I want to go out with friends this evening, but my parents say I can't. "How about..."
How about negotiating with them. You do some housework in exchange for going out.
A boy at school took my books and money. He's big and scary. What should I do? "It's time..."
"It's time you defended yourself. I'll help you"
My parents want me to go to bed early but I want to watch TV. "You'd..."
You'd better do what they say otherwise they might ground you.
I play computer games all day. I can't stop. "It's..."
It's (high/about) time you got some willpower sunshine!
I love chocolate! I eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. "You'd better..."
You'd better think abotu giving it up because you're going to be really unhealthy.
I'm thirsty. There isn't any water in the fridge. "Why don't..."
Why don't you go and buy some or use tap water!
I don't remember some English grammar. "If..."
If I were you I'd ask the teacher for extra work.
It's raining outside. I want to go out. "Why..."
Why don't you grab an umbrella and just for for a walk in the rain!
It's 9 p.m. and I haven't finished my homework. My teacher will be very angry. "You'd better..."
You'd better get started then!
I'm 30 and I still live at home. "It's time..."
It's time you became more independent.
I want to have a pet but I live in a very small house. "If I were..."
If I were you, I'd get a hamster.
I'm not very good at writing in English. OUGHT
Well, you ought to practise more!
I'm always late for school. "It's about time..."
It's about time you learnt to put on an alarm earlier than usual.
I often feel tired in the morning. "If..."
If I were you, I'd go to bed earlier.
I think my cat can understand English. I want him to be a star. OUGHT
You ought to go and see a psychiatrist.
I want a new mobile phone but I don't have enough money. "It's about time..."
It's about time you got a job and saved up then.
