'You are'

Mr. Brown: Ali, 'you are'

Ali: ... :)

Mr. Brown: You are...

Ali: You are waiting for me to speak an answer. :)

Mr. Brown: Well done! Anna-

Ali: Unfortunately, I am not understanding the question. :)

Mr. Brown: I want you to give me a sentence using 'you are'.

Ali: I am. :)

Mr. Brown: No, not 'I am', 'you are'. For example, you are from Pakistan.

Ali: I am from Pakistan. :)

Mr. Brown: Good, yes, now use 'you are'.

Ali: But I cannot say you are from Pakistan because you are not, are you? :)

Mr. Brown: Repeat after me; you are English.

Ali: No, no, I am from Pakistan. :(

Mr. Brown: WHAT AM I?

Ali: You are confusing me. D:

Ali: Me?

Mr. Brown: Yes, because if you say we're all going to die once more, I shall strangle you!
