TOPIC: This is another Christmas love song, so you can extend your vocabulary in the topic. I would like to call your attention to a proverb in the song: "Once bitten twice shy", that is used for saying that someone will be careful about doing something again, or will be unwilling to do it again because they failed or were hurt the first time they did it.. GRAMMAR: Listening to the song we can go travelling round the "tenses". In English, when you talk about past events or actions that happened after one another, use "Past Simple" (verb+ed or 2nd form of irregular verbs), e.g.: "I gave you my heart...you gave it away". Talking about things that have happened in a period from the past until now or their results, use "Present Perfect" (have/has+3rd form of verbs), e.g.: "it's been a year", "Now I've found a real love". We use "Present Simple" (bare verb or infinitive, in 3rd person singular: verb+s) to talk about things that happen repeatedly or are true in general, e.g.: "I keep my distance but you still catch my eye", and use "Present Continuous" (be+verb+ing) when something is happening at the time of speaking, e.g.: "I'm hiding from you". "Future Simple" is used when you decide to do something at the time of speaking, e.g.: "I'll give it to someone special.". First, try to understand the song just by listening to it, then check your understanding and extend your vocabulary from the lyrics below.
Wham! - Last Christmas Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, You gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, You gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby do you recognise me?
