Ah, item number two today is about something that I shared on Facebook and Instagram.

I don't think I share this Twitter thing.

This is a screenshot from our most recent culture video.

If you have not seen the English Class 101 YouTube channel, we do a series about culture, So not just language, but also cultural points.

So, like how to or rather what it's like to visit a supermarket in the U.

This is the cost of living in New York City video.

So if you're interested in the kind of lifestyle in the big city in the U.

All right, so that isn't for announcements.

I think we are up and rolling on Facebook and on YouTube now, which is awesome.

I have not seen comments yet because we're getting everything.

Thanks very much for coming and then on Facebook.

Uh, so, as I said, today's topic is 15 of the most common English idioms for a little bit of background about this, I chose these from a study.

I believe I can't remember the university off the top of my head.

I want to say Homa, there's there is a study I was reading about theme oats, the highest frequency, which means the most often used idioms in American English.

So again, as always, for me, this is American English.

Thes are very common idiomatic expressions, which means they kind of have a meaning that might not be immediately understandable.

So that means these words don't necessarily.

They don't always have exactly the meaning, like the basic meaning of the words.

So we're going to talk about 15 very common ones.

I hope that everybody can find something of use for them.

I'm going to share the video and then I'm going to begin.

I have made five or rather, three groups of five, uh, idioms each.

Let's get started with this 1st 1 up here to make sure is our first idiomatic expression.

I'm going to slow down my radio speech now, too, so to make sure to make sure means to do something, so there are no doubts about a situation to do something, so there are no doubts.

So doubts means like there's no worries you have about his situation.

There are no questions that you have about a situation.

You don't think something might be wrong or there might be a problem.

To make sure of something is a common way to use this in an example sentence.

I want to make sure you understand this idiom, so I want, I think said, I want to make sure make sure you'll often hear like a presenters and like politicians use this word in speeches.

We need to make sure something, something, something.

So I want to make sure you understand this idiom, for example, I want to make sure you understand.

So again, make sure means I want Thio do something, so there are no doubt.

So I want to in this case, teach or explain so that there are no questions, no doubts about something.

Make sure a nice one to lead off with from today, and I'll try to check your questions live throughout the chat.

If you want to make example sentences with these two, please, please, please feel free.

Again, I will try to catch as many as again.

I'm going to read what's on the board here.

There are several, so several means many multiple.

There are many different ways to use deal with their many different senses of this idiomatic expression.

So let's take a look and I'll share a couple example sentences about this first to deal with something to deal with something means to do something about a problem.

To do something about a problem or about a challenge, like I don't want to deal with this right now, or can you please deal with this later?

So that means to do something usually too fix a problem.

So to deal with has this meaning seconds.

It can mean to make business agreements to make business agreements.

You'll know that it's sense number two cents or meaning number two when there's usually like another person or another company or another organization after this verb.

So, for example, I don't want to deal with that company anymore.
