Old Flame


This is an AWESOME and fun term in spoken English.  An  “old flame” is a person you used to date.  This could be your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.  It could also be someone you just dated casually, but weren’t too serious.

You have tickets to a big music festival. You're talking with a friend who's going with you, and you want to express how excited you are.  I am so psyched!

Her Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a little bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, "Nothing".

  • got to see some of my friends in Tokyo last October.
  • Jack said he got to eat delicious food all over Spain.
  • The train shouldn’t be crowded now. I’m sure we will get to sit down.
