Merry Christmas to you all!

Hey there,

Welcome back to your home “Your…”

Wait?

Wait?

I thought let’s break this habit today because it’s Christmas.

A very merry Christmas to you all.

I actually had to post the collocation article today but I shifted that to next Monday because I thought better to give it a break for a while and break this usual habit of posting the collocation article on Mondays. Hope you all are enjoying your day and so am I. So I didn’t wanna disturb you all but the regular blog posts because it comes only once a year, enjoy your day.

Before you just leave, lemme tell you about the recent moderation which our site has gone through.

Recently we had a small survey (I don’t know if you saw it because it was for three hours) live right here at our site. It had about 100 entries from people all around and basically it was for what could make our blog even better for each one of you.

After consideration of all submissions I personally saw each one of them and observed that most people were happy with the content and improving quite well but they complained that they are not able to practice.

Though I suggested some of the techniques which work quite well if you wanna permanent these idioms and phrases in your memory in the article: “How to learn English idioms and phrasal verbs?”, yet some people find that hard to do technique.

Since I don’t want even a single learner who doesn’t practice, I came up with the idea of a quiz after each blog (of course, wherever it is possible) and it will be there from the upcoming blog posts.

This is my Christmas present to you all. I hope you will love it.

Moreover if you would like to see how it would be, it is at last of this post Click here!.

Lemme know how it was.

Have fun, enjoy your day.

Merry Christmas once again.

Bye bye.

Context

Mrs. Watson (The class teacher) told a week ago that the school will be organizing a competition for acting and sports where there are going to be some big-shot personalities to judge and find out the real talent in us. I don’t know why, but when it comes to act and play, it is in my element.

For Joe (my close friend) it was definitely not an easy decision. He got nervous wreck (Click here!) fearing he might choke at the stage while performing. I encouraged him for a while, the next moment he was all ready, pumped up (Click here!) to take part in this competition.

Though I gave him much of the motivation so he takes part in the competition, but I really wanted that it should be his decision finally to perform at stage, so I asked him to sleep on it and then decide what he really wants to do.

I had to get to school earlier but since I slept in (Click here!), I got ready in few minutes, grabbed a bite to eat and reached the place.

The competition started and all performed as if they have been doing this for ages. Soon after the competition the results were announced which took us by surprise(surprised) when we heard that Joe won the competition. Though I did not win it, I was on cloud nine (Click here!) , maybe because one of my close friends has won it.

Idioms

Big-shot

Meaning

An important or famous person.

Example

People making it to this award function are all big-shots.

To be in one’s element

Meaning

It is used when you are completely comfortable doing something that comes very naturally.

We need to clear things out…

Phrasal verbs or idioms?

Hey there,

Welcome back to your home ‘Your English Vocabulary’- The place for every English learner who has struggled a lot in their English skills and want to improve their spoken English and vocabulary.

Context

Don’t get me wrong I know Friday is supposed to be an idiom post but, since I noticed some of people asking me about Wednesday’s post, I think it’s about time to clear things out. You might wanna ask?

What was wrong with Wednesday’s post?

Well, there was nothing wrong with it, but that post was to be published today since it was an idiom post. I could not back it up since the notification email was sent to many of the subscribers and deleting the post and posting a new one definitely not seemed the right choice to me. So I came up with this idea that I would rather write a post covering not just phrasal verbs or idioms, but both.

I am sure you will love it as it has both so keep backing up and learning.

Meanings

• About time – nearly time, high time.

• Clear things out – to explain or solve the misunderstanding or confusion.

• Back it up – reverse.

• Came up with – to suggest or think of an idea or plan.

• Back up – support.

Examples

• I think it’s about time I bought a new laptop.

• Ron needs to clear things out with his wife before his married life leads to divorce.

• You just can’t back things up when they reach to the extremities.

•Dwayne came up with this idea of holding a conference every Saturday for our company’s growth.

• My mother always backs me up with my dreams and ambitions.
