Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Adverb Phrase 13. Yeah. The Adverb  Phrase today

is by design. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say that something

happened by design or happened or occurred by design,  it was done on purpose.

Somebody had a special intention to make this thing happen. So somebody had the

intention of making a particular thing happen. It was done by design. Somebody

designed it. Somebody,  somebody was behind making this occurrence come about. Okay.

So let's take a look at several examples here. Example number one. This did not

happen by accident or coincidence,  but rather by design.  Someone is behind this.

Yeah. So that's how we often use it. So we will use it in situations where like

some people might think well this was just happened by coincidence. This was by

accident. You didn't think anybody was really behind planning it but maybe

somebody else might say this somebody might be suspicious. Something seems

wrong with this. This doesn't seem right.  I don't think this happened naturally.

This seems like it was done by design. So maybe somebody secretly you know,

planning something that made it happen.  So that's the way we often use by design.

All right. Number two. Some conspiracy theorists  think that some storms were

not an act of nature , but instead formed by design. Yeah. You know,  in the past you

might have seen this.  I know that if you've ever heard of HAARP,  sometimes you

might think governments might be able to influence some weather or control some

weather. Have you ever heard of the term of like a weather warfare or anything

like that. Then maybe that they have the power to intensify some storms. So maybe

somebody might be suspicious of a particular storm for a certain reason

and they might think that it wasn't really as natural as it was made to seem.

So they might think that,  that you know,  this was done by design. Maybe this

wasn't just nature. That/s's another way that you could hear

it used . Number three. Her success was more accidental and not by design.  This

is a different way that we could use it.  Meaning that you know maybe it's true.

Once in a while somebody becomes famous by accident. They weren't planning on it.

They didn't have the intention to do it but somehow they got thrown into the

spotlight and they became famous. So in that case , it really was not by design. So

this ...  Okay. So it was you know just pure luck or by accident. Sometimes we

could say it that way too.  All right number four. These protests are not

grassroots. Remember grassroots means you know, like when you feel that the,  the

people naturally formed them themselves.  You know,  they had some bad feelings and

they gathered and they,  they used all their resources and they did it on their

own. So they're saying these protests are not grassroots or natural,  but was formed

and funded by design. So they  ... somebody again somebody is behind it. Somebody's

paying for it. To make it happen. Someone with another agenda. Even though they,

they seem to be protesting this. But there might even be another reason

behind these protests. Was behind organizing them and supplying money and

transportation for them. So there may even be supplying buses to bring the

protesters in. There are cases where they found it proven that some protesters are

actually being paid . There  have been advertisements on Craigslist that they

would pay people to protest. So in this case,  it's not really natural. It's not

grassroots. It's , it's happening by design.  Somebody is behind it. That's what they

mean by design. Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope you got a better understanding of

the adverb phrase. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
