More words to be careful with:
I'll send you to the station (and others).

    A few weeks ago I looked at the words, popular and play. In this week's lesson, I would like to look at a few more words that sometimes cause problems for Japanese students. Look at the examples below and decide what is wrong with the parts in red.

    1. A: I have to hurry. My train leaves in 10 minutes.
      B: Don't worry. I'll send you to the station.

    2. A: I didn't know Julie was married.
      B: Yeah, in fact she has a three-years-old child.

    3. I studied a lot of homework last night.

    4. The doctor told me to drink this medicine 3 times a day.

    5. I took a bath at eleven o'clock and then I slept at 12 o'clock.

    6. We had a lunch at 1 o'clock.

    7. A: It's your birthday tomorrow, isn't it?
      B: Why do you know that?

    8. I got bitten on the leg by a bee.
