Lesson 1 – Don’t miss the bus

Filed under: Intermediate, Level, everyday English, verbs — GEOS NYC @ 9:26 pm

Welcome to our first one point lesson!

I woke up late this morning, and I tried to catch the 8:15 bus. I got to the bus stop at 8:20. What should I tell my teacher?
I was late, so I ______________________ .
a. caught the bus    b. lost the bus   c. missed the bus   d. forgot the bus

The correct answer is “c” – I was late, so I missed the bus. When you are not on time for something, you can say that you missed it.
When you say, “I caught the bus,” it means that you rode the bus, so no worries!
When  you say you lost something, it means you misplaced something. My grandmother often says, “I lost my glasses.”

When you say you forget something, it means you do not remember it. “I forgot my homework,” is something students often say.
See you next time!

  2. Oh! Good idea!

    I have a suggestion. It could be more challenged if you Geos don’t give us the right answer at the first time, so we can try to guess the answer and you bring it later.

    Do you understand me? It’s just a suggestion!

    Kisses from Barcelona for Geos’ people and classmates!
