Interesting video on animal idioms James.

A principle in testing states ” You test what you teach”.

There were two idioms ( rat on and rat out)that were not taught overtly on this video lesson, however they were included on the test; how come?

Thus, the validity of this quiz is highly questionable and so is the outcomes?

Looking forward to your reply James.

Regino

adhikari sonu

Thanks for your comment Adhikari, I feel much better now.

I do not know if you have noticed that James NEVER gives feedback on anything. I did’nt mean to be rude, but that’s the naked truth.

Regino

Stranger444

Hh James I got 6 of 9 :( any way thanks

m0dy

I don’t understand why the right answer for 8 is:”What does the fox say”.

This is one of the most funniest lesson you have ever done!
Now “I pull the rabbit out of a hat “ and say to you :”Happy Easter”!

Sorry about that. There was a mistake with number 8. It is now fixed.

engVid

I agree with you, Byte!

Question! Monkey seeS monkey doES? Or “Monkeys see – monkeys do”?

geotip

Hi “geotip”. I have read that it is in a pidgin language.
A pidgin is a language created in order to conduct business when two sets of speakers don’t have a common language.

grazisil13

Hi grazisil.if you want to remember the expressions which you are interested in,then you have to practise for it with your friends.the most you will practise,the most you will improve your skills about expressions.so keep practising all the time :)

brightup

Hi James,
I have a question about one of the expresions.
“Monkey see, monkey do”. Monkey is singular, isn’t it ? So why no “(e)s” to see and do ? Is it an exception, or something else ?
Thank you :)
