Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “Say When” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Dates & Seasons quiz”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
'Say when' tests your vocabulary with days, weeks, dates and seasons.
Whenever you are making plans with people, you will need to discuss times and dates and seasons, and you will need to be able to do this clearly and accurately to avoid confusion.
]It can be quite surprising how differently some languages express the regular pattern of hours, days and months... so make sure that if your language does things differently, you know how to understand (and be understood by) English-speakers!
If you are arranging to go to a party where there may be drinks - and someone is going to pour (for instance) milk into your coffee, or more beer into your glass, or perhaps put some sauce on the side of your plate at a meal - they may ask you to 'Say when!' (Meaning, say 'when' you have as much as you want or need.)
On a similar theme, someone has recently pointed out that if you try the same thing with the days of the week, they go: M, T, 'WTF' ... this sounds a bit like someone that doesn't enjoy their work, and can't cope with any more after Tuesday!
(You may need a kind English friend to explain the acronym 'WTF' gently to you, if you haven't already come across it anywhere.)
