| 02:57 | is here . So I'll show you today's lesson boards | |
| 03:00 | . Here are today's lesson boards . These are the | |
| 03:02 | idioms I have chosen , I have chosen 13 . | |
| 03:06 | I think I just chose some that I think are | |
| 03:09 | really fun and interesting and useful that I use as | |
| 03:12 | well . So these are all of the idioms we're | |
| 03:15 | going to talk about today uh and then I'm going | |
| 03:19 | to give a short explanation and some examples of each | |
| 03:23 | one , but please send me your examples in the | |
| 03:26 | chat . And also I was thinking too , if | |
| 03:28 | you have an idiom it's similar to the english idiom | |
| 03:32 | in your language or in in a language that you | |
| 03:34 | know you can send that in the chat . Those | |
| 03:36 | are really fun to compare . I think . So | |
| 03:39 | , let's get started . Ok . My first one | |
| 03:43 | is uh which one did I say ? I was | |
| 03:46 | going to be the first one ? I forgot . | |
| 03:48 | I have so many . Let me see . Okay | |
| 03:50 | , good . Uh Let's get to this one first | |
| 03:53 | . All right . First list . We're gonna start | |
| 03:57 | with something positive for today . First idiom for today | |
| 04:00 | comes from baseball . A lot of idioms you'll notice | |
| 04:04 | are kind of sports related idioms . So , this | |
| 04:07 | will be kind of a common theme in today's lesson | |
| 04:11 | , some sports related expressions . So let's take a | |
| 04:15 | look at this first one . This one is knock | |
| 04:17 | it out of the park to knock it out of | |
| 04:22 | the park , or to knock something out of the | |
| 04:25 | park means to do something extremely well to do something | |
| 04:31 | extremely well to do something very , very well . | |
| 04:34 | So this expression is a baseball related expression . Yeah | |
| 04:39 | , to knock something means like to hit something quickly | |
| 04:42 | . Usually , like we can say I knocked my | |
| 04:45 | board over when I was running by . For example | |
| 04:48 | , however , this knock to knock comes from baseball | |
| 04:53 | , like to hit a ball to knock a baseball | |
| 04:56 | out of the park means outside of the baseball park | |
| 05:00 | , outside of the baseball stadium . So that's a | |
| 05:03 | good thing in baseball , right ? Like that's the | |
| 05:05 | best thing home run . So that means when we | |
| 05:09 | use this expression we are referring to something that is | |
| 05:13 | very good , very positive , very , very well | |
| 05:16 | done . So for example , if you want to | |
| 05:19 | compliment someone's cooking , for example , distance , knocked | |
| 05:23 | it out of the park or this dinner is amazing | |
| 05:27 | , you knocked it out of the park . That | |
| 05:29 | means did something extremely well . So you can use | |
| 05:33 | this to complement something . Okay , good . Let's | |
| 05:37 | go to the next one . The next one is | |
| 05:39 | a really funny expression . Uh , this next one | |
| 05:42 | is back seat driver , back seat driver . Okay | |
| 05:47 | , so a backseat driver . It's short , right | |
| 05:51 | back seat . So imagine a car . Yeah . | |
| 05:54 | So in your car there's a front seat and a | |
| 05:56 | back seat . Yeah , in the front seat . | |
| 05:59 | Is that where the driver sits ? Yeah , in | |
| 06:02 | the back seat is the passenger . So a backseat | |
| 06:06 | driver is someone who is not in charge . They're | |
| 06:10 | not in control . They give lots of like advice | |
| 06:14 | and instructions and you don't ask for it . It's | |
| 06:16 | really like irritating . So we call that type of | |
| 06:21 | person a backseat driver . So in your life you | |
| 06:25 | can imagine , let's say for example , you're cooking | |
| 06:29 | something and someone is in the kitchen , they're not | |
