Felina, “to know where you have someone” is a fairly common idiom. I Googled the phrase “where you have him” and found examples such as He seems to be a bit mysterious and I get a feeling that you don’t really know where you have him.

“It’s hard to know where you have a cat.” — where you have soemeone… I did understand what you said in your note, but I really fail to uanderstand whethter it’s a common idiom or just something that is understood from context. If it’s a sommon expressoin, could you plseae give come examples of its usage apart from pets^))

Thank you for your great work — you really help learners to find out something that is not on the surface but is useded daily. Best wishes and Happy New Year! You are the best!))

Omid, just do a google search English podcasts and you will find loads. Alternatively, download and install iTunes on your computer. Then in iTunes, click

There are loads.

Hi Prinkle,

Sorry for the wait for part 2; part 3 should be on schedule for Monday next week. I’m glad you’re enjoying the, ummmm, unusual theme!

As for your question, to find out if someone prefers dogs or cats you could ask A or B below:

A) Are you a dog person or a cat person?
B) Which do you prefer, dogs or cats?

A is more idiomatic, and non-native speakers of English might find it confusing. B is more straightforward and less likely to confuse non-native speakers. Note that these are only 2 of the many possible ways to ask the question; there are many alternatives to both A and B! Maybe you can think of some of your own

Hi Lori,

I regularly checked this site from 13th Oct to 19th to get this 2nd podcast. Finally I got it. Thanks!

The theme of podcast ” Don’t step on the dog doo” is very different and rare one. It’s so real I can’t express it my words.

Great unusual vocabulary atleast for me.

It looks very odd to tell some like, “are you a dog people or a cat people”. The listener may take it other way too. I’m in fix.

Lori, I’m not very good at English so please clear me before I use such sentences in public.

bye
