Anglistik
I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough and through.
Well done! And now you wish perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead, it’s said like bed, not bead —
For goodness’ sake don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(they rhyme with suite and straight and debt).

Tas tā, vienk jauks gabals.
Un cik spraigas diskusijas var izvērsties par to, vai lietojams Simple Past vai Present Perfect. Vienā brīdī pasniedzējs vienk izmanto savu profesorisko, bet šajā gadījumā pat vairāk savu native speaker autoritāti, lai uzstātu - but this just sounds wrong in English! Lai tā būtu.
