Weddings
ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful
in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the
groom is so romantic. I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. Did you know that was
where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the
honeymoon! What a great idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week after
they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to California and cruising the coast
on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This
is by far the best wedding I’ve ever been to. |
Conversation Notes |
- Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the
expected answer is “yes.” As such, it expresses the exact opposite of what
is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES look absolutely beautiful).
- Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three
syllables in “honeymoon,” with the stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon].
This content word is culturally important, so it’s emphasized: It means a
trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
- Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
- Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this
dialogue? “Just” is an adverb that can be used in two different ways:
a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to
convey time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the
action is complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect
(He’s just finished writing a book). b) To indicate contrast or emphasis
(Most people just go to the beach). In that case, “just” can be replaced by
“simply” and emphasize the word it relates to (a verb, adjective or other
adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following sentences: “They just
got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding reception was just
wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).
