AEE 2513: Back in 2023: How to Be Clear About Timelines When Storytelling in English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle address a listener's question about clarifying timelines when telling stories in English. They discuss using phrases like "back in [year]" and "way back in [year]" to provide context and avoid confusion. They also explore other ways to signal past events, such as "last month," "a while back," and "a few [time period] ago." The hosts engage in a role-play scenario to demonstrate how to use these phrases in a conversation about catching up with a friend after a long time, emphasizing the importance of time orientation for connection and clarity.
