okay it's really far and when did people

stop understanding the phrase get the

hell out of my way you're aino speaker

yeah who's making the decision Professor

Sherman yeah meeting with him today no

he is a pretty tough guy to impress yeah

well I think I know how to Dazzle him oh

you're not going to do a magic trick are

you

no the data we're receiving from MRI

scans and DNA testing of these fossils

are are staggering mhm I mean we've been

accepting leaky dates as as a given but

if they're off by even a 100,000 years

or so then you can you can just throw

most of our assumptions you know right

in the

trash so so what I'm saying is

is is

that is that uh

repercussions could could be huge I mean

not just in in paleontology but if you

think about it in in evolutionary

biology uh genetics uh geology I mean

truly the the mind boggles

well that's not what you

Key Grammar Structures

• and it was Ern mbrt who first hypothesized that the Velociraptor when threatened would expand its color and emit a high pitched noise to frighten off its Predator

  ➔ Past Perfect Tense & Conditional Clause (Type 2)

  ➔ The phrase "had hypothesized" (past perfect) indicates an action completed *before* another action in the past. The 'when threatened' clause sets up a hypothetical situation. If the Velociraptor *were* threatened, it *would* expand its color.

• yes Mr Lewis what kind of noise just a high pitched intimidating noise but like how well we we don't know for sure but in my head it it's sounded something like this

  ➔ Indirect Questions & Tag Questions/Repetition for Emphasis

  ➔ "what kind of noise" is an indirect question. The repetition of "it it's" emphasizes the speaker's uncertainty and imaginative thought process. The use of 'like' is a discourse marker indicating hesitation and seeking clarification.

• oh oh what doorknob door sorry um I actually do need to talk to you

  ➔ Interjections & Discourse Markers

  ➔ The repeated "oh oh" are interjections expressing surprise or realization. "Um" is a filler/discourse marker indicating hesitation. These elements contribute to a natural, conversational tone.

• uh of course this is just conjecture Professor Geller oh a student I don't know I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment

  ➔ Reported Speech (Indirect Speech) & Polite Requests

  ➔ "I was wondering if I could..." is a polite way of making a request, using a past continuous form to soften the directness. It's an example of indirect speech.
