Idioms - KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL - English Vocabulary #shorts

What are you doing if you “keep your eye on the ball”? Today we'll look at the idiom “keep your eye on the ball”. In my last video, we looked at the idiom to “be on the ball”. Today's idiom, “keep your eye on the ball” has a different meaning, so be very careful. So if you keep your eye on the ball, you pay close attention to whatever it is you're doing. Okay, so you're staying focused or you're staying alert to the situation. Here are a couple of example sentences: • I kept my eye on the ball and prioritized my studies and was able to graduate in just three years. • I'm confident if we just keep people's eye on the ball, we'll be able to get this done. • She really needs to keep her eye on the ball if she wants to win the election. Now if you "take your eye off the ball", the opposite is happening. You're losing focus, you're not paying attention: • She lost the election because she really took her eye off the ball. So there you go, I want to help you keep your eye on the ball and keep improving your English, okay? https://organicenglish.club/resources ❖ Support the channel HERE 👋🏽: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organicenglish More from Organic English: Organic English Website: http://bit.ly/Organic-Web On Facebook: http://bit.ly/Organic-Facebook On Instagram: http://bit.ly/Organic-Insta SUBSCRIBE ➡️ http://bit.ly/Subscribe2OrganicEnglish #English #LearnEnglish #EnglishLanguage #IELTS #TOEFL #ESL #idioms #english #vocabulary #learnenglish #grammar #ielts #englishteacher #englishvocabulary #englishlearning #englishidioms #englishgrammar #englishtips #englishlanguage #phrasalverbs #toefl #education #studyenglish #learningenglish #learning #phrases #speakenglish #idiom #englishclass #esl #ingles #language #englishcourse #proverbs #vocab #learnenglishonline

Simple Technique - Remember More Vocabulary - English #shorts

What's one word that you find yourself constantly using in your everyday speech? 

Here's one simple technique to help you remember more vocabulary. Learning vocabulary is important to become more fluent, to become a better communicator. Learning and remembering new vocabulary is difficult.

And here's one simple technique that's going to help you. Write down the word that you think you use too much. The word that you use as a crush. I feel that one of the words I use too much is "interesting."

Example 1: Oh, I watched a really interesting movie the other night.

Example 2: Oh, I read a really interesting article today.

Find a thesaurus. Look for words that you could substitute for that crutch word.

Example 1: For example, I watched a really gripping movie the other night.

Example 2: Or I read a very thought-provoking article this morning.

Now that you know these words, try to consciously integrate them into your speaking and your writing. In this case, you're actually learning words that you are going to use.

BEEN vs GONE - What's the difference? #shorts

BEEN vs GONE - What's the difference? #shorts

Today, I want to look at two words: "been" and "gone." "Been" is the past participle of the verb "be," and "gone" is the past participle of the verb "go." Let's explore their meanings. BEEN: We use "been" when we want to say that someone has visited somewhere and then returned. Examples: "I've been to Paris twice." (I visited Paris, but now I'm back.) "She has been to the new museum." (She visited the new museum and returned.) GONE: We use "gone" to show that someone has left a place but hasn't returned yet. Examples: "He's gone to the shops." (He left for the shops to go shopping, but he hasn't come back yet.) "They have all gone home." (They left and are not present anymore.) Now let's compare the two to highlight the difference: "I've been to London." (I visited London and I've returned.) "He's gone to London." (He left for London, but he hasn't come back. He's not here right now.) Remember, "been" is used when someone has traveled and returned, while "gone" is used when someone has left and is not present. I hope that explanation helps. Thanks for watching, and see you next time. https://organicenglish.club/resources ❖ Support the channel HERE 👋🏽: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organicenglish More from Organic English: Organic English Website: http://bit.ly/Organic-Web On Facebook: http://bit.ly/Organic-Facebook On Instagram: http://bit.ly/Organic-Insta SUBSCRIBE ➡️ http://bit.ly/Subscribe2OrganicEnglish #English #LearnEnglish #EnglishLanguage #IELTS #TOEFL #ESL #slowenglish #english #nativespeakeridioms #englishvocabulary #esl #englishlearning #englishlanguagelearning #motivation #pronunciation #eslvocabulary

Idiom: GET COLD FEET - English Vocabulary #shorts

Idiom: GET COLD FEET - English Vocabulary #shorts

Idiom: GET COLD FEET - English Vocabulary 

Today's idiom is "get cold feet." Now, if someone says they got cold feet and didn't do something, does that mean their feet were literally cold?

Now, if you get cold feet, you suddenly become too frightened or too nervous to do whatever you were planning to do.

Here are a few examples to illustrate:

 • John was all set to propose to his girlfriend, but he got cold feet and he decided to wait.

 • Some of them got cold feet and they wanted to shut down the company.

 • Emily had planned to speak up during the meeting and share an idea, but she got cold feet at the last minute and didn't say anything.

When's the last time you got cold feet and didn't do what you were planning to do?

I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time!

"ABOVE BOARD" vs "ACROSS THE BOARD" - English Idioms Explained #shorts

"ABOVE BOARD" vs "ACROSS THE BOARD" - English Idioms Explained #shorts

Today we're looking at the idioms "above board" and "across the board." They can get confused because they sound pretty similar. Now, if something is "above board," it's done in an honest way. According to the rules or the law. Here are a few examples: • The deal was completely open and above board. • You know, we want people to be above board and to do things the right way. • This has been the cleanest, most above board Oscar race in years. Now if something is "across the board," it applies to everyone and everything equally. Here are a few examples: • The company announced a 5% pay cut across the board for all employees. • And across the board, we should be working to make our power sources better. • Rather than customize deals, we offer standard pricing across the board. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
