| Mensagem: |
There is this nice song in which we hear:
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady Answer: If you were a carpenter and I were a lady
Meaning the guy is not a carpenter and she is no lady. All they want is to make babies.
( This ties in with the irreality we speak about discussing the use of the conditional in the tumblebug topic further on) |
