A: Why are you on cloud nine? You don’t laugh often.
B: You know, I was really crazy about cats. I finally persuaded my mom to buy me a cat!
A: That’s why you are so happy? Just because of one cat?
B: Yes, why?
A: So what does your cat look like?
B: It isn’t showing off but… she’s very expensive. She has glossy blue fur with yellow eyes.
A: Ha… I’m envy of you! But she might turn the tables on you!
B: Why?
A: She might scratch you with its claws! She can scatter your things over.
B: Nah… never mind. She is really nice cat. She will never do those!
A: Okay. But be careful. She really might turn the tables on you! We can’t predict cats’ mind!

Student: Why are you on cloud nine? Youdon't laugh often.

Correct: Whydon't you laugh often when you are on cloud nine?

Explanation: Cloudnine means 'a state of perfect happiness', so your sentences arecontradicting.


Student: That's why you are so happy?

Correct:Is that the reason why you are so happy?

Explanation: 'That'swhy you are so happy' is a statement and placing a question mark atthe end doesn't justify that it's grammatically correct as aquestion.


Student: It isn't showing off but'

Explanation: Thecat itself is not showing off that she's expensive, but I think theperson who's talking is referring to himself.


Student: I'm envy of you!

Correct:I envy you! / I am envious of you!

Explanation:'Am' is a linking verb and it should be followed by anoun/adjective; in the correct sentence, 'envious' is the adjectivedescribing himself. You can also say 'I envy you'; with 'envy' as averb which is something that he feels or do.


Student: She is really nice cat.

Correct: Sheis a really nice cat.

Explanation: Use'a' as the determiner for the noun 'cat'.
