After last week's lesson on common informal phrases, a lot of students e-mailed me saying, "please make more lessons like this!"  So today I'll teach you more: You'll learn informal spoken expressions like "No hard feelings," "Join the club," and "Just my luck!" (that last one might be different from what you expect...) Let me know if you have any questions about these phrases - or if you have another phrase that you're not sure what it means or how to use it.  One of the best ways to learn real phrases to use in daily life is to join my Everyday English Speaking Courses.   You can see what the lessons are like by taking the free samples available here:  Free sample - Level 1 Free sample - Level 2

For example:  - I feel tired. (“tired” describes me) - He seems annoyed (“annoyed” describes him) - She is a teacher. (“a teacher” describes her) - They are students. (“students” describes them)   I’ll show you a list of linking verbs, and then we’ll look at a lot of examples.
