Musical Instruments
Anne: Listen! Somebody’s playing the piano.
Betty: Yeah, it sounds nice, doesn’t it?
I wish I could play a
musical instrument.
Anne: Don’t you play the violin?
Betty: No, but my sister
does. Actually, she’s pretty good at it.
Anne: I took flute lessons for a couple
of years, but I never learned to play very well. I guess I don’t have any musical talent.
Betty: Oh, that’s not true. You sing very well. I can’t even do
that! |

Conversation Notes |
- Yeah
- An informal variant of yes. Doesn’t it? The falling
intonation on this question tag shows that it is simply a conversational
element not requiring an answer.
- I wish I could
- Note that could is a past tense form, as required after
wish.
- Don’t you play
- The negative question implies that the speaker expects
the answer to be affirmative. It is equivalent to You play the violin, don’t
you? with a rising intonation on the final you.
- my sister does
- Does is a proverb, standing in place of the verb. The
sentence means My sister plays the violin.
- flute lessons
- A compound noun, with the principal stress on the first
word.
