Hey guys it’s Michael here from Happy English. I hope everyone is having a good week. I’ve had a pretty good week here in the Big Apple, despite the fact that the weather is terrible. After a few days of spring-like weather, the temperature was down to about 10° Celsius this morning, that’s about 50°F. it feels more like the end of March then the end of May. Man I can’t wait for the summer to start. The forecast said it’s supposed to be nice this weekend, and that’s good because I’m planning to drive to New Jersey on Saturday. There’s a big Japanese market there, and I’m going to go to pick up some Japanese sake, sometimes pronounced as “sah-key” in English, and it’s also known as ni-hon-shu in Japanese. I guess you could say it’s Japan’s national drink. National alcoholic drink that is, and that brings us to the topic of today’s English lesson.
Drink is an irregular verb, and I know that sometimes people get confused using the three forms of that verb which are drink, drank, and drunk. There’s also an adjective form, which is drunken. Of course, we can also use the past participle, drunk, as an adjective. For today’s English lesson we’re going to take a look at all four of those words. So, sit back, relax, pour your self a cold one, and let’s check out this vocabulary.
Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details.
