English Questions From My Turkish Colleagues

This will be an ongoing post as I get new entertaining questions from the Turkish English teachers.

- What's the difference between "at the top of" and "on the top of?"

- Does the wind "howl" ? Or just dogs?

- Do toys "squeak" ?

- What's the past tense of "hang out?" "hanged out" or "hung out"

- Are the girls' uniform skirts "checkerd?"
No they are "plaid."
Are you sure they aren't checkered?
Yes, it's like a Scottish kilt, not a chess board.
