I’m not all that keen on any sort of exercise although I am well aware of the benefits of even just walking. When my neighbour rang to see if I’d like to go for a walk I didn’t have the heart to say no so off we went. About 20...

NJ Chicaa @bobosusanwang no. It is just an exaggerated way of saying "hop hop hop. . . Hoppity-hop". it is just like a childish way of saying hop or a special way of saying it.

We were taught at school that we should always add the word "the" before an instrument. Such as, I can play the piano. I can play the guitar. I want to know if it's true? Do you always use "the" when you say you can play an...
