Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks English lesson.
Today I am giving you 5 common English sayings.
These are quite short and simple sayings we use in informal situations.
We use them in everyday English with our friends and our family.
So the first one is check it out.
Check it out.
This means basically look at this or watch this.
So usually if you're showing somebody something you would say check it out.
For example if you are going to do a back flip you might say check it out I can do a
back flip and show your friend.
It's usually used for quite impressive stuff or maybe if somebody is showing off.
The next one is why not.
Why not.
This is used as a nice way to agree to do something usually.
Your friend might say do you want to come to the pub later?
And you can say why not.
Yeah sure why not.
We are basically saying I can't think of any reasons not to so of course I will.
Why not.
The next one is no way.
No way.
This is used for two situations.
The first one is to disagree.
Say you are having an argument with your friend about what's better football or rugby.
You could say no way football is much better than rugby.
The second way of using no way is when you're surprised or shocked by something.
Maybe somebody in your family is telling you they've won a lot of money and you could say
no way that's amazing.
You're almost saying that's not possible or I don't believe you.
You're saying no way that's amazing.
The next one we have is chuck us.
This means can you pass me or can you give me.
Chuck us.
Maybe if you are at a party you might say chuck us a beer meaning pass me a beer.
Can you get me a beer.
The last one we have so number five is hang on.
Hang on.
This is an informal way of saying wait a moment or in a minute.
For example if you are reading a newspaper and your friend says chuck us the paper you
might say hang on I'm still reading it.
You need to remember these ones I have given you are more informal.
For example you wouldn't use hang on in a restaurant.
Maybe you are the waiter and the customer asks you for something you wouldn't use hang
on in this situation.
It would be rude to English people.
You would say please can you wait a moment.
So just remember these are great to use everyday in English with people you know.
