Valentyn was caught up by surprise.  Up to now/until now  it was easy to get into the dorm… He said… I’m Valik.. everybody knows me here.. I have been coming to this place for years…

LIving nextdoor to Alice.

Sally called when she got the word
She said, "I suppose you've heard about Alice"
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Alice?
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
Alice?

Grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved our initials deep in the bark, me and Alice
Now she walks through the doors with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice

Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
Then she said, "I know how to help get over Alice"
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here"
You know, I've been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared

Part 4. Grammar-2. Determinantes in English. Articles in English. 

В англійській мові іменник рідко вживається сам по собі. Як правило перед іменником має стояти так званий «визначник»(«детермінант) Детермінанти зв’язують іменник з контекстом речення.

This is a table.  I am a teacher.  She finished her work. We will go to the Carpathians.  Give me some money please. I don’t have any money now.

До таких детермінантів( визначників) іменника відносять:

1. Артиклі a (an), the, що вказують на те, чи є відомим предмет, про який говорять:

There is a ball. The ball is mine. – Є м’яч. М’яч належить мені.

2. Займенники some/any/no/every:

We have some sugar. – В нас є цукор. She doesn’t have any hobby. – В неї немає хобі.

3. Займенники that, this, these, those:

This is my car and that is my house. – Це моя машина, а то – мій дім.

4. Присвійні займенники my, his, her, its, our, your, their:

Her children are at school now. – Її діти зараз у школі.

5. Неозначені займенники much, many, little, few, each, every, either, neither:

Each person has a dream. – у кожної людини є мрія.

6. Питальні займенники what, which и whose:

What do you like the most? – Що тобі найбільше подобається?

7. Іменники в присвійному  відмінку:

Mike’s wife seems tired. – Дружина Майка виглядає втомленою.

8.  Кількісні числівники: один, два, три…

Визначники завжди знаходяться перед визначальним ними іменником і в одному реченні не може бути  двох детермінантів для одного іменника.

Відповідно, артиклі не вживаються якщо перед іменником стоїть один з вищезазначених видів детермінантів. 

Put in “some, any, no”, where it is necessary.

I was happy that the new equipment didn’t let me down.   If it did I would be 

kicked out of the company tomorrow.  The general manager clearly pointed it out on our last management meeting.  I saw him hanging around the

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along(do without something)
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon(on) your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother(disturb) me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend( fix) the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person and still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
