Hi Christopher. With some of the vocabulary used (ages, much/many, anymore, rent, deal, forecast etc) plus grammar like 'used to' this conversation is definitely B1 level. Thanks for watching and commenting and don't hesitate to ask me if you have any other questions. Cheers, Chris.
BACK is commonly used with memories from years ago - 'back in school I didn't like English lessons', 'back in my country I was a teacher ' etc. It is used in a similar way to 'used to' but it positions the conversation - it gives it a location. 'used to' not necessarily has a location - example, 'I used to be a teacher'.
Hi Cécile, yes 'check out ' is commonly used for visiting things like castles etc. example: When you're in Paris make sure that you check out the Eiffel Tower. Just be careful, it is informal. I'd only use it with family and friends.
Hello Chris. I've never understood the verb 'RIDE". If I write "We could ride a bike into town or for example We could drive into the town or I drive to my work..." is it correct. Please, can you explain this verbe to me. When can we use it? Thanks. Cheers.
Hi Cécile. It's a common question about the verb, RIDE. The Cambridge definition is; 'a verb to sit on something such as a bicycle, motorbike, or horse and travel along on it controlling its movements.' So your example with riding a bike into town is perfect but if you said, 'to drive into town or work' I would assume that you are talking about going in a car. You sit ON and control a horse - so we use 'ride'. You sit IN and control a car - so we use 'drive'. I hope that helps! Cheers.
yes, "to drive to work" does mean to go to work by car or with the verb walk = go to work on foot. but in the sentence "we could ride into town" how can you tell if it's by bike or on horse or motorbike? Cheers.
I think in your example here you would just have to interpret it depending on the circumstance. If you were staying with a city person your chances of riding into town on a horse would be very low! But if you were staying with a farmer you could easily ride into town on a horse or a motorbike...
ok, Chris. I can say ride instead ride a bike if I’m in a city, or ride instead ride a horse if I’m in the forest or contryside. It is depending on the conversation, or context. in any case Ride is correct and if you want to specify by bike or horse you say ride a bike or a horse. I hope that I've understood the explanation. Thanks you very much. Have a good weekend.
Thank you very much for your clear explanations. Now I understand why "Back" in this case.

@@AnglaisAvecunAnglophone okay thanks , I just wanted evaluate my level 👍
Hello Chris, If I write: I remember in college you used to.... instead I remember BACK is it a mistake. Why "back".🤔

Hi Chris. If I understood "check out" is synonymous with "visit" a castel.
Hi Cécile, yes 'check out ' is commonly used for visiting things like castles etc. example: When you're in Paris make sure that you check out the Eiffel Tower. Just be careful, it is informal. I'd only use it with family and friends.
I got it. I can't use it if I'm talking to the President or the King of England. Thank a lot for this explanation.
@@cecilegoupil7371 Absolutely. Next time you talk to the President or the King though say hello from me! 😃
