Hi this is Tutor Nick P  and this is Prepositional Phrase nine. The  prepositional

過去形

phrase today is "on fire. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note. We actually got four

meanings of on fire here used this way and give examples for all of them. So

again,  let's look at the first one. Being burned by a fire or aflame. So that's

the first use. If we say something is on fire you could literally meaning that

you is on fire. That it is actually burning. So here's the first example. It

was on fire. It was burning for a while.  I'm not sure how long it started , but it

took some time to put it out. Meaning to put out the fire. Wherever this was.

Maybe a car or can or who knows whatever it was that was on fire. All right. Let's look at

number two. Achieving exceptional results recently. So recently you were on fire.

You were performing much better than you usually do. So let's look at the first

one. That team is on fire.  They have a 12-game winning streak. So

they won 12 games in a row. Wow ! They're  hot. They're on fire. Okay. Well let's

look at number three here. Having an intense burning feeling or you know

sensation.  I've got a serious case of wind burn on my feet from wearing wet

sneakers in cold weather. It felt like my feet were on fire. Yeah. So maybe if you

got the wind burn and especially on your feet you're trying to walk and it's ouch, ouch, ouch.

Something like that. Because they felt like they were on fire. Okay. Good

Very attractive or sexy. Look at that sexy dress she showed up in. All eyes

are on her. She is on fire. We could mean it that way too.

All right. Let's look at the last note here. The phrase on fire probably came

from the use of hot .  Remember "hot "as a word has many,

many meanings. But the meanings here would probably mean ... well  hot often means.

popular. So that's how it one way that we could use it or doing extremely well.

So yeah again like just like you with the 12-game winning streak,  we could say

somebody's on a hot streak.  They're performing better. So the team

could be on a hot streak winning many games in a row or maybe a hitter have

got a you know , a hit streak maybe hit so many ... he got a base hit in so many games

in a row. He is very hot. So if you want to emphasize that more. And make it sound

like even you know,  on fire. He's so hot he's on fire. So that's kind of where the

idea came from. So thus on fire was used to emphasize this idea. Okay

Anyway,  I hope you got it. I hope it was clear.  Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
