before you can really make big
advancements towards this goal is to
cultivate the right mindset that is how
you think about learning and this isn't

so so who would rather have kissing your

[Music]
here we go
here we go phrase used when you're
starting to do something or when
something is starting especially if it
is something exciting example he said
here we go as the plane started to move
here we go again
is a related expression that is used
when something unpleasant is about to
happen again
example here we go again it's about to
rain for the tenth consecutive day the
situation in the beginning of this scene
is what people typically do on New
Year's Eve to bring in the New Year
which is to watch The Times Square ball
drop a big event with live music and
entertainment leading up to the end of
the day it is also televised this is a
big ball located on top of Times Square
an iconic plaza in New York that drops
gradually from 11:59 to midnight when
the new year begins this is why we also
find Ross counting down 1999 the year of
Joey
we're very happy for you what's matter
[Music]
it's matter what's the matter use for
asking what's the problem or what's
going on example why are you crying
what's the matter in this case Joey Ashe
Chandler and Monica
what's the matter as he sees they look
unenthusiastic complex use of too
sometimes we purposely omit repeating a
verb when it has just been mentioned
this is the case when Chandler says we
wanted to kiss at midnight but nobody
else is going to so you know here he
avoids repeating the verb kiss as is
clear from the immediate context below
are some examples with the emitted verb
or verb phrase between parentheses she
asked me to come but I didn't want to I
quit smoking and you have to - he likes
to cook and Michelle he likes to as well
alright I'll take care of him take care
of something - deal or find a solution
for something example I have a book the
hotel yet oh don't worry I'll take care
of it I'll have my secretary take care
of the arrangements
who you kissing at midnight who you
kissing at midnight huh huh we sometimes
say huh
at the end of a question to ask for
agreement example this is a pretty cool
place huh man you look big you've been
working out huh who are you kissing at
midnight huh Rachel or Phoebe what well
you gotta kiss someone can't kiss your
sister gotta when we want to express
obligation or need we commonly use gada
as a colloquial alternative to have to
or must gada represents the words got to
so you've got to becomes you gotta in
written informal English example we got
to go get some food before the store
closes example you got to work harder if
you want to see results alright are you
having fun so far

who would you rather have kiss your
sister me a channel that's good point
you would rather if you say that you
would rather do something or you'd
rather do it you mean that you would
prefer to do it example I'd rather stay
at home and watch a movie we often use
then for comparison example I'd rather
go running and then playing a video game
right now we use would rather not to
express this as a negative statement
example I'd rather not go out until it
stops raining good point used to tell
someone that they had a good comment
thought or suggestion example we need to
buy the baby clothes of one or two
bigger sizes because he will grow fast
yeah of course good point since I have
the whole history with Rachel I guess
Phoebe okay since used as a formal
alternative to because example I stopped
going to that restaurant since they
never serve good food anymore note
however that in this scene since is used
at the beginning of the sentence to
coordinate two ideas example since he
kept coming late to work I had to fire
him example since the city is not so far
away
we can go by car and save some money to
have a history with someone if you say
you have a history with someone it means
you have a prior and often negative
relationship with that person
most times this expression implies a
previous romantic relationship example I
can't work there because I have a
history with one of the employees
[Music]
