Hello everybody and welcome to Learning English TV 16.

Past continuous

but it’s been raining so much here for the past week

and I’m still waiting for the weather to blow over

Blow phrasal verbs is our topic today so let’s do it.

sometimes we can go through a bad time in our lives

It’s like a storm with dark clouds hanging overhead

I’ve been through some hard times in my life

you know when you look up at the sky at night

and the only positive that thing you can see (is) are a few stars

All kidding aside, if you're going through some hard times right now

listen to some music, find a comedy to make you laugh

'cause before you know it, things will blow over

blowing things out of proportion is a wife who wakes up her husband at 3:00 a.m.

What's the matter, is the building on fire?

It's a bee flying around our apartment and it looks lost and angry!

this is not a phrasal verb, but an idiom using blow

I think a movie, even though it’s a little old, that’s mind-blowing is Matrix

that whole red pill, blue pill thing and what happens when he takes the red pill

Another popular one, even though it's not a phrasal verb

which means to spoil your chances of achieving something

you want to achieve because of something you do or say

So you’re hoping that something will happen,

you're working(informal English) on it for days, for weeks, for months, for years

A good example are(is) those teams of professionals who are building those domino mazes for the Guiness Book of World Records

and then one guy just accidently knocks one of them over with his foot and..........

this is when you get extremely angry at/with someone

someone cuts in front of you without even looking

Then the driver who was cut off, moi, has two choices

when something impresses you in a good way

this is one of my favorite ones, we say wow, that music, that movie just blew me away

Maybe you like listening to a certain singer that just blows you away

I have lots of students who have different favorite singers

and they send me links and tell me, "this is going to blow you away"

Well everybody,  the time blew by quickly in this lesson

and I am happy to know that my phrasal verb videos are helping

so many people who are trying to remember lists and lists of phrasal verbs

Have a wonderful day and I am sure I will get a comment

from one of my male subscribers about the meaning of another blow idiom

blow up at or with someone, this is when you get extremely angry with or aaaat

then the driver, who was just cut off, moi, has two choices
