Well, hello, and welcome to this month’s Phrase Builder lesson.

to 不定詞

It is a pleasure to welcome you back if you’ve been with us for a while, and hello if you’re

We have, uh, an actually really interesting lesson set this month.

We’re going to talk about a wide range of things that have to do with a little bit of

travelling, exploration, doing some other things that are, you know, kind of normal

in everyday life, but also checking out cultures and exploring, as I said.

Uh, so it should be a really interesting mix of words, but you’ll see how they all work

So, as usual, in this lesson, we’ll be covering the shorter words first, and then we’ll

talk about the longer phrases and expressions after that.

Now, remember this is different from inspiring.

To inspire someone means to help motivate them, like I’m trying to inspire you to

improve your English, so get out and start practicing.

But to be aspiring, to do something or to aspire to do something means that you have

a particular goal or you have a particular aim.

So, in your case with English, you are an aspiring English learner.

You’re an aspiring English learner, or you are aspiring to learn English.

So, you’re aspiring to get fluent, aspiring to learn English, uh, aspiring to become,

you know, whatever else your goals are in your life.

And you’ll see this in the conversation when Henry is talking about being an aspiring

So, usually when people talk about this, uh, the two big ones that you’ll hear in conversations

are aspiring musician and aspiring actor.

So, people that are saying, well, I’m working as a waiter in a restaurant, but really I’m

So, really I want to do this and that’s my real goal, but I have to do this other

So, whenever you’re aspiring to do something, that’s your goal.

To have a max of something or a maximum limit, this is the short form of maximum, uh, it

just means that you’re having a, uh, higher limit or the greatest amount of something

So, as an example, maybe I have a max of about three hours to practice playing the guitar

So, I can practice for three hours max, and then I have to go do my work, or whatever

So, to have something max, this is a great way conversationally to say that you only

have a certain amount of time, or a certain amount of effort, or something like that.

So, this power, maybe I have, uh, a light bulb here.

Uh, it can shine for 20 hours max, so 20 hours maximum.

And this is just how you would use it in a conversational expression.

So, I can do something, uh, maybe I can, I can walk for ten hours max, but then I, I

And you can end a sentence like that as well.

So, I’ve been practicing for English, uh, speaking English for a long time, but I can

only speak in a conversation for five minutes max, something like that.

Anyway, I highly recommend you use this, uh, and again, listen for it in the conversation

Now, when you’re finished with something, these are very related, so listen carefully.

When I’m finished with something it just means I’ve stopped doing that thing.

I don’t have any emotional content or any emotional feeling in any way about that thing.

So, if I’m eating my dinner and I stop, I’m finished with dinner.

If I’m doing my homework and I stop, I’m finished with my homework, but I’m not thinking

So, I’m just finished with my homework.

I’m finished with this video if I’ve stopped making this video, that kind of thing.

But, to be over with something, this is a related thing but slightly different.

This is where we have emotion in that, and it’s usually where we’re really tired

about something, or we’re not very happy with that thing.

So, I’m, I’m over with that situation.

So, I can be over a situation or over with a situation, it just means that I don’t

Like, oh, like my ex-girlfriend, yeah, I’m, I’m over that.

So, it just means I’ve, I’ve stopped that, and I also have, you know, kind of an emotional

or even maybe a very strong emotional feeling about that where I’m not excited about my

girlfriend, or I’m even upset with her.

So, I’m, I’m, I’m done with that relationship, I’m over with her, or I’m over her.

I’ve forgotten about her, I’m past that.

You can also talk about being over something, like maybe a new fashion trend.

So, maybe like these t-shirts are very fashionable right now, but maybe next year people are

They don’t use them anymore, they don’t like wearing them, that kind of thing.

So, when you’re over with something it’s something that you pass and you’re leaving

it behind, you’re not going to use that thing anymore, and usually there’s some

kind of emotional connection, some kind of, uh, deeper feeling with that thing.
