EASY ENGLISH CONVERSATION: How to tell a story in English

Telling stories during conversations can be difficult for English learners, but it’s an important skill to have and a great way for people to get to know you. In this class, I will teach you how to tell a story during a conversation. I will teach you key expressions we use to start telling a story including: “Did I ever tell you about...”, Let me tell you about...”, “That reminds me of...”, and “You’ll never guess what happened!” I will teach you key words and some grammar (i.e. simple past tense, past continuous tense) that we often use when we tell a story. Finally, learn a great phrase to use if no one laughs at a funny story: “You had to be there.” www.engvid.com/easy-english-c...

Hello Emma. I was wondering if it’s grammatically incorrect to say “the first time we got married…” to refer to the beginning or the start of an event and not the number of marriages in this example?
