Well hello and welcome to this English lesson where we're

To-infinitive

going to talk about words and phrases you can use in English

when something goes wrong in life. Life has a funny way of

going sideways sometimes we sometimes say. Um usually life

is smooth. Usually you have a good day. You have a good

night. You have a good day. But every once in a while things go

wrong. So in this English lesson I'll help you learn

those English words and phrases. Please listen to each

word as I teach it. And also listen to the phrases I use

when I talk about each individual word because I

sometimes add quite a bit more information as I'm talking

about it. So once again welcome to this English lesson about

words and phrases to use when things go wrong. So the first

word I have is crash. This is an interesting word because you

can crash into someone. Like if you're driving your car and you

hit someone else you can crash into them. But then we also say

that you are in a crash. So we kind of use it as a verb and a

noun. When you crash into someone it means you hit them.

Sometimes at the grocery store I'm driving my grocery cart and

I accidentally crash into something. Cos sometimes I'm

looking at food when I should be looking at where I'm going.

Uh I actually crashed into someone else's cart a couple of

weeks ago it was a little bit embarrassing. But to crash when

you crash into something it means that usually you're

driving a car or something else and you lose control. That's

another phrase we use. You lose control and then maybe you

crash. Hopefully you don't get hurt. And then this is one that

any of you who have children or hang around with children would

know and it's to spill. When you spill something like if I

take this cup and if I accidentally bumped into the

cup the water would spill out of the cup. And interestingly

enough We use this the same way. We use it as a verb. Like

you can spill the water. The water's spilled out of the cup.

And then you have a spill. So this little guy here he spilled

his milk and now there is a spill on the table and he is

wiping up that spill. Never fun when we had little kids. It's

never fun in the morning when you're trying to get out the

door to go to work and suddenly something goes wrong one of

your kids spill something and you have to clean it up. I Uh

topple if you've ever played this game it's called Jenga.

It's a game where you stack blocks and eventually the

blocks will topple. Uh you can also topple something over like

if you push a stack of things. But a good example would be if

you stack a whole bunch of boxes up. And the boxes aren't

very stable. Like if they kind of move back and forth.

Eventually the boxes will topple over. So it's similar to

fall. It's similar to fall down. Uh but it does have kind

of a unique case. When I was walking in from the barn a few

months ago I was carrying a whole bunch of buckets and then

they ended up they toppled over. Um which means they kind

of ended up falling. Um never fun. When something topple over

it's good that it's good if nothing breaks. Stuck. So this

is a good one for this time of year. Um when you talk about

things going wrong when it's winter one of the things that

can go wrong is that you get stuck. This guy is driving in

really deep snow and eventually he might get stuck. He might be

stuck right now. When you're stuck you can't move forward or

backwards. Your wheels spin. It makes this sound a literally

the sound you'll hear when you are stuck in the snow. Maybe in

your country you can be stuck in the mud. Maybe it rains a

lot and the soil gets really wet and you can end up getting

stuck in the mud. But it's never fun to get stuck. I

cleaned my driveway already this morning. Because there is

a truck coming today to deliver something. And I don't want the

truck to get stuck in the snow. That rhymes doesn't it? I don't

want the truck to get stuck in snow. Rip or tear. These are

very similar. Um you might be familiar with ripped jeans.

Sometimes people buy their jeans like this. For someone

old like me that doesn't make sense. But when you the other

day I was walking and my pants got caught on a nail and I

ripped my pants. So my pants ended up having a rip in them.

Notice once again I ripped my pants and I ended up with a rip

in it. We use the word tear as well but I think when you're

talking about jeans and clothing we usually talk about

rip. It's when there something happens that makes a hole in

the clothing that you are wearing. You could use the word

tear as well. Like oh I have a tear. There's a tear in the

sleeve of my shirt. That would be totally appropriate as well.

Break. Sometimes things break. This is probably one of the

most common ways to describe something when it's no longer

whole. Okay. We would say that when you throw a rock at a

window the window will break. When something break we then

say it is broken. Okay so when you break something it then

becomes broken. Um all of my windows in my house are in

perfect shape. I I have not I don't have any broken windows.

Although when I use the snowblower it shots snow at the

house. Um and when it does that it sometimes shoots little

stones. So I have to be careful because I don't want to break a

window. So sometimes your tire goes flat and sometimes your

tire goes flat because it is punctured. When something is

punctured it means it gets a hole in it. If you drive over a

nail a nail is a sharp piece of metal that you bang into wood.

But if you drive over a nail it will puncture your tire. The

nail will go through the tire and it will make a hole in it.

It will puncture your tire. Never a good never a good day

when you walk to the parking lot and see that somehow you

drove on a nail and it punctured your tire. And then

again we would call this a flat tire. So the puncture is what

caused the air to come out. But now we would simply call it a

flat tire. Fracture. So has Bob the Canadian ever broken any
