What’s in The News? Thunderstorms Day and Night. What is The Difference?
Speaking Practice. What’s for Dinner?
English Grammar. Me Too / Me Neither
Thunderstorms are most likely to form when the temperature of the air decreases with height pretty rapidly–for example, when it’s hot at the ground and cold aloft. Thunderstorms that form at night occur in the absence of heating at the ground by the sun. Consequently, the storms that form at night are usually “elevated,” meaning that they form aloft above the cooler air near the ground, rather than near the ground, which only during the day can get warmer.
There aren’t nearly as many measurements available of temperature and moisture, which is needed to fuel thunderstorms, above the ground as there are at the ground, so predicting where storms will form at night is much more challenging.
Mother: I wonder what we should have for dinner this evening?
Mona: Are you asking me?
Mother: Yes, I am. I really don’t feel much like cooking, but the family must eat.
Mona: Well, you know me. I can always eat pizza—or spaghetti.
Mother: So I’ve noticed. You’re putting on a little weight, aren’t you?
Mona: I know. Don’t remind me! I’m starting a new diet day after tomorrow.
Mother: It’s about time!
The easiest way to agree in English is to say ”Me too” (to agree with a positive statement) or “Me neither” (to agree with a negative statement):
“I love strawberry ice cream.” (Response) “Me too!”
“I don’t go to the gym very often.” (Response) “Me neither.”
A “negative statement” is any sentence that uses a negative auxiliary verb. In other words a verb used with “Not”.
don’t / doesn’t / didn’t (Verb “Do” with “Not”).
can’t (Modal verb “Can” with “Not”).
haven’t / hasn’t / hadn’t (Verb “Have” with “Not”).
won’t / wouldn’t (Modal verb “Will” with “Not”).
isn’t / aren’t / am not (Verb “To be” with “Not”).
