In and Around the UK

Being back in London has its advantages for you the student, as it means that I, your teacher, is back in the thick of her mother tongue.  

Today listening to the Radio i heard the word rave being used and it got me thinking.

The word was used to talk about how people spoke enthusiastically about a movie:

"Everybody raves about that film"

As a noun:
"the film received raves"

As a adjective:
The flim received rave reviews"

Other uses include:

"She kept raving on about the shop keeper"
In this sentence the person is speaking wildly and irrationally about the shop keeper.

"They raved all night at the rave"
The verb in this sentence is the action of dancing and the noun is a type of party with electronic music.

"That bloke is a raving idiot"
A complete idiot
