• How did your physics exam go? is a way of saying “How was your physics exam?”
• I’m just glad … Notice the stress on “glad.” “Just” is used for emphasis before an
adjective here.
• How about you … Notice the intonation falls here because the speaker is going to
follow it up with a detailed question.
• How’d your presentation … Notice the contraction for “How did” sounds like /howdj/
and “your” sounds like /yer/.
• Do you feel like here has the meaning of “do you want to.” Notice “do you feel like” is
followed by an “-ing” verb (studying).
