昨年ここシリコンバレーに在住の日本人（駐在員、主婦、語学留学生、大学生、大学院生）合計４８人にアンケート調査をした結果、多くの人が動詞の時制や気持ちを伝達する助動詞、冠詞、前置詞、代名詞、慣用句などの使い方がはっきりしないという答えが返ってきました。それもそのはずです。例えば同じ現在完了進行形でも「既に終了している動作」と「まだ終了していない動作」の３つの違った用法があります。同じ「have been～ing」の形なのにです。また気持ちを表現するのに大変重要な助動詞のShould、Could、Wouldなども明確に理解されていないのも事実です。そこで開発されたのがこの「アメリカ人の心の英文法」。英文法、慣用句、そしてアメリカ人がどのように喜怒哀楽、つまり「心」を表現するのか。その全てをこのシリーズに導入しました。「冠詞」や「前置詞」または慣用句(句動詞)にいたっては実践での使用方法が分からないと答えた方がほとんどでした。そんな悩みにお答えする為に通常の文法レッスンに加えアメリカ人の日常会話には欠かせない慣用句も今回は紹介して行きます。このレッスンのテキスト（PDF及びiPod専用テキスト）は、English Vitaminのショップで購入できます。
