Re: The Study Group On August 29 (No.1760への返信 / 1階層) - Candyman

Good evening! Takeshi-san

Thank you for letting us.
It's been a long time. I'm going to go to TVC this Saturday.
But I don't know what time I can go there. I’m supposed to participate in OMIKOSHI festival on 5th 6th Sep. I’m concerned about it .Because I’ve never tried it before. I have no choice I bought a HANTEN(HAPPI). It will be taken place at HIKAWA shrine and I have to prepare OMIKOSHI festival on Saturday 29th Aug. I'll tell you If I come there late time.

おまけです・・

Anyway,A jelly fish stung me. I can tell you funny things.
And I already voted a national election last Saturday. It means in advance vote.

Situation: You're talking to your friend about their trip to Walt Disney Word and you want to know the airplane flight time.
In casual conversation which is best?
a) "How long to there?"
b) "How long did it take?"
c) "How long did it take to get there?"
d) "How long was your airplane flight?"
Scroll to the bottom for the answer

Answer: "b": "it" is the flight. Remember, "it" can be a thing OR an action the conversationists understand, so it doesn't need to be repeated.
Since we know the destination, this doesn't need to be said, therfore "c" is too long.

日本的（テスト的）な答えはＣかと思いましたが、ネイティブから見るとtoo long でした。飛行機で何時間？　そこまで飛行機で何時間？？？　よくわからないマークさんの問題でした・・

☆プチプチ講座☆
テストの結果を尋ねたらこんな返事が。'bombed it!'さて結果は？

☆プチプチ答え☆「大失敗！」
テストなどの試験に限らず「だめだめだったよ」と言いたいときに使えます。
爆弾という意味の【bomb】は発音に注意のいる単語なのでLong/Robertに聞いてみるのもOKです！
