In this episode, a smell hangs in the air that catches you mid-step, cuts through the day, and takes you somewhere you weren’t expecting.I walk through these moments: petrol on a cold service station forecourt, the sea before you see it, the green breath of the ground after rain, and the warm weight of a scent you can’t quite name.This is a slow wander through memory, the way certain smells outlast the years, and the quiet joy of letting them hold you for a while.Linguistically, it features adjectival post-position, nominalised clauses as subjects, and resumptive modifiers - structures that add texture, depth, and rhythm to advanced storytelling.If you’ve ever been pulled somewhere far away by nothing more than the air around you, this one’s for you.✨ Get this episode’s transcript: https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-favourite-17-136764083🧠 Today We Learn:Vocabulary: Smells & Senses, Memory & Emotion Triggers, Movement & Smell ActionsGrammar: Adjectival Post-Position to sound more poetic, rhythmic, or descriptive, Nominalised Clauses as Subjects to make an abstract idea the main focus of the sentence, Resumptive Modifiers to repeats a noun (or pronoun) and add extra detail or commentary after it.🐣 Too difficult?
