LOVE .... LOVE ... LOVE ... Has everything been said?

What has there not been said and written about love!

Romance novels, romantic movies, love poems,

Valentine's Day cards and wishes, 

love quotes, song lyrics, and more.

I have been thinking how to approach the subject

 in a different way and, as a teacher, 

I have what I think, is a great idea. 

Why not be practical instead of romantic!

 Let's use your extraordinary and very useful dictionary, 

TO LOVE (verb) and LOVE (noun)

page 441    Let's go!!

To love: verb [T]

1. To like someone in a romantic or sexual way: I love you.| The first boy I ever really   loved.

THESAURUS:

If you are infatuated with someone, you have unreasonably strong feelings of love for them.

If you have a crush on someone, you have a strong feeling for them, but it usually only lasts for a short period of time. Carrie has a crush on her next door neighbour.

If you are crazy about someone, you love them very much, especially in a way that you cannot really control.

If you are devoted to someone, you love them and are loyal to them. He has always been devoted to his wife.

* OPPOSITE: to hate

2. to care about someone a lot, especially a member of your family,or a close friend. I love my Mom!| It can be hard to cope with the loss (or death) of a loved one > someone you care about.

3. to like something very much, or enjoy doing something a lot: I love chocolate! 

    love doing something: Pete loves to go to the cinema.

    love to do something: When he was young, he loved to spend time reading.

4. spoken: to express or say something that you want to do very much: I'd love to (do something): I'd love to go to Bali one day! | Do you want to come? I'd love to.

:OOO ... OK!

I would love to keep on writing right now, 

but I would like to take a break.

I will address LOVE as a noun tomorrow!

P.S. Have you planned your Valentine's Day celebrations yet? 

       I have a feeling that this weekend will be a LOVEFEST!!!
