SONGS

Songs have always helped us learn and improve English( grammar structures, vocabulary, pronuncation, speaking and understanding) and much more, even they help us to be better people.

Besides, you can do it on your own, at your pace. What are you waiting for? Click and learn by listening to good music.

-One of us is a song from the 1990s, it reminds me of my secondary school years. It can help you become acquainted with the structure "What if..." as well as the second conditional.
The singer is Joan Osborne  (nothing to do with the Spanish wine industry family)


-Brandon Flowers is the frontman of the American rock band The Killers. Crossfire is one of the hits from his first solo album Flamingo. It is really a great song. I can´t stop listening to it recently. There some easy phrasal verbs  to learn and vocabulary from the semantic field of weather. Enjoy it!!!


-I swear reminds me of my secondary school years,and my first love, of course!!! I ´ve chosen this song because it is full of sentences containing the future simple for promises.

-Tina turner used to have the best legs in the rock world.I don´t know now because shjemust be in her sixties or seventies !!! You´re simply the best is a very good song to practise comparatives and superlatives, especially the irregular one "good". Enjoy it.


-I can still remember the Sweppes commercial using the song "Every breath you take" by The Police. It is quite useful to work on the future continuous tense as well as verbs collocations such as "every step you take" or "every move you make".



- This song is good to review the past of TO BE. It is sung by Celine Dion.




- We can practise the second type of conditionals with "If I were a boy" by Beyonce.



- "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2, is a good song for the Present Perfect Tense.



-The present perfect tense is used to talk about experience. The song "Cry" by James Blunt is about the way he felt when he was a soldier.



- "White Flag" is one my favourite songs. It means so much to me!! Actually, it is the onemy husband and I danced on our wedding. It is about never giving up, and fighting for the love of that special person. It will help you with the future simple whose auxiliary verb is WILL.



-The song "Lemon Tree" is very easy. It will help you to practise the present continuous tense.



-This song makes me want to sing and dance. It cheers me up!!!! Do you understand the meaning of "adjective + enough"??? Come on, find it out! By the way it's a classic by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terre. "Ain't no mountain high enough"



- "Would" is the auxilary verb used for the conditional. Would you like to see some examples. Bruno Mars lastest hit "Grenade" has a lot of examples, especially in the chorus.



- Sting says he is "an Englishman in New York". This song is useful to see some differences between Britons and Americans, don you think?



- Sam Cook's Wonderful World will help you to revise some school subjects. Can you guess my school favourite subject???? It's not difficult to do!!!



- The following song does not aim at teaching any grammar or vocabulary. Its goal is to let you know that maybe the guy sitting next to you or behind is being bullied. It is a problem that many teens undergo at schools nowadays.The vocabulary used is great. THINK ABOUT IT! Welcome to my life by Simple Plan
