Past simple

E, what did I tell you about leaving your socks on the fl...?

He only has one foot, but he seems to leave them everywhere.

This lesson is about body parts, like the back, and how we use them to show or express

our feelings, emotions, or thoughts on a situation.

Stick with me, and we'll take your head out of the clouds and teach you some English.

Notice E is saying: "You're always on my back!"

Well, I'm going to come over here and I'm going to show you the body parts, and then

Or, sorry, let's say a phrase or an expression that we use to indicate our thoughts or feelings

If someone says: "Your head is in the clouds", you're a dreamer,

think about real things; work, eating, life.

You're thinking: "One day I'm going to fly off and I'm going to visit a country, and I'm going to..."

And someone will say: -"Do you have money?"

Let's look at number two: "let your hair down".

This is kind of funny because I really don't have any hair.

If I let my hair down, I'm going to relax.

"Let your hair down" means have fun, relax, take it easy.

Well, clearly I have only two and I cannot be covered with ears, but "be all ears" means

I'm listening to you right now, incredibly focused.

So when someone is all ears, it means I'm listening, you have my attention, I'm not

thinking of anything but what you are saying.

"Be all ears", and there are your ears. Okay?

"Service" means to do something for someone.

Because I have "insincere", but that might be a big word for you.

But it means I don't really believe it or I don't really want to do it.

So, when you give lip service you say: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah", but you really aren't

going to do it or you really don't believe in it.

Example: Your mother comes home and said:

"Okay, you know what? You put the plate over there and the cup over there.

Could you do me a favour? Could you pick it up and put it away?"

And you're watching or playing video games or soccer, and you're like:

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. Uh-huh. Uh-huh."

You have no intention or you're not going to do it.

You just say: "Yeah, yeah, yeah" to make your mother happy so she thinks you're going to

If your boss or employer gives you lip service, they say: "Sure, we'll give you more money.

Everything will be okay. Just go back to work."

They're not going to give you any more money, but they expect you to go back to work.

If you've ever seen Superman, Superman has a chin of steel.

Now, when somebody says: "Keep your chin up", your chin is probably here and you're:

You're upset and they say: "Keep your chin up.

Don't be sad. Be happy. Be strong, like Superman."

That's your chin right here, right underneath your lips.

"Be on someone's back", that's what E was saying.

Well, if you've ever had to carry something really big, I don't know, like...
