Greens and Blues

Dear Teachers,

1. He helps me around the house.
- This means “ He helps me do everything in the house”, right?

2. He had been having an affair for 6 months.

- What does “ Having an affair’ mean?

3. She loves him very much and she wants to grow old with him.

- This means “ She loves him very much and she wants to live forever with him”, right?

4. – Don’t be in a rush to put the lantern down.
- Don’t be hurry / don’t be in a hurry to put the lantern down.

- Are these two sentences natural and the same meaning?

5. Who else do you like in this class besides Mary?
- Is this ok to say?



6. - Deep inside I hope you feel it too.

- Waited on a line of greens and blues.

- Just to be the next to be with you.


- What does " Waited on a line of greens and blues" mean?


Thanks a lot to Teachers,


Stevenukd.

Hi Guys,

This line is from a song by Mr. Big.

Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

The line "just to be the next to be with you" (THE NEXT) makes me think of those painted lines on the floors of banks and other public buildings where you are required to stand behind painted lines to to be served NEXT. Could it be he's waiting on painted lines to be the next to see her?

Hi Stevenukd, i hope you have the interpretation of the line above since, but here is my opinion. I think it reffers to the horizon, where the land (greens) and the sky (blues) meet.

This is just my personal opinion but I think #6 greens and blues... is that green represents envy or jealously and blue represents sadness. The song is about waiting for someone and having to stand all the emotions that come with waiting and watching.

Line of greens and blues = a series of good and bad moods.

I'm green = I'm fine/happy/optimistic.
I'm blue = I'm sad/unhappy/depressed.