| 06:32 | helping you , They're not cooking what they're telling you | |
| 06:36 | what to do . I cut the onions this way | |
| 06:38 | or put this in , don't use that , that's | |
| 06:41 | a backseat driver in your kitchen . So you can | |
| 06:44 | use this expression to talk about someone who is not | |
| 06:48 | in charge or someone who is not in control of | |
| 06:51 | the situation , but they give lots of unasked for | |
| 06:55 | advice and lots of like instructions and you're like , | |
| 06:59 | it's so irritating . So that's called a backseat driver | |
| 07:03 | . Maybe you have a backseat driver in your house | |
| 07:06 | . I everybody does this sometimes everybody does this sometimes | |
| 07:11 | fun expression , Okay . Oh great . Lots of | |
| 07:13 | you are writing a good expressions with knock it out | |
| 07:16 | of the park . Good Batna says we are here | |
| 07:18 | to work on knocking it out of the park in | |
| 07:21 | english great job , Maria says you knock youtube out | |
| 07:24 | of the park , thank you , That's super nice | |
| 07:26 | . Conwell g says I had an english test and | |
| 07:29 | I knocked it out of the park . Perfect , | |
| 07:31 | great job everybody . Um Obama also says my sister | |
| 07:35 | is a backseat driver , that's pretty funny . Good | |
| 07:39 | example of everyone . Okay , let's go to the | |
| 07:42 | next one . Okay , this next one . I | |
| 07:45 | used this expression on my instagram yesterday when I told | |
| 07:49 | you about today's livestream , I said uh you can | |
| 07:53 | join live or watch later . I said you can | |
| 07:56 | watch on youtube and then I said you know the | |
| 07:59 | drill , you know the drill , This is a | |
| 08:01 | very common expression and I use this expression a lot | |
| 08:05 | , I think I use this a lot online in | |
| 08:09 | live streams on instagram and so on , which means | |
| 08:12 | you know this routine . So a drill , a | |
| 08:16 | drill means like a concentrated practice . So yes , | |
| 08:21 | we have like a drill maybe you know the tool | |
| 08:24 | we use for construction , but this drill is different | |
| 08:28 | , this means routine or like focused practice or like | |
| 08:33 | the same thing you always do in this case our | |
| 08:36 | routine is joining the live stream every week . Right | |
| 08:40 | many of you have a routine . So it's a | |
| 08:43 | drill . Uh we can we can use it to | |
| 08:46 | mean sort of like concentrated practice . So when someone | |
| 08:49 | says you know the drill it means you understand the | |
| 08:53 | routine or I expect you understand this exercise . So | |
| 08:58 | in my example , yesterday I said join live watch | |
| 09:02 | later , you can swipe up here for the youtube | |
| 09:05 | blessing . You know the drill Like you already know | |
| 09:08 | , I expect you already know this experience . So | |
| 09:11 | this is a very good way to express that . | |
| 09:15 | You know , someone else knows a routine . Mm | |
| 09:19 | So this is a very common expression you can use | |
| 09:23 | when you are doing something regular . Okay , I | |
| 09:27 | don't see other questions so I'll continue last one for | |
| 09:30 | this . Another very common one . I use this | |
| 09:33 | in many different situations . This expression is to hit | |
| 09:38 | a wall to hit a wall . To hit a | |
| 09:41 | wall means to reach a point where it's difficult to | |
| 09:46 | continue to hit a wall . So imagine like physically | |
| 09:50 | you could say you're running and you meet a wall | |
| 09:54 | . This doesn't mean you physically meet a wall . | |
| 09:57 | Yeah , it means mentally inside your mind . So | |
| 10:00 | for example , when you're studying , like maybe you've | |
| 10:04 | tried to study for two hours and you get really | |
