Feelings and emotions.

Dear teachers, I need your help. I found the song for young children but I �m confused because it �s about feelings. It says: "I �m good, I �m great, I �m wonderful..." Can we use wonderful to speak about feelings?
One more question is about pronunciation of grandfather (grandfather - granfather)- in some dictionaries I found the rule that we omit d, in other dicitonaries we still pronounce - d but not in words like grandmother, grandson. Any help will be useful. |

The �d � can be pronounced in grandmother. I pronounce the �d �, but it �s only just heard. It could be a regional difference. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/grandmother Words are often used in songs that we wouldn �t use in the same way when speaking, but we can use wonderful if we are exaggerating, or in a motivational way as Sophia mentioned. If someone asks, �How are you? � we would not say �wonderful � in the same way as �very well �. We can feel wonderful about something good which has or is going to happen. I feel wonderful. I just won a million dollars! |
