyfall
