It is very entertaining for me when I see you say: ‘Nice, the supposed teacher is making mistakes
How funny’.

Did you read what Roberto Said in the 43rd post here? We are the official non-official teachers in this blog.

Thank you very much indeed, Roberto, you are very kind. I hope our official teachers will not kick me out of this blog.

Provided that our official teachers (Jeff, Lucy and Warren) allow, I hope to see the number of non-official teachers increases so that they can have more time to do the more difficult job of writing scripts, doing the podcast and starting us off with a nice topic for our blogs etc.

Of course, we probably only have just one customers – Johnny; and have far too many service providers – the non-official teachers.

Surely the official teachers’ students want to hear what the official teachers say, the best answers. I just seize the opportunity to pretend to be a non-official teacher. It is myself that benefit most doing the exercise of trying to explain something.

Yes, your answer was a lot more complete than mine, thank you.

Very often one simple English word has so many meanings that although English is a easy-to-learn language, it is very hard to be proficient in it.

Thank you once again, Emiliano, for lending me a helping hand.

It´s duplicated the meaning in Adjective and Noun., once posted I have seen the mistakes ….

“To turn to the left….. ( it´s a noun here, not an adjective)…….I think so, now I am not sure about anything….ja, ja.

“The Left Side of the Party is taken the power now” ………here it´s and adjective.
——
Nice, the supposed teacher is making mistakes
How funny.

Well, I think I have to dedicate my free time to another task….just awful emiliano, let the place to Jeff, Lucy or Warren.

It is a nice and interesting exercise always, so thank you Johnny to let us know your
doubts and questions which are ours too.

“So, in your sentence: …………..but you can have what’s left means:
…………but you are allowed to have (to eat) what they did not eat (the food that was left behind by them)”.

Thank you Betty.

Verb…….to leave, left,

left:
to let remain or have remaining behind after going, disappearing, ceasing, etc.: I left my wallet home. The wound left a scar.

All meanings are taken left as the past perfect of to leave, the verb is used with an object…..–verb (used with object) -

But left could be also: an adjective or a noun….

Adjective:

Take it easy Johnny, everything is going to your mind little by little.
It´s necessary to read and to read very much and don´t try ever to translate what you are reading
or do it as less as possible, only when it is really necessary.
Only try to understand the gist, that´s enough.
We are learning a different language of the one we know and it´s a lost of time to translate
so many things.

Some phrases or words are necessary to be left for another day when we are reading a book or a text
because trying to understand or look for everything could be very tiresome.
Give time to the time of learning and make always a pleasure of all our tasks.

Johnny pick up the nice things of evey day and left out of your life whichever thing that could you make
unhappy.

Sorry, I was making another phrases of my own.
Right? Wrong? it doesn´t matter.

Have in mind that all of us make mistakes here, we try to learn that´s the point and the best ways to improve and write is
telling other our opinions about nearly everything.
Always I could see my mistakes once the post is in the Blog and it´s really instructive for me.

All the best Paul and go ahead as frequently as you wish, we do like to have new members.

I will look very silly if I answer your question wrongly, but please let me try my best to see if I can help.

To find the meaning of the latter part of your sentence: They ate quite a bit of the casserole, but you can have what’s left.
Please search my old friend thefreedictionary.com for ‘left’, it will say,
left v. Past tense and past participle of leave.

Now search for ‘leave’, your will find:
2. a. To go without taking or removing: left my book on the bus.

So, in your sentence: …………..but you can have what’s left means:
…………but you are allowed to have (to eat) what they did not eat (the food that was left behind by them).

Please also note the term ‘left over’ in the dictionary:
Left over: not used; extra. For example: When everyone took a partner there was one person left over; We divided out the left-over food.

I hope I have not confused you more than before I started.

Please excuse me if I explained wrongly, I hope someone else here can help and give a better explanation than mine. Thank you.

Last year the European Union has establish a presidency for Europe. Our President has already encountered his first difficulty with defending the euro-monetary system which has been overcome through collaboration with the euro-partners especially Germany as leading partner.

On several occasions the present has already out spoken that his task only contents coordinating and management of the European Parliament.

I’ve became member of eslpodcast to improve my English language skill, so if there are any mistakes made would you have the kindness to be indulgent.

Kind regards,
