Song and video: Every breath you take, by The Police






Although this song sounds like a love one, it is not so. Sting wrote it after he divorvced from his first wife, Frances Tornelty.
























This was the biggest hit in 1983.

This won Grammys in 1984 for Song of the Year.

At the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1983, this won for best Cinematography.






Every breath you take, every move you make


"I woke up in the middle of the night with that line in my head, sat down at the piano and wrote in it in half an hour. It sounds like a comforting love song. I didn't realize at the time how sinister it is. I think I was thinking of Big Brother watching you. " Sting





















I love music! Do you?

Uh uh uh uh girl I just want you to stay

A love like ------------ is love that's hard ------------
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all ------------
How ------------ we end it all this way
When ------------ comes and we'll both regret
The things we ------------ today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
Uh girl, just got to have you by my side

Uh uh uh uh no baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin, yeah

Much more about countable and uncountable nouns












Grammar. Countable and uncountable nouns

Nouns can be countable or uncountable. Is this new noun I'm learning countable or uncountable? This is a questions you should ask yourself when you learn a new noun in English?


Countable Nouns, people, animals, objects, plants, units of measurement, can be counted, used with the indefinite article (a / an) and the plural. That's the point, count nouns can take the plural form.

- ex: a dog


- ex: two dogs


Uncount

able Nouns,substances, materials, abstracts ideas, languages, cannot be counted, and are never used with the indefinite article or in the plural. They are always singular.

-ex: water

How do you count uncountable nouns? You can't, but you can measure them. You have to use ‘counters’

You can put something into a container to count it, but the thing you're counting doe
sn't take the plural form. The container takes the plural form:


Let's do this online activity

And this other one

Have a new try with this other activity

And this very last one



Now you've learnt a good deal about count and uncount nouns.



On 1 May is celebrated,

all over the world, Labor Day, which reminds workers executed in the USA in 1887 after claims of labor claims.

In Argentina, Labor Day is celebrated since the late nineteenth century. At present, Labor Day is commemorated with the implementation of various events and demonstrations, which, beyond any ideological root, remember to allow those who fought throughout history for workers' rights.

Fortunately, The Beatles "found" a way to relax after a hard day's work....

What about enjoying A HARD DAY'S NIGHT!

engineers, bakers, teachers, plumbers, secretaries ...

HAPPY DAY TO ALL WORKERS!




HAPPY LABOR DAY!

DO YOU WORK HARD?
WHAT DO YOU DO?
ARE YOU A DRONE, A QUEEN BEE OR A TEACHER?






Why not Labor's Day ?







Question

: Recently I was asked why we say " Mother's Day" but " Labor Day" ( not "Labor's Day"). Why not " Laborers' day"? After all, we labor so hard, we actually "laborers".

We have also "Father's Day" but " Christmas Day" ( not Christmas's day )




--------------------------------------------------




( English teacher )


"Mother" and "father' are people and the days chosen to honor them are called their days. So the possessive forms of "mother and "father" respectively are used to name their days, i.e.. "Mother's Day" and Father's Day".

"Labor Day" is a day that has been chosen to honor all working people. "Labor" refers to the work done as well as the workers collectively. we don't normally use an apostrophe 's' after the word "labor" to indicate possession. Thus "Labor Day" is used.

"Laborer's Day" does not sound so neat.

As for " Christmas", the word means " the mass or festival of Christ". "Christmas" is not a person, so we can't put an apostrophe 's' after it. "Christmas Day' means "the day of the festival of Christ".
