Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 129 The verb phrase today is
-
pop in. Okay we got three meanings of pop in today. So we'll give examples for all
-
of them. Let's look at the first one. The first meaning is if someone pops in a
-
place he or she enters that place for a short time ... Yeah we use this one a lot.
-
This is very, very common. You just want to pop into place
-
quickly, get something leave not spend too much time in there. Number two. To
-
make a short visit in the same sense you can also say to pop by. So you can pop
-
in or pop by both to mean a short visit. Pop always has the idea that you know
-
kind of suddenly. Or kind of quickly. Any time something pops. All right. The third
-
one here means to snap or push something into place. So that in that sense
-
something could pop into place. Okay, good. So let's look at the first example. Let's
-
just pop in 7-eleven to pick up a drink. I'm thirsty. Yeah this is very, very
-
common. You might pop it into a convenience store or you know pop into
-
someplace just for a short time. Get something and go out. We hear that all
-
the time. Extremely common. Number two while we were ... while we were in ... while we
-
are in that neighborhood. Sorry. We should pop in and visit your brother.
-
So while we are in that neighborhood, we should pop in and visit your brother.
-
It means we should just stop by. We should pop by. Visit him for a short time.
-
because we're there. We're close. We're in that neighborhood. Anyway, all right. Let's
-
look at the third one here. So I've kind of given two examples for the last
-
meaning because this is one that I think I want students even concentrate on
-
because of maybe some students might even know a couple of the others, but
-
maybe you don't know this one. Or, or are aware of this one. He dislocated his
-
shoulder and luckily the doctor was able to pop it in place again. Yeah, and
-
especially when we say to pop it in it might actually make a little bit of a sound.
-
That's why we say like to snap. Snap means like this is sound , so I think they
-
do say that. If somebody dislocates a shoulder or some bone and they pop it
-
you actually hear a pop when it goes back in. Or a little snapping sound. So and the
-
last one here. That child dropped his toy and it came apart. Luckily I was able to
-
pop the parts back into place. So maybe it was an easy toy to fix. Luckily you just
-
had to snap it all back in. So you just pop the parts back into place. Anyway I
-
hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
