Hi this is Tutor P and  this is Noun Phrase 98. The noun phrase today is a

The zero and first conditional

long face. Okay. Let's take a look at the  not. If someone has a long face,  he or she

has an expression of sadness or a very serious unhappy face. Then we say that

somebody has a long face. Okay.  Let's look at several examples here. Example number

one. Hey Max why the long face ? Are you okay ? And this is a very natural way you

may hear it . Even though I sometimes feel a little funny about it because

technically I don't know if this is really a proper sentence but you hear

people say it all the time. Why the long face ? Maybe really you should be saying

why do you have a long face ? But I almost never hear anyone say that directly to

someone. They'll usually say why the long face ? So basically why ? Why do you look

unhappy ? What's wrong ? Anything wrong with you . That's basically the way we use it

Or number two. Now we do use it you know often talking about other people.

Jane has had a long face for several days because she broke up with her

boyfriend. Yeah. It could be. Number three.  What's with Bob ? Yeah we always like say

what's with someone ? You know what why did they look so unhappy why has he been

moping around you know, walking around very unhappy with such a long face . Did

someone die or something ? You know it's the way people may talk sometimes. Okay.

wearing a long face ever since he realized how much money he lost after

that stock he invested in you know,  lost a lot of money, basically. So yeah

sometimes if we use a verb with it we might say that somebody is wearing a

long face. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it.  I hope is clear. Thank you for your time.
