Movie Info

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: "Rooster," the son of Maverick's late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka "Goose". Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Will
Hello and welcome to today's Grammar Gameshow! I'm your host, Will! And Will, I am! And of course, let's not forget Leslie, our all-knowing voice in the sky.

Will
Tonight we're going to ask you three questions about...

Leslie
Prepositions. Those little but oh-so-important words for talking about movement, place and time!

Will
OK! Now, let's meet our contestants!

Sully
Hello, all. My name's Sully.

Will
And contestant number two?

Liz
It's nice to meet you. I'm Liz.

Will
Welcome to the Grammar Gameshow, both of you. Enjoy the experience... it could be your last.

Will
I said, let's get going fast! And there's nothing suspicious about that! Our first round is a quick-fire round. Prepositions are often used to connect sentences with a time word. I'm going to tell you a time word, and I want to know the preposition. Here goes! Four o'clock.

Leslie
Excellent work! There are three basic prepositions of time. 'At' is used for times of the day, for example, at four a.m. 'On' is used for days, such as 'on Sunday', or 'on Christmas day'. 'In' is used for periods, such as months, years and seasons. But be careful, some times are irregular, such as 'at night'.

Will
There's nothing irregular about what you do at night, Leslie. We've all occasionally cried in a ball on the floor... every night, right Sully?

Sully
What are you trying to say?

Will
Nothing! You just look like the type.

Will
I said, make sure your answers are right! And there's nothing suspicious about that. Liz has six points, but you only have three! On to round two, and this round is a picture round. Look at the picture and tell me where each person is. One point for every correct preposition.

Liz
But he's also at the pool.

Liz
His finger's in his nose.

Sully
They're walking on the bridge.

Leslie
Good! Prepositions are used to describe the positions of things to other things. Words like 'in', 'on', 'at' , 'over' and 'between', among others, tell us where things are, or where they are moving to. Unfortunately, English has a lot of prepositions which need to be learned. So study hard!

Will
Well done Liz. You did best there, so you can have another four-and-a-half points. How are you doing?

Liz
To be honest, I'm just really thrilled to be here. I never thought I'd get to go onto a quiz programme!

Will
Nor did we! Especially with that face!

Will
I said, no more prepositions of place! And there's nothing suspicious about that. On to our third round. Another group of prepositions is called 'dependent prepositions'. They are the ones which must follow a verb, noun or adjective to connect them to a sentence. Listen to these sentences and tell me why each one is wrong. She's always been good to speaking in public.

Liz
At. Good at speaking in public.

Will
I take a lot of pride to working hard.

Sully
In. Pride in working hard.

Will
You should never rely for other people.

Leslie
Good job! Dependent prepositions are the prepositions which follow a noun, verb or adjective in order to connect it to a sentence. 'Good at', 'pride in', 'rely on'. Be careful though, some words can have more than one preposition, and the choice may determine the meaning.

Will
And that brings us to the end of today's Grammar Gameshow. Let's count out the points... and the winner is... Liz with points! Well done! Here's what you've won!

Will
We'll see you again next week, where you can play for another prize. And Sully, you managed to answer quite a few questions, which surprised me because when I first saw you, I thought you were incredibly stupid!

Will
I said I thought you were incredibly stupid!

Sully
Oh! Good! That's what I thought you said.

Will
Bye-bye. Release the octopi! It looks like we'll need another contestant. Thanks for joining us. Say goodbye Leslie.

Leslie
Au revoir, Leslie!

Will
Hello and welcome to the Grammar Gameshow! I'm your host, Will! - but I'll change for person and time! And of course, let's not forget Leslie, our all-knowing voice in the sky.

Leslie
Welcome, everyone!

Will
Tonight we're going to be asking three questions about...

Leslie
The past continuous tense!

Will
OK! Now, let's meet our contestants!

Greg
Hi, everyone. I'm Greg!

Will
Welcome back Helen! Ok. Let's get going, and don't forget you can play along at home too. Our first round is a battle round. Contestants ask each other questions about the past continuous until one of them makes a mistake. Helen do you want to start?

Will
That's a shame! Greg, you can go first...

Greg
Oh! Right! What is the formula for the past continuous?

Helen
'Was' or 'were' + 'VerbING'. Ha ha! What do we use the past continuous for?

Greg
Actions which are in progress at a past time. Ha ha - yes! Give me an example.

Helen
I was eating dinner at 6pm last night. Ha ha! Do we use the past continuous with state verbs?

Greg
No, not usually. Ha ha - yes! Do we usually use the past continuous with repeated actions?

Will
Oh! That was vicious! Well played, but Helen, you made a mistake there. Leslie?

Leslie
Mostly right! The past continuous is used to describe actions that were in progress at a past time. It is constructed with 'was' or 'were' and 'verbING' - and, being continuous, it does not usually use state verbs. However, it does not usually describe repeated actions or habits either. Sorry Helen, that's the past simple.

Will
Sorry Helen. 20 points to Greg. Let's move on to our next round. Which one of these sentences is incorrect and why?

a) I was walking when I tripped and fell.
b) I was walking while I tripped and fell.
c) When I was walking, I tripped and fell.
d) While I was walking, I tripped and fell.

Greg
Trick question! They are all correct.

Helen
No, no. B is wrong - we don't use 'while' for quick actions. Ha ha!

Will
Wow. You two are really getting into it! Leslie?

Leslie
We often use the past continuous and past simple together to describe a longer action that is interrupted by a short one. These actions are connected with time words like 'when' and 'while'. However, we do not usually use 'while' in front of the short action. Well done Helen.

Will
Well done Helen. 20 points for you! This is exciting. It's neck and neck! It's time for our final question. True or false: The past continuous can make you sound more polite.

Will
It is true! Can you explain how?

Greg
Using the past continuous makes things more polite because it seems temporary and so more casual.

Leslie
Yep. Using the past continuous can make sentences seem more polite by distancing them from the present - this makes them sound more tentative and less assertive. More gentle. For example - 'I was hoping you could lend me money' is more polite than 'I hope you can lend me money'.

Will
Well, this is tricky. Helen you said it was true and Greg you explained it. Who do I give the points to?

Greg
You should give it to me!

Helen
No, I was the one who answered the questionNo you didn't. I got it right. You should give it to me!

Helen
Oh rubbish!

Will
I know! Wasn't that easier? And that brings us to the end of today's Grammar Gameshow. And the winner is.... Me! Well done! Thank you! What have I won?

Leslie
Cash in mixed currency!

Will
It looks like we'll need two more contestants. Thanks for joining us. Say goodbye Leslie