| 10:07 | tired and at that point it's difficult to continue . | |
| 10:12 | You can say I hit a wall with my studies | |
| 10:17 | . We use with in this expression I hit a | |
| 10:19 | wall with my studies or maybe when you're eating , | |
| 10:22 | you're eating something super delicious and it's so good and | |
| 10:26 | you want to eat more , but you're so full | |
| 10:29 | . You can say I hit a wall , I | |
| 10:31 | can't eat anymore . So this is a great expression | |
| 10:35 | to use in many situations where you can't continue . | |
| 10:40 | It doesn't mean physically hitting a wall . I hope | |
| 10:43 | , I hope you don't hit a wall physically , | |
| 10:45 | but it means , uh , the condition in your | |
| 10:48 | life , a condition in your situation . Okay . | |
| 10:52 | I'm looking for your questions . Uh , someone said | |
| 10:56 | , where's your instagram ? My instagram I think is | |
| 10:58 | in the youtube description . If not , I'll add | |
| 11:00 | it there later . I hit a wall with my | |
| 11:04 | admissions in university . Good example . I'm looking for | |
| 11:09 | other examples . Someone on facebook is writing the same | |
| 11:12 | thing . Don't flood the chat . Don't write the | |
| 11:14 | same thing on facebook or Youtube please . Sunlight is | |
| 11:18 | hitting the camera . Look at this beautiful ray of | |
| 11:20 | sunlight . It's very bright and beautiful here today . | |
| 11:23 | Okay , so that's our first list for today . | |
| 11:27 | I'm going to stop there and take a quick break | |
| 11:30 | and then we'll continue On a good example in Med | |
| 11:34 | Kerry . Sorry , on Facebook said in terms of | |
| 11:37 | economic crises , some countries hit the Wall . Good | |
| 11:41 | job . Nice one . Um , Gabriel , AJ | |
| 11:46 | Gabriel says , I know the drill to always turn | |
| 11:48 | on these live notifications . Perfect Maria says . So | |
| 11:53 | you can use hit in present and past tense . | |
| 11:55 | Yes , the past tense of hit is hit . | |

| 13:14 | . Okay , so this was group one . Now | |
| 13:16 | let's go to group to group to continuing on . | |
| 13:22 | All right . Great questions and examples by the way | |
| 13:25 | . Fantastic . Okay , Let's go to this next | |
| 13:28 | group . 1st 1 , This expression , another common | |
| 13:32 | one is to wake up on the wrong side of | |
| 13:37 | the bed to wake up on the wrong side of | |
| 13:40 | the bed means to be in a bad mood to | |
| 13:43 | be in a bad mood . So this , the | |
| 13:47 | idea here to wake up on the wrong side of | |
| 13:50 | the bed . I mean maybe that happens to you | |
| 13:53 | . It's unrelated , but this means it's like saying | |
| 13:57 | from the moment your eyes opened in the morning , | |
| 14:01 | you were not normal , like you were mentally in | |
| 14:06 | a bad place . So to wake up on the | |
| 14:09 | wrong side of the bed means to be in a | |
| 14:11 | bad mood . So sometimes you'll hear like family members | |
| 14:15 | ask someone like when I was a little kid and | |
| 14:18 | I was in a bad mood , my mom asked | |
| 14:21 | me , she would ask me , did you wake | |
| 14:23 | up on the wrong side of the bed today ? | |
| 14:27 | So it's asking are you in a bad mood ? | |
| 14:30 | It's kind of like , but using this expression is | |
| 14:33 | a little more fun instead of saying why are you | |
| 14:37 | in a bad mood ? It's like what happened ? | |
| 14:39 | Like this is a little more friendly and kind of | |
| 14:42 | cute . So you can use this if you notice | |
| 14:45 | someone is in a bad mood , you can say | |
| 14:47 | , did you wake up on the wrong side of | |
| 14:48 | the bed today to show you can see the other | |
| 14:52 | person is unhappy . Is that even english ? Yes | |
| 14:56 | , it is . It is very much english . | |
| 14:58 | Okay , I don't see questions . Let's continue . | |
| 15:02 | Next is get your house in order to get your | |
| 15:06 | house in order . So in order in order means | |
| 15:11 | organized like nice , clean tidy . Yeah , so | |
| 15:15 | to get your house in order , of course we | |
| 15:18 | can use this to mean like to clean our home | |
| 15:22 | , we can use it to mean to organize our | |
| 15:24 | home , but we also use this to mean to | |
| 15:27 | organize your life . Like maybe you have many tasks | |
| 15:31 | to do , like you have to pay some bills | |
| 15:34 | and you have to go to like run some errands | |
| 15:37 | , whatever you have a few tasks you need to | |
| 15:39 | do , like usually kind of small tasks , you | |
| 15:43 | need to take care of these . You can say | |
| 15:45 | I need to get my house in order or he | |
| 15:48 | needs to get his house in order . So generally | |
| 15:52 | we use when we talk about ourselves , like I | |
| 15:56 | typically don't use this expression to talk about other people's | |
| 16:00 | lives . I use it to express the things I | |
| 16:03 | need to take care of . Like I need to | |
| 16:05 | get my house in order . Haven't taken care of | |
| 16:08 | these things in a week . So to get your | |
| 16:10 | house in order means to organize your house and your | |
| 16:14 | life . Javier can I say I got up with | |
| 16:18 | the left foot in english ? No , maybe in | |
| 16:20 | your your language you have that expression , but we | |
| 16:23 | do not have that expression . I got up with | |
| 16:26 | the left foot chosen says I woke up on the | |
| 16:29 | wrong side of the bed today . Oh no . | |
| 16:31 | So that means you are in a bad mood . | |
| 16:33 | I hope you're not in a bad mood . I | |
| 16:36 | met on facebook says most of the time I wake | |
| 16:38 | up on the wrong side of the bed . Oh | |
| 16:40 | no . Oh no . Maybe you should have a | |
| 16:43 | warm cup of coffee or tea in the morning to | |
| 16:45 | improve your mood . Yeah . Uh yeah , interesting | |
| 16:50 | . Someone else on facebook says I I wake up | |
| 16:52 | on the left foot . Is that an expression ? | |
| 16:54 | What language is that expression from ? We don't have | |
| 16:56 | that expression in english the left foot expression . I'm | |
| 17:00 | very curious . Okay um let's go , let's go | |
| 17:04 | to the next one . The next one is an | |
| 17:06 | interesting one to go out on a limb . To | |
| 17:09 | go out on a limb . This word is lim | |
| 17:12 | , what is a limb please ? Okay limb . | |
| 17:15 | Imagine a tree . So a tree has branches , | |
| 17:19 | right ? The word we use to talk about a | |
| 17:22 | tree's branches or is lim a limb . So when | |
| 17:28 | we say we go out on a limb , imagine | |
| 17:32 | crawling out on a tree branch , dangerous , right | |
| 17:35 | ? You might fall off you you might make a | |
| 17:38 | mistake . This expression to go out on a limb | |
| 17:43 | means to say something that might not be true , | |
| 17:47 | you're not sure , It might be wrong , it | |
| 17:50 | might be bad , you're not sure . So you | |
| 17:54 | use this expression to mean I'm going to say something | |
| 17:57 | and I'm not sure about it , it might not | |
| 18:00 | be right , that's what this expression means . So | |
| 18:03 | we use this when we're like sharing new information , | |
| 18:07 | like I'm gonna go out on a limb here is | |
| 18:10 | a very common expression . I use this , I'm | |
| 18:13 | gonna go out on a limb here . So that | |
| 18:16 | here means about this point , I'm gonna go out | |
| 18:19 | on a limb here and say so , it means | |
| 18:23 | I'm not sure . But also sometimes people use this | |
| 18:27 | one sarcastically to me , like they used this before | |
