well? have you completely forgotten what

day it is?

it's our anniversary Mike. our

anniversary the one day this month that

I asked you to be home on time so that

we could go on a date but obviously I

was asking too much. is that booze that I

can smell on you? have you been drinking?

do you think I was born yesterday?

I'm not stupid/ you're stinking of booze

so don't try and tell me that you were

working late

you've obviously been out drinking

probably with those idiotic friends of

yours or maybe not, maybe you've been

drinking with somebody else maybe you've

been seeing someone behind my back.

well? have you got nothing to say for

yourself?

no explanation? not even an apology?

well if you can't even talk to me Mike

then...then you know what? I'm done! had

enough of this.

have a nice life. i'm not angry really

come back come back and hello everybody

my name is Anna from English like a native

and that was a dramatic monologue so I

was playing the angry girlfriend

imagining that the boyfriend had come

home very late stinking of booze when

they had arranged to go on a date for

their anniversary

so let's go back and look at some of

those sections again so she started off

saying what time do you call this? This

is the phrase we use regularly to mean

you're late

what time do you call this it will

either be said in anger

or sarcastically if you don't mind that

someone's late you might joke about and

say

she then says have you completely

forgotten what day it is? she doesn't mean

have you forgotten what day of the week

it is

I'm sure he knows whether it's monday

tuesday wednesday thursday friday

saturday or sunday but she's asking does

he not remember why today is special

because it's an anniversary

has he forgotten that today is an

anniversary. in relationships in the UK

we tend to celebrate anniversaries for

not only weddings but also for when we

got together with our boyfriends or

girlfriends so if you've been dating

somebody for one year you'll have a

one-year anniversary

she also said i was asking too much

we use this phrase a lot sometimes posed as

a question am I asking too much? is this

beyond what you are able to give me

we also heard the phrase i wasn't born

yesterday

this means I'm not naive or I'm not

stupid

if you are born yesterday of course you

would be very young and you wouldn't

understand what was going on so she's

saying look I'm not stupid i wasn't born

yesterday she also questioned whether

he's been seeing someone else behind her

back

now of course he is seeing people

everyday so of course he's seeing other

people but to be seeing someone else

means to be meeting up with someone or

dating someone outside of your committed

relationship

so if you're married you might be having

an affair which could also be referred

to as seeing someone else and we say

seeing someone else behind my back or

behind their back to be doing it

secretly without that person knowing i

hope that you aren't seeing someone else

behind my back she asked him do you have

nothing to say for yourself

we use this phrase a lot too. have you

anything to say for yourself it will

usually be said by someone angry

what have you got to say for yourself

this just means what is your explanation

or don't you have an explanation

don't you have anything to say for

yourself and then she says I'm done

she basically means i'm finished the

relationship is finished I don't want to

do this anymore i'm done it's over

good and with that I am done and it is

over and it's time to say goodbye i hope

you found that helpful
