IDIOM OF THE WEEK

above board

Meaning:

If something is above board, it’s been done in a legal and honest way.

For example:

I’m sure the deal was completely above board as I know James well and he’d never do anything illegal or corrupt.

The minister claimed all the appointments were above board and denied claims that some positions had been given to his friends.

Origin:

Possibly derived from card playing and the fact that card players who keep their hands above the table (or above “the board”) can be seen to be playing honestly, without cheating.

English Grammar: How to use “to” before an “-ing” verb

In this lesson, I explain how and when we use to before a verb with the -ing ending. The use of to before an -ing verb is not always correct. But it is correct in a particular case to express an emotion or action happening in the present referring to a past or future event. If this sounds complicated, have no fear! It is a simple structure once you understand how it works. And if you do our quiz at the end, you will get used to using this concept in no time!

Do I Wanna Know? – Arctic Monkeys

Have you got colour in your cheeks?

Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the type

That sticks around like something in your teeth

Are there some aces up your sleeve

Have you no idea that you’re in deep?

I’ve dreamt about you nearly every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?

‘Cause there’s this tune I’ve found

That makes me think of you somehow

And I play it on repeat

Until I fall asleep

Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Sort of hoping that you’d stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things

That you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever though of calling when you’ve had a few?

‘Cause I always do

Maybe I’m too

Busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I’ve thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?

Been wondering if your heart’s still open

And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

Simmer down and pucker up

I’m sorry to interrupt

It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying

To kiss you

I don’t know if you

Feel the same as I do

But we could be together

If you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Sort of hoping that you’d stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things

That you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever though of calling when you’ve had a few?

‘Cause I always do

Maybe I’m too

Busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I’ve thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Sort of hoping that you’d stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying things

That you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)

Too busy being yours to fall

(Sad to see you go)

Ever though of calling, darling?

(Do I wanna know?)

Do you want me crawling back to you?