| 18:31 | , something they're very sure is true , but they | |
| 18:34 | use it to be funny . Oh , someone said | |
| 18:36 | what the expression was from , that was from spanish | |
| 18:38 | . The left foot is spanish expression okay , I | |
| 18:41 | learned something today , so to go out on a | |
| 18:44 | limb , so what's a good example of this ? | |
| 18:46 | Like , I'm gonna go out on a limb here | |
| 18:48 | and say that that expression was from Vietnamese for example | |
| 18:54 | , like I'm just I'm it's like I'm putting myself | |
| 18:57 | in a dangerous situation or an uncertain situation , so | |
| 19:01 | I know it's not true obviously , but if I | |
| 19:04 | want to make a guess , I could say this | |
| 19:08 | , it's not like fake news chiyo , it's not | |
| 19:11 | really about , it's like when you want to uh | |
| 19:14 | like something at work , maybe like I'm gonna go | |
| 19:17 | out on a limb here and guess our project was | |
| 19:19 | canceled , like or maybe that's not the best expression | |
| 19:23 | , so it's kind of when we're like , we | |
| 19:26 | feel like there's some risk in what we are saying | |
| 19:29 | , like we're not sure about our own uh idea | |
| 19:34 | , so we use it a little bit more to | |
| 19:36 | talk about ourselves . Yes . It can mean like | |
| 19:39 | to take a risk . Exactly . Exactly . Okay | |
| 19:42 | , very nice . Let's go to the next one | |
| 19:45 | . This one another super common expression . Something rings | |
| 19:49 | a bell so it rings a bell or that rings | |
| 19:52 | a bell . That means it sounds familiar , Sounds | |
| 19:56 | familiar , something sounds familiar . Like I've heard that | |
| 19:59 | before . So if someone says , do you know | |
| 20:03 | , so and so or have you heard of such | |
| 20:06 | and such thing you might say , hmm , that | |
| 20:09 | rings a bell . So that's like saying maybe I've | |
| 20:12 | heard it . I feel like I heard it somewhere | |
| 20:15 | , but I don't remember . So this is super | |
| 20:18 | useful when you think maybe I know that thing , | |
| 20:22 | maybe I've heard of that , but I'm not sure | |
| 20:24 | . You can say , oh yeah , that rings | |
| 20:27 | a bell or it rings a bell . I'm not | |
| 20:29 | sure though . So that's the feeling you have when | |
| 20:33 | you use this expression , when you're not sure , | |
| 20:36 | but you want to express that you feel some kind | |
| 20:39 | of connection that rings a bell that rings a bell | |
| 20:44 | . Uh Australia says , are you going to save | |
| 20:46 | this live video on Youtube ? Yes , all of | |
| 20:48 | these videos are saved on Youtube . You can watch | |
| 20:50 | it at any time . Um Batna says english class | |
| 20:54 | one on one is ring a bell . So no | |
| 20:57 | , is there english class one ? Oh one rings | |
| 21:01 | a bell for me these days , but that means | |
| 21:04 | english class one on one . Sounds familiar . We | |
| 21:07 | use sounds familiar when we are , when we hear | |
| 21:10 | about , we hear the name of something like we | |
| 21:13 | hear a musical artist or we hear of a movie | |
| 21:15 | , we hear maybe of a Youtube channel and we | |
| 21:18 | just want to say , I think I've heard of | |
| 21:21 | that before . Mhm Okay , onward , let's continue | |
| 21:28 | . Uh So , it doesn't just mean I know | |
| 21:31 | that thing , we use it when we're like refreshing | |
| 21:34 | our memory kind of Okay , on to the next | |
| 21:37 | one . This one , maybe many of you are | |
| 21:40 | experiencing these days to burn the candle at both ends | |
| 21:45 | . To burn the candle at both ends . I | |
| 21:48 | have a candle . I'm gonna grab it , okay | |
| 21:51 | , to burn the candle at both ends means first | |
| 21:54 | of all , to work very hard or to be | |
| 21:58 | very busy . So what does , what does the | |
