Let's learn some ways to say 'tired'
-
in British English.
-
'I am absolutely knackered.'
-
'Knackered' means 'very tired'.
-
As it's an extreme adjective we
-
can say 'absolutely knackered'.
-
'I am worn out'.
-
We say 'worn out' when we're tired
-
because we were busy.
-
'I am spent.' When you have no more
-
energy you are 'spent'.
-
'I'm just completely done in.'
-
We can also say 'done in'
-
and this is an adjective phrase.
-
'Now excuse me because I am
-
going to conk out'
-
- and that is a phrasal verb
-
which means 'go to sleep'.
-
Good night!
