Mr. Bean is a famous character of British comedy. He uses his wit to find creative and adventurous solutions to daily problems. Through the expertise of the actor who plays him, Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean can make people all over the world laugh without needing translation!
Today we’ll watch one of his most famous stunts and practice our use of prepositions. This was a topic brought up recently by one of our students in Nagakute! Prepositions are small but very important parts of language. Some of them, such as “in” and “on” sound similar and have similar uses, but they have nuances that can change the meaning of the phrase! We’ll also study some useful words about roads and traffic.
Let's watch a video of Mr. Bean to help us understand the nuances of prepositions.
