what time do you call this?
well? have you completely forgotten what
day it is?
it's our anniversary Mike. our
anniversary the one day this month that
I asked you to be home on time so that
we could go on a date but obviously I
was asking too much. is that booze that I
can smell on you? have you been drinking?
do you think I was born yesterday?
I'm not stupid/ you're stinking of booze
so don't try and tell me that you were
working late
you've obviously been out drinking
probably with those idiotic friends of
yours or maybe not, maybe you've been
drinking with somebody else maybe you've
been seeing someone behind my back.
well? have you got nothing to say for
yourself?
no explanation? not even an apology?
well if you can't even talk to me Mike
then...then you know what? I'm done! had
enough of this.
have a nice life. i'm not angry really
come back come back and hello everybody
my name is Anna from English like a native
and that was a dramatic monologue so I
was playing the angry girlfriend
imagining that the boyfriend had come
home very late stinking of booze when
they had arranged to go on a date for
their anniversary
so let's go back and look at some of
those sections again so she started off
saying what time do you call this? This
is the phrase we use regularly to mean
you're late
what time do you call this it will
either be said in anger
or sarcastically if you don't mind that
someone's late you might joke about and
say
she then says have you completely
forgotten what day it is? she doesn't mean
have you forgotten what day of the week
it is
I'm sure he knows whether it's monday
tuesday wednesday thursday friday
saturday or sunday but she's asking does
he not remember why today is special
because it's an anniversary
has he forgotten that today is an
anniversary. in relationships in the UK
we tend to celebrate anniversaries for
not only weddings but also for when we
got together with our boyfriends or
girlfriends so if you've been dating
somebody for one year you'll have a
one-year anniversary
she also said i was asking too much
we use this phrase a lot sometimes posed as
a question am I asking too much? is this
beyond what you are able to give me
we also heard the phrase i wasn't born
yesterday
this means I'm not naive or I'm not
stupid
if you are born yesterday of course you
would be very young and you wouldn't
understand what was going on so she's
saying look I'm not stupid i wasn't born
yesterday she also questioned whether
he's been seeing someone else behind her
back
now of course he is seeing people
everyday so of course he's seeing other
people but to be seeing someone else
means to be meeting up with someone or
dating someone outside of your committed
relationship
so if you're married you might be having
an affair which could also be referred
to as seeing someone else and we say
seeing someone else behind my back or
behind their back to be doing it
secretly without that person knowing i
hope that you aren't seeing someone else
behind my back she asked him do you have
nothing to say for yourself
we use this phrase a lot too. have you
anything to say for yourself it will
usually be said by someone angry
what have you got to say for yourself
this just means what is your explanation
or don't you have an explanation
don't you have anything to say for
yourself and then she says I'm done
she basically means i'm finished the
relationship is finished I don't want to
do this anymore i'm done it's over
good and with that I am done and it is
over and it's time to say goodbye i hope
you found that helpful
