Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 363 The title of today's lesson is don't
-
say a joke tell a joke. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. You should not use
-
the verb say with joke. You can use the verbs tell, make , or crack. So somebody
-
could tell a joke, make a joke or crack a joke.
-
All of those are actually pretty common. I think crack sounds the funniest, but
-
actually tell and make is probably more common. Okay. Let's continue. You can say a
-
line in a joke that would be okay. For example you could say the punchline in a
-
joke. Somebody could say the punchline. Okay. Good.
-
All right and let's look at some examples here. Of course with the X this
-
is wrong. So this is where a student might make a mistake. If the student said,
-
he said a good joke. No. You shouldn't say he said a good joke. You should say he
-
told a good joke. Of course all these were the checks , these are correct. He
-
made a good joke. That's fine. He cracked a good joke. Yeah. Any of those are okay.
-
All right. And we have another example here. Of course with the X, this is wrong
-
again. He said that joke many times. No. You
-
wouldn't say he said that joke. He told that joke many times or we might ... In this
-
case we might even change to the verb repeated. He repeated that joke many
-
times. But you wouldn't say that he said that joke. Okay and now we just give one
-
example with punchline too. Like especially if there was like always
-
sometimes call like um comedy duo. You know, there's two comedians, two stand-up
-
comedians telling jokes at the same time. Somebody
-
might ask this question. Which comedian is going to say the punch line. In this
-
case. So yeah because there's always just only one of them can say the punch line.
-
That's the line that as soon as you say it you know, that makes the joke funny
-
and people laugh right after that. That's referred to as like the punch line. Okay.
-
Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it is clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
