How to express surprise and disbelief - Idioms and question tags

http://www.animalpictures1.com/data/media/125/funny_pink_cat.jpgHey,

 

today we first had a little chat in English about my crazy personal life... Indeed... I have 24 cats at home... It was of course a pretext to have you talk in English and prepare for the oral comprehension placement test.

 

How to express surprise and disbelief with idioms and question tags.

Come on, you can't be serious.
You're not serious, are you?
You're lying, aren't you?

Really? It's wrong, isn't it?
She is not serious, is she?


You're joking, aren't you?
You're kidding me
You're laughing at me
You're pulling my leg
I can't believe you!


Question tags: demander la confirmation que l'on a compris ou non.

You x+x understand, don't you? (on présuppose que la personne comprend)
You don't understand, do you? (on présuppose que la personne ne comprend pas)

 

Then you took your oral understanding placement test. You can listen to the document again below:

 

 

HW: for Friday, don't forget that you will have an irregular verb test and that you need to come to class with your printed visual, and your role prepared so that you can work in groups and exchange your views about the poster you have selected. If you need help, don't hesitate and contact me.
