wh queston
Tom: I don't like your hat very much.
Jack: Oh, come on.
Tom: Just kidding.
I want to make a wh question and I want to use "kidding". Is he kidding Jack? Do we need a preposition after kidding or not?
Thanks

Re: wh queston
Yes, in your example he's kidding Jack, and no prepositions are needed. Tom could say "Just kidding!" or "I'm kidding!" or simply "Kidding!" (said with a smile and hands held up in defense), and the meaning would be understood.

Re: wh queston
Why is he kidding; he should be serious.

Re: wh queston
Who are you kidding?
Why is he kidding me?
When was she kidding him?
What are they kidding you about?
How can you be kidding her?

Aha, you can't kid a kidder!

Hi, could you tell me what the phrase mean?
Does it mean that the kidder crossed his arms before his chest?
Thanks

He might (adopting a defensive position), or he might put his hands up in mock surrender, or he might mime a downward wave of the hands (as if trying to calm the other person down).

Re: wh queston
Sorry, BobK, I still can not well understand the situation, could you give me more samples about this.
Thanks

Re: wh queston
This'll teach me to interfere in Ouisch's conversation.
I have a feeling that the more I say, the more confused you'll get. Can some other teacher take over?
Sorry, wuwei.

Re: wh queston
You'd say "Just kidding!" while holding your hands in front of you, at approximately shoulder level, with the fingers pointing up towards the sky. Sort of the same way you'd hold your hands if you'd been arguing with a friend and then you'd say "OK, I give up!"
