LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.
