Hi, Bob the Canadian here, during this past weekend's

Modal verbs - A2

live English lesson someone asked again if I could

The imperative

so I thought this would be a great time to do another video

but where only one story is true and the other story

So stick around, this will be a great little English lesson

where you will have some great English listening practice

Hi, Bob the Canadian here welcome to this

little English lesson and if you are new here

you should click that little red subscribe button

down there and give me a thumbs up at some point

I'm going to try and tell you when it happened,

where it happened, who it happened with, what happened

and this is a great structure that you can use

When I was a little kid, when I was about eight

or nine years old, my mom and I went to the local

grocery store and we went up and down the aisles

of the grocery store and we got to the snack aisle,

and in the snack aisle they had all kinds of pop,

or soda, and they had all kinds of potato chips.

And there was a certain kind of potato chip

and I asked my mom if she could buy it for me,

she said that I couldn't have those potato chips.

So as we went to the next aisle in the store

I kinda walked backwards into the previous aisle

and I went back to the chips that I liked,

and I secretly opened the bag in the store,

without paying for them, and I started eating them.

No, no sooner had I eaten a few chips and my mom

and what she did out I will remember for my whole life.

We took the chips to the front of the store

and she made me apologize to the store manager,

then she put the chips in our grocery cart

and we went through the checkout and we bought the chips.

And then we took the chips home and she threw them

in the garbage and she made me pay for the chips

I'm not going to tell you if that story was true or not,

instead I'm going to tell you story number two,

which you might find is eerily similar story number one.

When I was a kid about nine or 10 years old

my mom and I went to the grocery store to buy groceries.

While we are at the grocery store we went up and down

the aisles until we got to the aisle where they had Coke,

one of my favorite pops, one of my favorite sodas.

Notice there's a bunch of different words for that.

Anyways I asked my mom if she would buy me a can of Coke

and she said no, she wouldn't buy me a can of Coke.

and then I kinda walked backwards and I went back

and then I took a can and I kind of crawled right

onto the lower shelf of the grocery store,

because I was so little I could fit there,

and I remember opening the can of pop and it went ka-chhhhh,

and as it went ka-chhhhh I started to take a couple sips

of the Coca-Cola, and I think I drank about half the can

My mom grabbed me and pulled me out from under that shelf

and she said, "you will never, ever, do that again,

"come with me," and she took me to the front of the store

then she made me buy the can of pop with my own money,

and then we went home and she took the can of pop

the entire can of pop she dumped down the sink.

Notice, before I tell you which story was true,

I like to start my little stories in English,

and if you speak other languages you'd do the same,

by talking about when and where something happened.

So in my stories you knew that they happened
