Do you know "Chunks of language"?

Yishu H.

Today, we’re going to look at chunks of language. Chunks of language mean groups of words that naturally go together. They are fixed expressions so we can memorize them as a complete piece of language. 

 



Now, it’s the quiz time. Please read the paragraph below and correct the places that look unusual to you.

 

My typical morning? Well, I never go out on an unfilled stomach, so before work, I usually have a complete English breakfast – I love it. Getting to work can take a big time because it is the rush period. But when I get to work it is a lot of enjoyment because my colleagues come from all over the earth. Anyway, I must go into work right now, but I’ll be back in a period.



 

Here is the answer, so did you find all of them?
