Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 82. The verb phrase today is
to drag something up. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone drags
something up he or she mentions or starts talking about something
unpleasant from the past. Okay. So let's look at the first example here. Do we
have to drag that up again ? How many times did I say I was sorry about
revealing your secret ? So again if somebody drags something up
you know. sometimes maybe it's a couple, oh maybe they're fighting and then they
remind them about something one of them did many, many years ago, and maybe
they've done this a number of times already.
Very often they will drag something up probably a little more often in probably
a wife dragging up something a husband did. But it could go really either way or
sometimes it could be a mother or a parent dragging up something that some
child did when they were young and they just don't really want to hear it again.
When they heard it so many times before. You're dragging it up again ?
You're bringing it up again ? And they're tired of it. They heard it so many times.
It's like how many times do I have to relive this same story that you're
talking about again that is so unpleasant? All right. So let's look at
number two here. Every time we get in an argument, she drags up a story about
something I did that upset her 30 years ago. So again, that's the idea where you
feel like it's never going to end. Eventually in the future, they're going
drag it up some other time when you're arguing about a new thing. Okay. Anyway, I
hope you got it . I hope was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
