(...) When you hear someone say .Once in a blue moon.... you know what they mean: Rare. Seldom.

Maybe even absurd. After all, when was the last time you saw the moon turn blue?

According to modern folklore, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. Usually months have only one full moon, but occasionally a second one sneaks in. Full moons are separated by 29 days, while most months are 30 or 31 days long; so it is possible to fit two full moons in a single month. This happens every two and a half years, on average.

2nd and 3rd grades

When we talk about situations (general characteristics or circumstances) that exist until the present, we often use either the present perfect simple or continuous:

“Where is Dr Owen’s office?”     “Sorry, I don’t know. I haven’t been working here for long.”

(or I haven’t worked here for long. Present Perfect Continuous emphasizes the activity of working; Present Perfect Simple emphasizes the state of having a job.)

 

We’ve been looking forward to this holiday for ages. (or We’ve looked forward to … . Present Perfect Continuous emphasizes a mental process; Present Perfect Simple emphasizes a mental state.)

Rock School (2nd grade)

Christopher James Hardman (born 26 August 1990), more commonly known by his stage name Lil' Chris, is an English singer-songwriter, actor and television personality.

Hardman, who was born in Lowestoft, England to Ian Hardman and Karen Elizabeth Clarke, rose to prominence in January 2006 at the age of 15 after appearing in series two of Channel 4's Rock School. The TV show saw Gene Simmons (from the band KISS) try to form a rock band out of a class of children attending Kirkley High School (now East Point Academy). In the series, Hardman was immediately seen as a contender for the band after revealing that he could sing, play guitar, drum, and write songs. Eventually Hardman was selected as frontman and lead singer in the line-up for the band (now named "Hoax UK"). In the final episode the band went on to open for Judas Priest, Rob Zombie, and Anthrax at a concert in Long Beach, California.
