“ House For Sale”

The sign went up one rainy morning

Just a couple of hours after dawn

Mrs. Hadley peaked out through her curtains

Wondering what was going on

The neighbors said over coffee cups

That nice young couple is breaking up

 in the living room the linen and the crystals

Sit all packed and set to go

I tell myself once more I won't be here in spring

To see my roses grow

And all the things you tried to fix

The roof still leaks, the door still sticks

House for sale

You can read it on the sign

House for sale

It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers

Will be climbing up the stairs

To the bedroom filled with memories

The one we used to share

I know you've always loved that painting

From that funny little shop in Spain

Remember how we found it when we ducked in

From that sudden summer rain

But I think I'll keep the silver tray

My mother gave us on our wedding day

House for sale

You can read it on the sign

House for sale

It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers

Will be climbing up the stairs

To the bedroom filled with memories

The one we used to share

House for sale

You can read it on the sign

House for sale

It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers

Will be climbing up the stairs

To the bedroom filled with memories

The one we used to share

House for sale

You can read it on the sign

House for sale

It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers

Will be climbing up the stairs

To the bedroom filled with memories

The one we used to share

House for sale

You can read it on the sign

House for sale, oho

It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers

THE FUTURE TENSE

1. Talking about future actions

We use both will and going to to talk about our future actions but there is a clear difference.

Study this example situation

Helen   : My bicycle has a flat tyre.
               Can you repair it for me ?
Father  : Okay but I can't do it now.
              I'll repair it tomorrow.

Will  : kita menggunakan will bila kita memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu pada saat berbicara.
           Pembicara tidak memutuskan sebelumnya. Sebelum Helen menyuruh ayahnya, dia tidak tahu 
           kalau ban kempes.

Later, Helen's mother spaeaks to her husband.
Mother    : Can you repair Helen's bicycle ?
                  She has a flat tyre.
Father      : Yes, I know. She told me.
                   I am going to repair it tomorrow.

Going to    : kita menggunakan going to bila kita telah memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu.

                   padanya.

   Adjectives like new  /  large  / round  /  wooden are fact adjectives.
   They give us objective information about something. ( age, size, color, etc ).
   Adjective like nice / beautiful are opinion adjectives.
   Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives :
