In early June 2024, I had a second conversation with Stephen Corrigan, who is a friend, teacher, and sports enthusiast from Canada. He is a father and small business owner. Here is that interview.

EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #8

For today’s episode, please notice how Steve and Kris use the words “if” and “when”. These two words are used a lot in English. “IF” is used to introduce a possible or unreal situation or condition and “WHEN” is used to refer to the time of a future situation or condition that we are sure about.

For example:

If I am not busy tomorrow, I will go kayaking.”

and

When I’m older, I want to start playing more golf.”

EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #8

The second thing I would like to focus on in today’s interview is how Steve and Kris use the word “originally” to describe a situation that existed first.

For example:

“I love in Japan now, but I am originally from Canada.”

COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR EPISODE #8

  1. How often does Steve play hockey now?

  2. What day of the week does Steve play hockey?

  3. What is Steve’s favorite hockey team?

  4. How long did Steve do karate?

  5. What Japanese sport does Steve enjoy watching the most?

  6. What was Kris wearing when he met KONISHIKI?

  7. Where did Steve meet KONISHIKI?

  8. What sport did Steve try recently that he thought was very difficult?

  9. What sport would Kris and Steve like to play more if they could?

  10. What sport does Steve say is good to do with family?
