Today’s sentence Hello again. How are you today? Here’s the latest in the series on uses of the verbs do and make. You’re making fun of me. Notes To make fun of someone means to laugh (unkindly) at someone. If you make cruel / unkind jokes about someone, you are “making fun” of them. Making fun of someone doesn’t necessarily have to be really nasty or cruel. It might only be an attempt at being funny. However, it’s generally not nice if someone makes fun of you. Right: we’ll start looking at how to use the verb do tomorrow. See you then! Search Linguagum for more English tips, check out our very useful links and our shop!

Today’s sentence Hello and welcome back. Here’s today’s sentence in the series on being vague about actual numbers of things. He’s got zillions of friends. Notes Zillions. I’m not even sure if this is a real number. We have millions, billions, trillions and…zillions? It’s such a large number that nobody would use it anyway. So, obviously, today’s sentence is an exaggeration. Nobody could even have millions of friends, let alone zillions. So, zillions (or, in fact, millions, billions or trillions) can be used, informally, to mean many. Right. That’s it for today. We’ll take another look at this tomorrow, so don’t go away!
