School


One of the best songs of Nirvana has fifteen words:

''Won't you believe it?
It's just my luck.

No recess.

You're in high school again.''

(Recess = recreo.)

Irregular verbs (2)

Irregular verbs

I still remember most of the list of irregular verbs. Good. However, I put it here, helped by a book. Regular verbs are easy to conjugate. For example: I study, He studies, I studied... But Irregular verbs are special cases, and we are lucky, because they are few.

(Have I written all well? or... Have I written well all? Regular verbs? or: The regular verbs? Thank you for help me)

Paseante has helped me: Have I written all of them well?
I 'm writting the three tenses of the verb: infinitive, past, and past participle.

be, was/were, been (ser/estar/parecer)
become, became, become (llegar a ser, convertirse)

While I was writing the list of verbs, I have found that I didn't remember some verbs. So I'll study it all well. But I think it's dangerous studying the verbs in this way, because the pronunciation is very, very important. I'm going to return to this. Maybe some day I'll record me saying verbs. I hope it isn't necessary.

To care about



'I don't care, I don't care, I don't care about this world, I don't care about that girl. I don't care.

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care about these words, I don't care about this girl. I don't care.'

I don't understand English, but I think that in future I will learn it. The english language is very logical, but its pronunciation is very difficult for me. Today The Ramones are my teachers.

I don't care is a Ramones's song. Its lyric is short and easy, but I haven't chosen it only because it's easy, but because I really like it. It's a simple song, rebel and direct. It says it all. Does it say it all? Have I written all of them well?
