-Conversation Tips
Today, let’s talk about the phrase: What happened?
What happened?
At the end of the dialogue, when Ken returns to his desk, Reo asks, “What happened?”
Yeah. “What happened?” is a question you ask when you want to know about a situation or event that has taken place.
Right. Reo wants to know what Saki did when Ken told her he likes her.
Yes, but nothing happened because Ken didn’t tell her.
Right. Maybe he didn’t have the courage.
Or maybe he just thought it would be better to tell her in another place at another time.
Mmm. True. You can use “What happened?” to ask about anything that happened in the past, even just a moment ago. Riku, try practicing with Hannah.
Imagine that she’s writing an e-mail. Okay?
Okay.
Oh, no! I can’t believe it!
What happened?
I sent my message before I finished writing it.
Oh, really? You should cancel your message.
Maybe I should.
