I'm great, Victor, how ya doin?
Sensational.
Good.
"How was the game?"
We can use this phrase when it's a game we've played, or a game we've seen on TV.
Well, Victor, in American English, we don't really use the term"game" unless it's a team
sport, like basketball, soccer or American football, but you'd say, "match" for tennis,
or boxing.
So, "How was the game?”
That's it, see you later.
"What do you do?"
Now listen to my pronunciation: what daya, what daya, what daya do?
This is the way we ask someone about their job. "What daya do", it's short for "what do
you do for a living", but we don't say "for a living" anymore.
Great! I like this!
It's always okay to ask someone about their job, it shows you're interested in them. But
you never, ever ask someone how much money they make.
Ok, that's it for today. See you next time.
Da Vinci painted The Last Supper, also we can say "The Last Supper was painted by Da Vinci
." Here's where we can use active voice, "Da Vinci painted The Last Supper", or passive v-
oice, "The Last Supper was painted by Da Vinci". This depends on whether you want to em
-phasize, the artist, or the painting.
You can see The Last Supper if you go to Milan.
