  • In this lesson, we will see phrases you can use while complaining about things people did to you.

  • Hey, Ness. Is what I’ve been hearing true?

  • What have you been hearing? Is everything all right?

  • Well, I heard you gossiped like a girl behind my back.

  • What are you saying? Who told you that?

  • Unlike you, I don’t talk about people behind their backs.

  • I just want to warn you that if you want this friendship to last, you’d better not repeat the things that you said last night at the party.

  • Oh man. I was drunk last night. I didn't know what I was doing.

  • Ness, let me tell you something: no matter how drunk I am, I’ll never say anything bad about my friends in front of others.

  • You have a problem with me, come to me and sort it out.

  • I’m sorry dude. I seriously got carried away. I’m really sorry.

  • Linda, did you go toRock ‘n’ Rolllast night?

  • No, I didn't. Why do you ask?

  • I ask because I thought that at least you wouldn’t lie to my face about it.

  • I’m not lying!

  • Really? I saw your picture in one of our mutual friend’s cellphone. Why did you have to lie to me and ditch me for that stupid party?

  • Err... I’m so sorry. I just wanted to have a little fun. You had some other plans, and I didn’t want to hurt your feelings... so I said I was sick.

  • Linda. We are really good friends. Don’t you think we can be honest with each other? Why do you feel like you have to lie?

  • Gosh. I’m really sorry, Amie. Youre right, of course. I’ll never lie again! I promise.

  • I hope you won’t. It’s really sad to see your friend ditching you, and lying about it, because of a stupid party.

  • Why do you look so annoyed? What happened?

  • I asked you not to tell anyone about the party. Why did you tell all your friends?

  • I didn't do anything. I didn’t tell anyone anything.

  • Oh, yeah? Everyone in school is talking about Saturday’s party. How did that happen?

  • Look, I just talked about it with my best friend. He may have told others.

  • Couldn’t you keep such a small thing to yourself? I mean

  • I trusted you and shared many party plans with you, and now look, the entire school knows about it.

  • I’m sorry. I just got carried away last night on the phone. I didn’t think he’d tell anyone. I’m so sorry for ruining your surprise party, Linda.

  • Well, I hope you learn a lesson from thisnext time I won’t let you in on my plans. Youll have to earn my trust back.
