Hi Lidi, thanks for another great class. I really enjoyed chatting with you about Richard Dawkins and the theist debate. It was great to get your own thoughts on the topic!
One of the main suggestions I had in this class was related to using forms of "to die" colloquially, in the past tense. To recap:
We tend to use "I could have died" if something was really good, like delicious food.
"I wanted to die" would be used in an embarrassing situation, like if you performed very badly in an interview.
"I was dying" is often used when something is funny and you're laughing a lot.
"I was dead" is a common way of saying that you were tired after exercise, which is what you were originally trying to say!
I hope this helps!! :)
