Teacher: I will GIVE you the school’s phone number. However, after I give it to you, you need to go home and study!😡🔥

Teacher: OH NO! ✨😱✨



Students often say: ✨🖊😅✨

When asking for or giving basic, personal, or simple information, natives say and write: ✨💪🎓✨

Please give me your e-mail address. ✨✅✨

May I have your e-mail address, please? ✨✅✨

Please give me your phone number. ✨✅✨

    Thanks as always! Can I use ‘tell’ instead of ‘give’? Could you tell me the school’s phone number?

    'Show me your passport, please.' is a pasonal information. But is it a special situation?😅

    Thanks for very nice lesson.💐💐💐 “Teach” this word let me think of a famous remark 「Teachers are the most honorable occupation under the sun.」said by Comenius. Because they not only teach us knowledge but also teach us how to distiguish between right and wrong🌸
