Hello, Dora.

Uh, Victor, Marcello.

Hi.

Everybody greets.

Thanks very much for coming and then on Facebook.

We are loading Facebook right now.

I see Abdullah right now.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm great.

How are you?

Okay.

Uh, so, as I said, today's topic is 15 of the most common English idioms for a little bit of background about this, I chose these from a study.

I believe I can't remember the university off the top of my head.

I want to say Homa, there's there is a study I was reading about theme oats, the highest frequency, which means the most often used idioms in American English.

So again, as always, for me, this is American English.

Thes are very common idiomatic expressions, which means they kind of have a meaning that might not be immediately understandable.

So that means these words don't necessarily.

They don't always have exactly the meaning, like the basic meaning of the words.

So we're going to talk about 15 very common ones.

I hope that everybody can find something of use for them.

So we are four minutes in.

It is time to get started.

I'm going to share the video and then I'm going to begin.

I have made five or rather, three groups of five, uh, idioms each.

So let's take a look one by one.

All right, cool.

I have shared the video.

I'm ready to go.

Let's get started with this 1st 1 up here to make sure is our first idiomatic expression.

I'm going to slow down my radio speech now, too, so to make sure to make sure means to do something, so there are no doubts about a situation to do something, so there are no doubts.

So doubts means like there's no worries you have about his situation.

There are no questions that you have about a situation.

You don't think something might be wrong or there might be a problem.

To make sure of something is a common way to use this in an example sentence.

I want to make sure you understand this idiom, so I want, I think said, I want to make sure make sure you'll often hear like a presenters and like politicians use this word in speeches.

We need to make sure something, something, something.

So I want to make sure you understand this idiom, for example, I want to make sure you understand.

So again, make sure means I want Thio do something, so there are no doubt.

So I want to in this case, teach or explain so that there are no questions, no doubts about something.

So this is make sure.

Make sure a nice one to lead off with from today, and I'll try to check your questions live throughout the chat.

If you want to make example sentences with these two, please, please, please feel free.

I will.

Again, I will try to catch as many as again.

Let's go on then to the 2nd 1 for today.

Deal with Deal with, you'll notice.

Maybe it's really hard to see.

I'm going to read what's on the board here.

There are several, so several means many multiple.

There are many different ways to use deal with their many different senses of this idiomatic expression.

So let's take a look and I'll share a couple example sentences about this first to deal with something to deal with something means to do something about a problem.

To do something about a problem or about a challenge, like I don't want to deal with this right now, or can you please deal with this later?

So that means to do something usually too fix a problem.

So to deal with has this meaning seconds.

It can mean to make business agreements to make business agreements.

You'll know that it's sense number two cents or meaning number two when there's usually like another person or another company or another organization after this verb.

So, for example, I don't want to deal with that company anymore.

I don't want to deal with that company.

It means I don't want to make business agreements, or I don't want to do business with that company anymore.

So it can have this.

One.

Third is to be about a topic to be about a topic.

So I'm going to write an example sentence about number three here, for example.

So again, number three cents Number three, her presentation for presentation.

This is past tense.

Then her presentation dealt with the economy, so her presentation dealt with means her presentation was about the economy her presentation was about the economy, so deal with in past tense becomes dealt dealt so D E A L T.

Is the past tense form of deal dealt her presentation dealt with is the same as her presentation was a boat.

The economy, it's just sounds like a little bit more of, Ah, guess a closer we're it.

So maybe if you want to talk about someone that you're close to or if you just want to have a more casual discussion about a topic you might choose to use deal with instead of was about so her presentation dealt with the economy.

Another, since the last one here is to try to accept something challenging, to try to accept something challenging, usually something that is emotionally challenging.

So something that is difficult or something that makes you sad or angry or upset to accept that situation we use deal with in cases like these two, for example.

All right, one more.

I don't want to.

I don't want to deal with this.

I don't want to deal with this so I don't want to deal with this is like maybe you have a really hard situation at home or like a school or at work, And you don't want to accept the situation or you don't want to try to accept the situation.

So deal with it.

Sounds like it's, um, again, a little bit more casual.

So less a less formal word.

But it means to accept.

Okay, some examples.

Air coming in.

Henry says deal with it.

Yes, which means handle it.

Take care of it.

Good.

Um, I saw a different 10 Andrew said I used to deal with that company.

So when you use that used to pattern your used to grammar, you don't need to change the verb to past tense.

I used to infinitive for I used to deal with that company is correct.

Okey dokey.

Uh, Gertrudis says I can deal with your bad mood.

Good.

Nice.

Nice.

Nice on Facebook.

Everyone is saying hello.

I don't see I don't want to deal with this.

Something the past.

I don't want to deal with this.

Close one, boy.

Okay, let's go to the next one.

The next one is at all at all.

Oh, I spoke about this a couple weeks ago.

I think at all means in any way in anyway.

So an example of this is this is true.

I can't speak.

I can't speak Vietnamese.

Act all, can't speak Vietnamese at all.

So we use at all as an emphasis, usually at the end of something.

So in this case, I can't speak Vietnamese is a simple fact.

Yeah, I can't.

In my case, I can't speak Vietnamese.

I can't speak Vietnamese at all.

That means totally not possible 100% in any way.

So you often see it used with negative situations, like negative expressions.

I can't do this or I don't know that I don't know anything at all.

I can't do this thing at all.

That means that's totally not possible.

So at all eyes commonly used at the end of sentences in this way okay, on to the next one is Go ahead.

Go ahead.

There are two senses for go ahead.

First means continue to continue something like, Oh, go ahead.

It's fine.

Go ahead with your presentation.

You'll hear their proposition with following it in that case.

So this one go ahead with your presentation.

So in this case, incense one you'll see with after Go ahead.

So go ahead with something.

We usually use this again because it means continue when someone, for example, like this Lifestream.

I'm like teaching about this expression.

There's an interruption.

Someone says no.

Go ahead, Go ahead with your lesson.

So something was happening before.

Maybe there was an interruption or a question.

And then we want to ask the person to continue.

We can use.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Sounds less formal than continue.

So please go ahead with your presentation.

It means the same thing as please continue with your presentation, though with continue you don't have to use with.

Please continue.

Your presentation is also okay.

So go ahead with your presentation.

Don't forget it if you're gonna use, go ahead.

Second sense, though, is to go before someone else.

So you can use this if you're waiting in line.

So imagine my two markers and imagined I two markers or two people.

So if this person is waiting But they're taking a long time Like at the supermarket, they might say to this person Oh, go ahead.

Which means to go before me.

Please go ahead.

So that's like, please, um, like, take my place, go before me so This is a physical sense.

Please go ahead of me.

Please go in front of me.

So this one is conceptual like please continue that thing.

You were doing all right.

Last one in this group is in other words, in other words, but in speech it sounds usually it usually sounds like in other words, in other words.

So in other words, we use this to mean another way.

To say that is another way to say that is so.

This one.

Maybe you can see how how it actually is quite a direct meaning of this expression.

In other words.

So to say what I said in another wave, in other words So for example, we're stuck in traffic.

In other words, we're going to be late.

We're going to be late.

So you phrase it in one way you say one expression, we're stuck in traffic, In other words, meaning another way to say that is we're going to be late.

So in other words, means another way to say that.

All right, some expressions air coming in from you.
