My name is Alicia, and in this episode, we're going to talk about the verb kill.

The basic definition of this verb is to end the life of someone or something.

Okay, let's look at the congregations for this for present.

Tense kill kills past tense, killed past participle.

All right, so now let's talk about some additional meanings for this verb.

The 1st 1 is to put an end to something, to put an end to something, to cause something to finish.

Our poor sales killed our chance of success.

All right, so in both of these examples, we see something coming to an end.

Something finishes because of something else.

So in the first example, sentence poor sales killed our chances of success, meaning the poor sales resulted in or caused an end to our chances of success.

So that means there was no more chance of success because of poor sales.

The poor sales killed it in the second example sentence the CEO is decision killed our project there.

The CEO made a decision that caused the project to end That caused the project to stop.

The second additional meeting for the verb is to cause pain to cause pain examples.

My head is killing me, he says his back has been killing him for two weeks.

So in these sentences, we see kill in the progressive tense.

It doesn't actually mean that person's life is going to end.

The pain is extremely bad and it feels like they're dying.

Like I said, we tend to use this in the progressive tense.

Um, we don't really say my head killed me.

But rather, my head is killing me because it's like a temporary situation.

Remember, we use the continuous or the progressive tense for temporary situations and pain in most cases is temporary.

The next meeting is to become very angry, to become very angry with someone.

Oh, man, my boss is gonna kill me for this mistake.

Your mom is gonna kill you from making such a mess.

This expression doesn't really mean that someone's life is going to end.

Instead, this use of kill me, it means that someone is going to become very, very angry.

So in the first example sentence Oh, man, my boss is gonna kill me for this mistake.

And my boss is going to be very, very angry with me because of my mistake.

So it doesn't mean the boss is going to end this person's life.

Just the boss is going to be very angry in the second example Sentence, Uh, your mom is gonna kill you for making such a mess again.

It means the mother is going to be very, very angry at the other person in the conversation.

The mother is going to be so mad because of the mess.

But we used the expression Your mother is gonna kill you.

So quite extreme level of anger and casual casual expressions on Lee.

Oh, also, we show the reason for this anger with four to.

So my boss is gonna kill me for making a mistake.

My mother's gonna kill me for making a mess.

The fourth meaning here is to consume something completely.

We killed three bottles of wine at dinner.

This is a very, very casual expression that suggests kind of a surprising amount.

And like I said, it's usually used for drinks like you consumed more drinks than you expected.

We killed three bottles of wine dinner last night, two of us.

But to say killed something means you completely finished.

So to kill a drink means to finish it completely.

Okay, let's take a look at some variations for the verb kill.

This means waste time to waste time examples.

I've got about 15 minutes to kill before my next meeting.

We're just killing time until the movie starts.

I have no plan for these 15 minutes, so I'm going to kill them.

Second example sentences the same thing until the movie were just killing time.

The second variation is the expression to kill it to kill it.

This is a very positive and casual expression, which means to do something with a high level of skill, like sports or entertainment or your job to kill it.