| 22:00 | image here ? So , if you imagine a candle | |
| 22:03 | , right , I won't show the brand , you | |
| 22:04 | imagine . You have a candle . Usually you light | |
| 22:07 | one end of the candle . Yeah . And it | |
| 22:10 | burns just one direction . When you light the candle | |
| 22:14 | at both ends . This expression , it's like one | |
| 22:18 | side is on fire and the other side is on | |
| 22:21 | fire . So the candle disappears very quickly . So | |
| 22:25 | , this means you are working very hard and you're | |
| 22:28 | very , very busy but your energy is going away | |
| 22:34 | very fast . So this means like you are doing | |
| 22:38 | too much . So if you know somebody who's working | |
| 22:41 | really , really hard or their life super fast paced | |
| 22:44 | or something , you might say he's burning the candle | |
| 22:48 | at both ends . So it's like , it's too | |
| 22:50 | much . That person's energy is going away too quickly | |
| 22:54 | . Like a candle lit on both sides . Okay | |
| 23:00 | , all right , I don't see other questions . | |
| 23:04 | Min says I was burning the candle at both ends | |
| 23:07 | this year . Yeah , I think for a lot | |
| 23:09 | of people , a lot of us have that experience | |
| 23:11 | of trying to do many things and using a lot | |
| 23:14 | of our energy this year , maybe many people , | |
| 23:17 | Jazmine says I'm burning the candle at both ends with | |
| 23:21 | my school . Oh yeah , for sure . Super | |
| 23:23 | stressful . But good luck . Yeah . Okay , | |
| 23:26 | great examples . Everybody . Okay , let's go to | |
| 23:29 | Oh , that's it . That's it for this one | |
| 23:32 | . Okay , we'll take a quick break and then | |
| 23:34 | we'll go to the last group of four . Last | |
| 23:36 | ones . I hope these are interesting and useful for | |
| 23:39 | you right now . Okay , um , quick break | |
| 23:43 | and then we'll continue to the last part of today's | |
| 23:46 | lesson . If you're just joining , please make sure | |

| 24:04 | If you're watching on facebook , what did I show | |
| 24:07 | you ? Here are some ? Oh , I showed | |
| 24:09 | you the cooking one already , fond of cooking one | |
| 24:11 | . Who this one's good time planning , planning your | |
| 24:14 | time . We talked about making study schedules last week | |
| 24:18 | . So this could be a good refresher if you | |
| 24:20 | joined last week's live lesson . All right , so | |
| 24:25 | let's go to the last part . I will show | |
| 24:28 | you uh , today's lesson boards again . You can | |
| 24:31 | take a picture , get ready , You can take | |
| 24:33 | a picture now . Uh , this will be the | |
| 24:37 | last group . Right here , we're going to talk | |
| 24:39 | about four more expressions you can use hopefully in your | |
| 24:44 | everyday life . Uh , let's continue . All right | |
| 24:48 | , so a few more idioms to use around the | |
| 24:52 | house . Oh CIA says , can we use the | |
| 24:54 | last expression in whatever tense to burn the candle ? | |
| 24:58 | Yes , like he burned the candle at both ends | |
| 25:01 | . Yeah , you could say that in past tense | |
| 25:03 | . We tend to use it in progressive a lot | |
| 25:06 | . Like he is burning the candle at both ends | |
| 25:09 | like right now . Okay , onwards , let's go | |
| 25:13 | next expression up for grabs up for grabs . This | |
| 25:18 | is a really fun one . I like this one | |
| 25:19 | , something that is up for grabs , so we | |
| 25:22 | do not use this really to talk about people . | |
| 25:25 | I don't know , maybe if you're really like a | |
| 25:27 | really aggressive data , I don't know , but usually | |
| 25:31 | we use this for objects for objects and for opportunities | |
| 25:35 | , something is up for grabs means something that is | |
