This month's edition of funny sentences, courtesy of my students.

  • Can you go on a date with me dear teacher?

  • Could I dance with Shrek? (I should point out that these last two came during a game where I was awarding creativity.)

Before I left for the Inca Trail, my students got a bit of revenge. First off, they didn't want me to leave (they were very happy to have me back. They hated the substitute.), and I had used Alberto, the only man in the class as an example for "used to" (as in "Alberto used to be a woman") and to introduce my gossip lesson ("Did you hear? Alberto used to be a woman.") Therefore, he and his partner wrote the following dialogue as gossip practice:
A: Did you hear? The teacher is going away this week to get married to Teacher Tom.
B: What? No, I wanted to marry her.
A: You can't, your girlfriend will be angry.
B: No she won't, she lives far away.

"I holded your hand when you was sleeping."

Great list!
