English verbs nouns.

p. 146 part 2 - do you understand these words? Write sentences that connect the words to show you understand the meanings.
An army is made up of soldiers.
A general has a duty to command the army.
Soldiers have a duty to obey a general’s commands.
The group is fighting in combat.
The army has lots of weapons to fight with enemies.
A sword is one type of weapon.
---
A soldier fights in an army and has to follow commands. Warriors may not be in a professional army.
An opponent could be someone who disagrees with your or is playing against you in a game. An enemy is someone you are fighting with and want to hurt.
Fighting includes two people arguing and fighting, or an organized boxing match, or many other types of things. Combat is almost always military fighting.
Martial arts are specific techniques for hand-to-hand or melee fighting.

Read the article about samurai on p. 147.

1 appeal
2 overcoming
3 fierce
4 battle-weary
5 savage
6 unarmed

Adjectives with a- (alone, alive, awake, asleep, aboard, abroad, etc.) don’t come before nouns, they only come after linking verbs.
“Lone” and “live” have the same meanings as “alone” and “alive”, but only come before the noun.
Some of the others use the -ing form before nouns: living, sleeping

p. 146 part 7 - what do these expressions with “go” mean?

4 b
part 8 - explain the expressions with “go” in your own words
1 went wrong = didn’t work as expected
2 went on = continued
3 going up = increasing
4 went quiet = became quiet
5 go ahead = continue (with something you were already doing or planning, especially after a pause)
6 have a go at = try / try out / attempt
---
How often do you apologize?
“sorry” can be to apologize or to sympathize
p. 148 part 1 - Do people usually apologize for these things in your country? How do they apologize? Is it typical to give an explanation or excuse?
Also, do you apologize more or less than other people in your culture?
---
If you dislike someone, many of their habits are annoying.
If you like someone, those same habits can be endearing (= they make you like the person more because they’re “cute” or special for that person).
