  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 160. The verb phrase today is to

  • knock out. We actually have 8 pretty common uses for knock out today and we

  • give examples for all of them. So let's look at the first one. The first meaning

  • is to exhaust or to tire out and when we use this one usually we will use a noun

  • or pronoun. You know, with it. So here's the first example that we're using. That

  • long hike really knocked the kids out. So it really tired them out. So maybe when

  • they came home that night, they slept very easily. Because this long hike

  • knocked them out. Or we have a second example for this one. One side effect of

  • this medicine is that it really knocks me out. If you have ever taken any medicine

  • and you get really tired as a side effect from the medicine, you could say

  • the medicine knocked you out. It's one side effect of the medicine. All right.

  • Here's the second one. To tell someone to go ahead or feel free to do something.

  • All right now here we only got one example, but we have a/b part. So A

  • says, Do you mind if I have a piece of cake ? And B says knock yourself out.

  • Have as much as you like. Enjoy yourself. So we often tell somebody to knock

  • yourself out doing something. So especially if somebody asks your

  • permission to do it. And you say "Yeah, feel free like be at home. Knock yourself

  • out. Have as much fun as you want. " Maybe someone will say can I play that video game ? Sure

  • knock yourself out. Have fun. Okay. Let's look at number 3 here. To make someone

  • unconscious. Okay. So the first example we have here is the champion boxer knocked

  • knocked out. Get hit and become unconscious. All right. The second one here

  • is I prefer they knock me out for the operation I don't want to be awake

  • through it. So in this case, you know, they're giving somebody a shot to make

  • Okay. Good number four here. Basically means to

  • cause to stop working or operating. All right and the first example we have

  • for this one is, that storm knocked out the electricity. So it made the electricity

  • like that. And the second example we have for this