| 25:40 | available for anyone to take . So grab this word | |
| 25:45 | , grab is a verb to grab something means to | |
| 25:48 | quickly take something up for grabs . So grabs . | |
| 25:53 | I know that sounds weird , grab is a verb | |
| 25:55 | , right ? But this is a set expression up | |
| 25:58 | for grabs means it's available to take available for anyone | |
| 26:02 | to take . So you might say about maybe some | |
| 26:06 | food you made like , oh yeah , I made | |
| 26:08 | a bunch of food and I brought it to the | |
| 26:11 | party . It's all up for grabs means anyone can | |
| 26:14 | take it , it's all up for grabs . Or | |
| 26:17 | for an opportunity like oh did you hear she's leaving | |
| 26:21 | her job ? That means it's up for grabs . | |
| 26:24 | So that means anyone can take it . Yeah , | |
| 26:27 | this is a really fun expression . I like this | |
| 26:29 | one . It's up for grabs . Okay , alright | |
| 26:34 | , carrying on this next one . This one kind | |
| 26:38 | of similar to burning the candle at both ends to | |
| 26:43 | have irons in the fire , to have irons in | |
| 26:47 | the fire . This is a comment again , a | |
| 26:50 | common expression with an interesting image . So iron iron | |
| 26:56 | means like metal . So imagine imagine you're making a | |
| 27:00 | sword . Yeah , imagine you're making a sword in | |
| 27:04 | order to make a sword . We use metal , | |
| 27:06 | we put it in fire to prepare it . Yeah | |
| 27:10 | , we have to prepare it to make it for | |
| 27:13 | the making process , We are getting it hot in | |
| 27:16 | order to make something . So this expression to have | |
| 27:20 | irons in the fire , I might say I have | |
| 27:23 | irons in the fire means to be working on something | |
| 27:28 | or making progress on something to be working on something | |
| 27:33 | or making progress on something . So it's like you | |
| 27:37 | are in the preparing stage for something , you're getting | |
| 27:41 | something ready to do something . Like making a sword | |
| 27:44 | in this case to have irons in the fire , | |
| 27:47 | or I have lots of irons in the fire means | |
| 27:50 | I am preparing many different projects . So you might | |
| 27:54 | hear someone say I have lots of irons in the | |
| 27:57 | fire right now , which means I'm working on many | |
| 28:00 | things or I'm preparing about many , that's why . | |
| 28:04 | Okay , good . Uh two were says we've got | |
| 28:10 | a bunch of drinks up for grabs in the fridge | |
| 28:13 | . Good . Nice . Yeah , up for grabs | |
| 28:15 | . Good , good , good . Okay , sounds | |
| 28:17 | nice . Uh Someone said , oh Javier says there | |
| 28:21 | are some flowers up for grabs on the way that | |
| 28:23 | could work . Just make sure when you use up | |
| 28:26 | for grabs . It means like it's okay to take | |
| 28:31 | that thing like this . This is not about like | |
| 28:33 | stealing stealing things , just make sure to use it | |
| 28:37 | when it's clear , like it's okay to take that | |
| 28:40 | thing , or it's ok to try to get something | |
| 28:43 | . Okay . All right , I have irons in | |
| 28:49 | the fire uh to my homework . Uh Good point | |
| 28:53 | . So irons in the fire , we don't use | |
| 28:56 | for everyday tasks actually to have irons in the fire | |
| 29:01 | is something we use for like upcoming projects or like | |
| 29:06 | an upcoming idea . So if you , for example | |
| 29:11 | , are thinking of starting , you're thinking of starting | |
| 29:14 | a business or you're thinking of starting new project and | |
| 29:18 | you just started preparing , You just started uh like | |
| 29:21 | sending emails or you just started building your team . | |
| 29:25 | That's a situation . We would say you have irons | |
| 29:29 | in the fire . So it's like behind the scenes | |
