This programme is helpful. I found that it is unforgetable and easier to learn those English idoms. Thank you intelligent man. ( PS. Why does "brown and sticky" make people laugh? I know the answer is stick, but I don't find it funny because I still don't get it...)

@p91156 It's funny because sticky has two meanings - sticky like glue or jam and a stick like off a tree. It's really a kids joke because you're supposed to think the answer is 'poo' but it's 'stick'.

@brucewayne201 - it's true that 'very fantastic' is not correct - however fantastic is not a verb, but an adjective. 'Extremely fantastic' would also be wrong, by the way ;-)

[brucewayne201]

very fantastic is incorrect.

Fantastic is a "strong" verb, and with verbs like that, one can only use adverbs such as extremeley, really and so on

Tell me the truth. Are you on drugs? : - )
