Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 180. All right. Today the verb
-
phrase is" go ahead." And we actually got five meanings that we're going cover
-
today. So let's look at the first one. To continue with a task or continue with
-
a plan. Even if there's problems or difficulties. So even though there's
-
problems. You go ahead and do it. Finish it. All right. So let's look at the first
-
example we have for number one. Even though the weather forecast predicts
-
rain she decided to go ahead with the party. If it rains, we will move all the
-
activities inside. So maybe she was planning this for a few weeks. She
-
invited people. She was planning on having doing everything outside. But it
-
looks like it's going to rain. But she's ... let's just have it anyway we'll just
-
move everything inside. Just in case the rain really does come. Okay. Number two.
-
The boss said to go ahead with the project. Even if we end up going over our
-
original budget. Yes. So he's giving them the okay.
-
You could go ahead and do it. So again both of these there were some problems
-
and somebody said go ahead and do it. Go ahead and continue. All right. Number two
-
here. To bring or move ahead of someone or something. Now this one sounds a
-
little bit more physical. Okay. You could tell somebody go ahead and you do ... You know,
-
you move ahead. You move faster. You go ahead and do something, ahead of you. So
-
you go ahead and drop off your schoolbag at home. And I'll meet you at the corner
-
after I pick up a drink. And then maybe they're going to go somewhere else. But
-
maybe this is a mother or you know telling the kid you go home drop off the
-
bag then come down. I'll get a drink in the meantime. So you go ahead and do that.
-
Okay. Or you know, you could also say go ahead like you know, if somebody was in
-
the street you know, blocking you or you're blocking somebody, you could tell them
-
to like physically move ahead . Yeah I know I'm moving too slow you just go ahead. So
-
I'll get out of your way. So here we really mean like physically move ahead.
-
All right. Number three here. To tell someone to move ahead
-
or do something before you. It means like you're going to wait. You're going to allow
-
them to do it before you do it. All right. So you go ahead and take the elevator.
-
I'm still waiting for my wife. You know, but maybe it looked like you were
-
standing there first. Or the person's you know , not sure. You say, you just go ahead
-
and do it. I'm going to wait. You know, you do it before I do it. Yeah. Number four. To
-
tell someone to take action and do something and not wait for you. All right. This is
-
like a planned event that you were going to do together. Go ahead to the restaurant
-
first and order I'll probably arrive about 20 minutes later. Okay. So maybe the
-
person's coming from work or they get something else they got to do. You go
-
ahead and start it. So if this were you know, your wife or family or friends, they
-
go they go into the restaurant first and start ordering and start eating you'll
-
arrive later. Okay. Go ahead and start watching that rented
-
movie without me . I've seen it already. So this is along the same line. You're
-
telling somebody to take action first. Go ahead don't wait for me.
-
All right and number five here. To go into the lead. So this one's used a lot in
-
sports. The Yankees scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to go
-
ahead of the Red Sox by score of three to two. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I
-
hope you know, you might have already known a couple of these meanings of go
-
ahead. But hopefully there's some you didn't know and you learned today.
-
Anyway, thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
