Right, sorry to bring up this old subject again but I've just remembered another one (or should I say a new student is doing something I had forgotten about).

'Turn to page 26, please'

The student opens the book at page 6. Fine.
She then turns every single page looking at the number each time. Now, page 7 follows page 6. And page 8 follows page 7.
Guess what follows page 8? Answers on a postcard please.

This continues until page 26. I realise the English language is different to others, what with all that word order, auxilliary verb and pronunciation nonsense but page numbers are pretty universal, aren't they?

Or do I need a holiday?

What about you guys? Post your replies here on page 2 of this thread ( the one after page 1)
