In this lesson you asked me to explain you how to use the verb "look" with some prepositions. I taught you that when a preposition changes the meaning of some verb , this verb is called " phrasal verb" but when a preposition only indicates a position like " up, down,behind...' and the verb keeps its original mood ; this is called " prepositional verb ". The verb chosen by you is perfect to show it.

### Look - as a prepositional verb

1- Look up / down

* I was looking up when the plane crashed. She is so shy that always looks down when somebody is talking with her.

Kandy's Birthday

Kandy wanted her mother to give her a big birthday party. She also wanted to invite her boyfriend David and many other friends. Kandy wanted to go to the supermarket to buy things to eat and drink...but her mother prefered to make everything at home. They only bought coke and vanilla strawberry ice cream. They didn't buy chocolate ice cream because Kandy doesn't like it.

Everything is on the table now. A beautiful big cake, a lot of candies, sandwiches, ice cream , lemonade, coke , silverware, napkins and the camera ...Kandy wanted so much.

Letter to Sta Claus


To Santa Claus, North Pole

Dear Santa, I'm that nice guy who lives next to Pete's house. Do you remember Pete? He is that ugly fellow with the big mouth who is always in a bad moody. He doesn't know how to play because he is always studying. I'm sorry to have to say he is my cousin.

My mother who is Pete's aunt thinks he is great. I know he isn't . So I put some ants in his mouth yesterday afternoon. Mother is still very angry at me but you understand me Sta Claus, I know. You watch him all the time, so you know...you know I only don't study all the time because I don't like to. Because of all this, dear Santa Claus ...I know you don't agree with mother who thinks you want to give a bicycle to Pete on Christmas , but don't want to give one to me because I am a bada boy.

Please Santa, Oh Please! Don't forget to bring me my blue cross bicycle, the one I want so much.

Just in case mother is right, she usually is. I understand I have to study, to help mother, to be nice to Pete and to all other people.

Do you want to help me to be a good boy Santa Claus?

Love

Jhonny.

P.S : Don't forget the bicycle. Cross and Blue!