| 29:33 | , we don't use this for everyday tasks . Really | |
| 29:37 | ? Okay . All right , let's continue . Yeah | |
| 29:41 | , irons in the fire can be a little bit | |
| 29:43 | confusing . I would recommend like uh try a quick | |
| 29:47 | google search to see the kinds of situations that people | |
| 29:51 | use this in for a little bit more explanation . | |
| 29:55 | Okay . Mm Okay , let's continue to the next | |
| 30:00 | one . Under wraps . Under wraps . So something | |
| 30:03 | that is under wraps is secret . Something that is | |
| 30:06 | secret . So imagine this expression wraps maybe you know | |
| 30:10 | , wrapping paper like presence Yeah under something that is | |
| 30:14 | under wraps is under like you can imagine wrapping paper | |
| 30:19 | that means it's secret . So we use this for | |
| 30:23 | plans . Like the upcoming budget changes are under wraps | |
| 30:27 | for example or that project is under wraps . All | |
| 30:31 | of that is secret . So if you hear under | |
| 30:35 | wraps and don't forget this ? S when you use | |
| 30:37 | this , it means that something is secret . Something | |
| 30:41 | is secret . Okay . Oh Virginia has a great | |
| 30:44 | example on facebook . She says I have many irons | |
| 30:47 | in the fire . So I'll be burning a candle | |
| 30:50 | at both ends soon . I would say I'll be | |
| 30:52 | burning a candle at both ends very soon . Maybe | |
| 30:55 | in the future . Nice example of Virginia . Great | |
| 30:57 | work . Um Jose says does the up for grab | |
| 31:02 | expression also apply when you go somewhere and have candies | |
| 31:06 | available to be taken . Yes , that's fine . | |
| 31:08 | You can say , hey , all that candy is | |
| 31:09 | up for grab . You can , you can grab | |
| 31:12 | that stuff . So the key there is that it's | |
| 31:15 | clear there's a clear opportunity to take those things . | |
| 31:18 | That's the idea . All right , let's go to | |
| 31:23 | the last one . Oh my gosh ! Oh my | |
| 31:24 | gosh , I'm late . I have to go to | |
| 31:25 | the last one . So the last one , I | |
| 31:27 | chose this one for the last expression . Call it | |
| 31:30 | a day . Call it a day to call it | |
| 31:33 | a day means to decide the day is done to | |
| 31:36 | decide you're finished . Call it a day . Like | |
| 31:39 | today is finished here . We use this at the | |
| 31:42 | end of the day , like at work , maybe | |
| 31:44 | at school , you can use it at home too | |
| 31:47 | , after cleaning or after making dinner whatever you are | |
| 31:51 | finished for the day . You want to decide you're | |
| 31:54 | done . You say usually let's call it a day | |
| 31:58 | . You can use this in command form to call | |
| 32:01 | it a day . You had a long day today | |
| 32:04 | . So this means finished to be finished with the | |
| 32:06 | day . So we could say this , I guess | |
| 32:09 | . We wouldn't really say this for like the live | |
| 32:11 | lesson . We would say in this case call it | |
| 32:14 | good or call it done . Let's call it done | |
| 32:16 | . So let's say it's finished . We can use | |
| 32:20 | that if it's not the end of the day , | |
| 32:24 | you all right ? That was a lot . So | |
| 32:27 | I'll finish there for now . I'll show you one | |
| 32:29 | more time . Today's lesson board so that you can | |
| 32:31 | take a picture here you are . If you want | |
| 32:35 | to take a screenshot . This is our list of | |

| 32:58 | for your questions . I don't see other questions specific | |
| 33:02 | questions . Okay , so we'll finish there . So | |
| 33:04 | I won't say I'll call it a day because today | |
| 33:08 | is depending on where you are , there's different time | |
| 33:11 | zones , Right ? So I'll say I'll call it | |
| 33:13 | good , we'll call it good there . So that | |
