Hi there.
"California Dreaming"
1. Does it mean the writer is dreaming about California so the fact is that he is not in California?
2. Is it OK to say, "Alberta dreaming" meaning I'm dreaming about Alberta?
"I passed along the way"
3. Does it mean 'I walked along the hallway'?
"You know the preacher likes the cold"
4. I wonder why the preacher likes the cold weather?
"If I didn't tell her, I could leave today."
5. What does the quote above mean? Is it a subjunctive mood?
