单集简介 ...

Dealing with some questions from listeners about pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, namely how to know when 'd is had or would (in writing and pronunciation), the curious origins of the word podcast and a vocabulary lesson about the word cast including various collocations and phrases which include this morpheme (that means a part of a word, not some kind of shape-shifting alien). More groundbreaking and genre-defying content to grace your earphones, and not boring grammar stuff at all, not even a little bit, no, no way, not here.

  • Hello listeners and welcome back to Luke's English Podcast,

  • a podcast for learners of English around the world.

  • My aim with these episodes is to help you get plenty of English input into your life.

  • on a regular basis in the form of listening in this case.

  • Doing plenty of listening I think is vital to help you develop the proper broad range of English skills which incorporates your familiarity with the spoken word,

  • English as it is spoken.

  • So this episode today is called Questions of English and Listener Comments, Bits and Bobs Part 4.

  • And in this episode, I'm going to continue the Bits and Bobs series, which I started last year.

  • Do you remember Bits and Bobs Parts 1, 2 and 3?

  • Of course you do.

  • How could you forget?

  • So this one, as I said, is called Questions of English and Listener Comments.

  • The idea behind the Bits and Bobs title, what does Bits and Bobs actually mean?

  • The idea behind this title is that the episode is going to include a variety of different questions,

  • language points and topics.

  • So it's a collection of bits and bobs.

  • OK, this one is going to include things like this.

  • So a bit of grammar,

  • specifically how to identify the difference between had and would when they are contracted,

  • because I'm sure you've noticed both of those words are contracted to an apostrophe D in written English.
