Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Prepositional Phrase one. The prepositional
-
phrase today is for good. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. If someone does
-
something for good or something happens for good, it is permanent or forever. So
-
usually that's the end. It doesn't come back. It doesn't return. It's for good. All
-
right. For good can also mean that something is done for the benefit of
-
others or for the benefit of mankind or something like that.
-
Okay. So let's look at several examples here. Example number one. I think Bill and
-
Jane broke up for good this time. Their quarrel was too serious. I don't
-
think they will ever get back together again. Yeah. That's what we might say
-
somebody separated for good or broke up for good. Even though it's not really
-
good because it's probably divorce or or a breakup. But , but that's the way we use
-
it to mean permanently. Number 2 here. After he got a wake-up call from the
-
doctor, he decided to give up smoking for good. Yeah. Maybe the doctor gave him very
-
strong stern warnings. Like if you don't smoke ... if you don't stop smoking you know,
-
you're going to get lung cancer or something like that. Or you know you only
-
have so many years left. Anyway he got a wake-up call. So he decided to give up
-
smoking for good, for real this time. Never go back to it. All right. Number 3
-
here. He gave up being a lawyer for good after he realized that he , he helped to
-
free a pedophile that went back to commit crimes. Yes. Sometimes maybe
-
somewhere some lawyers feel guilty about something. Even though he was doing his job, he
-
didn't like the results. So maybe there was something that made him stop being a
-
lawyer. Okay. Good and four or five this is more like you know, for the good of
-
others. So let's look at number four. He decided to use some of his wealth for
-
good and donated to several charities. So you know, for the good of people or
-
for the good of others. And number five. He wants to use his fame for good and he
-
came out to support several causes or at least several causes he believed in. So
-
he's doing it for good, for the good of others or for the good of mankind. Okay,
-
Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
