I can't understand you, one minute you love me and next you don't want to be near me. NEXT= This construction is used to express that a situation changes suddenly and unexpectedly: The first part of the sentence (the king is dead) refers to the old king, and the second part (long live the king) refers to the new king, because the moment a king dies, a new king (usually his son) takes his place. LONG LIVE THE KING!= In Europe, in old times, when a king died people would shout: "the king is dead, long live the king!". You can ROLL or CAST a die that means that you throw it to see what number you get.ĬROWD= A big group of people, a multitude. So the word DICE may be singular or plural. Originally, the singular was DIE and the irregular plural was DICE, but today you can also say DICE for the singular and DICES for the plural. You throw/roll/cast the dice to get a random number. A DICE is cube with numbers (dots) on every side. TO ROLL THE DICE = Take my chances = Risk doing something.
