Understanding the lyrics of a song. Last Saturday I told you about the importance of music to improve your listening and how much your fluency will improve by singing! So this is a link for a song by the Irish band Westlife. I love Ireland! And I love Irish music & singers. The present simple is the tense that is used in this song.
Listen to the song as many times as you need and then fill the gaps. When you finish you can check your answers by looking up the lyrics online. And then... start singing!
