  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 357. The title of today's lesson

  • is the difference between "you must be dreaming' and 'daydream.' Yeah. Recently

  • I've noticed that a lot of students especially students of ESL sometimes use

  • he word daydream when they should be using a phrase like you must be dreaming.

  • So first let's ... so let's look at daydream and the way we usually use daydream. So

  • let's look at the note here. If someone is having a daydream, he or she is having

  • pleasant thoughts about something other than what he or she is supposed to be

  • paying attention to. So typically you know, a student in a class if the class is

  • boring, they might be daydreaming about something fun. They're going to do later or

  • that weekend or the vacation time or maybe even somebody at work. They're

  • supposed to be doing their work they're looking out the window their mind is

  • somewhere else maybe they're thinking about their boyfriend or their husband

  • or you know something they're going to do later on or that weekend or whatever.

  • That's usually what we mean by a daydream. So it is usually real things

  • that you're going do but it's usually pleasant things or fun things. That's

  • mostly what we mean when we say a daydream.

  • All right. Let's continue here. Now when we talk about you must be dreaming ... let's

  • look at the note here. Actually we have three common ways of expressing the same

  • idea. One can say you must be dreaming, dream on or in your dreams. Yeah. So even ...

  • I mean this is even good just to learn these phrases. So these regular idioms

  • All three phrases are used to tell someone that what he or she wishes for or

  • what they want, you do not believe has a likely chance to come true. Okay. Let's

  • continue. Some say, meaning some people say. These phrases derived from meaning

  • they originally came from . A number of songs in the 1950s and 1960s

  • used the word dream in their titles or choruses about hoping to get love from a

  • particular person. Yeah. There's a lot of songs like dream, dream, dream, dream you

  • know, there's a lot of songs like that talking about hoping or wishing to

  • to date some particular person. That may, may not even know them . mm-hmm. Okay. So

  • let's take a look at the first example how a student is likely to do this wrong.

  • So here with the X is wrong. So if a student says you must be making a

  • daydream. She would never date you. No. You don't use this in this sense. You

  • should say. You must be dreaming. Like you're crazy. You know she would never

  • date you. You know. Maybe you know, she would never choose you as her partner

  • You know maybe you're out of her league or something like that. All right. Now

  • let's look at number two here. You must be having a daydream. Again, your talent

  • is not good enough to compete. Okay. So again this would be wrong to be saying

  • you're having a daydream. Again we could use another way that we said it. You say,

  • in your dreams. So with all of these you can say in your dreams, you must be

  • dreaming or we could say dream on. Meaning like no way. That's not likely.

  • That's not going to happen. You know, forget it.

  • Yes. That's not going to become reality. Probably not. All right. And the third one

  • we have here. Again, a student might be saying you are having a daydream. The

  • boss is never going to give you that job. So again in this case we might say, dream

  • on. The boss is never going to give you that job. He you know, he doesn't even like you

  • that much. Or he you know there's many other better choices that he'll probably

  • give it to or more deserving employees. So dream on. It's not going to come true. You

  • don't think it's likely. All right. Anyway and of course we'll just give one

  • example where you know this is how the way we use daydream. We use daydream

  • both as a verb and a noun. So we might say here, Sally

  • often daydreams in that class because it is

  • boring. Or you know, she had a daydream or she was caught having a daydream. You know

  • something. I mean the teacher caught a student having you know , a daydream just

  • wandering looking at the sky. Or looking at the ceiling. So that's

  • the way we would use it. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank

  • you for your time. Bye-bye.
