    I used the phrase "long story short" many times because in my mother language I used a similar phrase, and now I try to use "Don't get me wrong" which sound really useful in a common conversation. Thank you for this video!!

    Here's a fun English game for you Dreamers.
    Place the word "only" before or after any word in this sentence:
    *She told him that she loved him.*
    (observe how the meaning changes with each different placement of "only")

    • @EatSleepDreamEnglish

    I've just learned another phrase that I really like and I want to share with all of you Dreamers: "to give it a shot". It means: to make an attempt or effort to do something. I don't know though if it's only used in American english or even in British english 🤔. Instead my favorite phrases taught by you Tom are: "How come", "to be honest", "Don't get me wrong", but right now I can't "build" any sentence (I'm at work in my office under pressure 😬). Thanks Tom 😃!

    • @gwillis01
      @gwillis01 5 лет назад +1

      How's this for an example sentence "I do not know if I will be successful at scuba diving, but I will give it a shot." I don't know if I will finish revising and editing this ninety page report by noon tomorrow, but I will give it a shot."

    I've heard these expressions since I moved to London, and most of the time I had to get them by myself, according to the context. I can remember the first time someone asked me "how comes?" When I said I love to live in Paddington. I just sttoped, thought a lit bit and realized he was asking me "why?". It was the only question that could make sense that time. And I answered why I liked to live there , but I was still afraid to be wrong...lololol After that, I googled it and I confirmed I was right. I never forgot that expression and I've tried to use it as much as possible in conversations. Today, I see in this video some expressions I had faced and learnt by myself. Thank you! ♥️

  • @wilfredlaboren864
    @wilfredlaboren864 4 года назад +1

    Hello. One phrase that you talked about ... “IF I WERE YOU...” gives me goosebumps! I am a non native to English. I learned the language in my later years and I have been living in England for the last 16 years, in Nottingham. Back in the day, I learned that the subjunctive of the verb to be for the first person is... “if I were” and the past tense for the second person is ‘You were’. As you said. (Big sigh of relief here!). Then, such peculiarities got emblazoned in my mind. LONG STORY SHORT, nobody says that! DON’T GET ME WRONG, I love my colleagues at work but the word ‘were’ is nowhere to be heard in their speech. They constantly and consistently say ‘you was’ and ‘If I was you’. HOW COME? I’M NOT BEING FUNNY BUT they are wrong, aren’t they? THE THING THAT really annoys me the most is because I have a foreign accent and a tan, I am always looked down. TO BE HONEST, it hurts!
    BY THE WAY, I love your videos and I am learning lots. May I suggest a topic: The English traps! Or the most common grammar mistakes that native speakers do and how not to fall into them. I hope you appreciate how I used the phrases you talked about in this video. (Wink)

  • @alexeyveseliev106
    @alexeyveseliev106 6 лет назад +1

    It is not easy to choose one the best phrase because all of them are useful. But finally I can make a chart. So most useful and new (for me) at the same time are: 1) Long story short. 2) The thing that. 3) Long time no see. By the way if I heard last phrase without preparation, as a non-native speaker I could think that a person wants to not see me a long time, he or she is not happy to see me :)

    Anyway, that's not a big deal.
    Thank You, following you as from this day!

  • @v.gopalakrishnan350
    @v.gopalakrishnan350 2 года назад

    Don't get me wrong, I love your channel, but the old English Grammarians taught me that intransitive verbs like sleep, dream... usually take an adverbial modifier but not an object except when they're used in the causative sense as in: "sleep the baby! " Meaning "cause/make the baby sleep! "
    Also they take a cognate object as in: "sleep a sound sleep!"
    Here is an Englishman Tom saying, "sleep/dream English!"
    I take it that you mean "Think of English even in your sleep/dream! "
    Is that it?
    Aha! See how I've used the phrase " don't get me wrong in this comment!
    I love your informative channel!
    Thanks for your posts!

    One thing I have noticed is that Brits seem to have a 'thing' for speech impediments, and complicated (funny) names. Be wary of speakers who say "To be honest...", is used all to frequently by Liars! By the Way, All these phrases are used by American English speakers, too.

    Here in the U.S. we more often say "long time no see" in the opposite way. For example, you see your friend in the morning and you both end up at the same place later in the day you would say, "Hey! Long time no see!" Kind of like sarcasm but in a light hearted friendly way.

    Quick comment on a difference between British and American English: In your example for 'Long story short', at the end when you say '...we ended up in hospital', in American English, we'd say '...we ended up in the hospital' or '...we ended up at the hospital'. Hospital is preceded by the word 'the' in American English when 'hospital' is the subject location.

    I believe the origin of "long time no see" is from Cantonese speaking people. It's a word for word translation from the same phrase in Cantonese, which is literally "long time", followed by "no", and then "see".

    • @Fool3SufferingFools
      @Fool3SufferingFools Год назад

      Supposedly “long time no see” is a remnant of what was called CPE or “Chinese Pidgin English,” which was a standard lingo for trade between Britain and China at one time, a highly simplified English. So the Cantonese origin sounds very probable. Another common phrase left over from CPE is “to have a look-see.”
