On a funny note,
Once I taught my students the expression "... to death" usually added to verbs and adjectives.
It took me weeks to stop them from adding "to death" to other verbs and adjectives. They would say things like: sleep to death, eat to death, happy to death, sad to death, etc.
Then I introduced the adjective 'dead' before an adjective to correct their sentences to something like "I am dead hungry."
More confusion came in. They would just pick the weird adjectives: 'I am dead old, I am dead big, I am dead small, tall etc.
It's so difficult sometimes keeping them focused on what you want them to get. |
