I'm sorry but this is a phrase people only Englsih people use (I think so) so...you could help me, Please! (I had to write it hunderds of times, and I didn't knew what it meant)

 

"When a person rides a tiger, it is difficult to get down"

haha no

maybe you mean...

'when you fall off the horse.. you have to get back on'

???

I've never heard that expression, sorry. :huh:

I've been English for 27 years and I've never heard that phrase.. over to Stephen for those extra years :P

I've been English for 27 years and I've never heard that phrase

yeah ive heard phrases that are supposed to be from a certain region or whatever and when i ask someone about it theyre like 'huh?' maybe its something like its tough to get off a tiger because itll attack you if you do so its like when someone gets into a bad situation, like a bad relationship or whatever, they stay with it because they know the breakup would be even worse....but probably not

I supposed that.............. but It's very boring been doing lines when you don't know what it means...................... I was just told

 

"It's and English rephrame or soemnthing like that, from the Indian times (when they had India under their power)............... and that's it! :lol:

haha no

maybe you mean...

'when you fall off the horse.. you have to get back on'

???

 

nope! If you write it more than 300 hundred times, I assure you won't forget it! :lol:

if its just lines than who cares

these arent acutal english phrases

Couldn't get it!!!!! (Your english is bad! :lol: )

 

I care! :lol:

:angry:

Sorry! - my english is very bad! and I can't explain myself clearly (that's that work as an excuse?)

 

Is just ...........I don't understand you! (you're not the only one!)

if you are just writing lines for your english class... then what does it matter?

they are probably just made up...

and they are not actual phrases english people use

I'm not. I was suspended today and they couldn't sent me back, because my house it's not enar. So I had tobe doing lines and missing classes, and I wrote that all morning... but I didn't knew what it meant! and it was English, because the Headmaster, who is an English man from Midlesborough or somenthing like that , gave it to me

headmaster

hahaha

what did you get suspended for?

Somenthing really stupid. ............ The school is in the Middle on nowhere so you're free to do whatever you want to............... and instead of getting to teh school I went with my brother and his best friend to the next field........... and we were late, so we arrived later (There's no way to escape from there, so you need to get bakc to thes chool anyway) and when we were coming back, the Headmaster's daughter was arriving late too, and she saw us playing to the commandos and fooling around and they Punish me! ............... and because I was rude and I missbehave and ............ teacher's thing. I go to school to learn not to be a nice and gentle and so................

My school is really framatic..... "They could have kidnapped you" ........... Sure! Who's going to do that?!.. You have to really fool or ignorant to o that with me! and my frien and brother! .......Por kidnappers! :lol:
