Here's the first meaning. If something sets someone back, it costs them a particular amount of money, especially a lot of money. Yeah. Nobody ever says oh that's going to set me back a dollar. Or that's going to set me back 50 cents. It would usually be a significant amount of money and we're more likely to use it with that. Okay. And let's look at number two. To set someone or something back can also mean to slow down the progress of something, hinder it, or delay it. Yeah. So something will slow you down, it makes it more difficult to reach your goal. All right. So let's take a look at several examples we have here. Example number one. A new engine will set you back about $1,000. Yes. So again, you're saying a particular amount of money. Like I said it's not too cheap. That's what we use it for. So that's exactly the way we would use it. Number two. Very often somebody will ask it any question. How much is that going to set me back ? You know how much this is going to cost me ? So again especially when you're a little worried about how much it's going to cost you. You might say it this way.. How much is it going to set me back ? You know, it's going to move you back. Going to move back your savings. The amount of money you have. Yes. Okay. Let's look at number three. The damage caused by the hurricane is going to set our project back at least several weeks. All right. This is a one where we're focusing more on delay. Something will delay it. When we're not focusing on the money so much. Even though, it probably cost you some money too here. But probably the delay is more important. So it's going to set you back in time. and the same with the last one. Let's look at the last one. The injury to the star.... like the star of a movie , of the film set the filming back several weeks. Or several months until she recovered. Well whatever her injury was, it may take her several months to fully recover for she could be filming again. So it's going to set that film back several months. It's going to delay that film several months before it's finished. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.
