If you would like to truly master the English language and be truly fluent, you know that you need to learn common English expressions that are used on a daily basis.

Future simple

In this video, I will teach you a lot of different expressions that contain the word, word, in them.

For this video, I decided to do it a little differently.

Normally, I explain the meanings of the expressions to you, but in this case, I decided I would ask a native speaker to teach them to you.

I thought it would be interesting to do it this way because then we can analyze how the native speaker is speaking and maybe they're going to use other expressions while they're teaching you the expression.

You have probably seen some of my previous videos with Drake.

I decided to contact Drake again to teach you these expressions because he's so good at explaining them.

Drake and I decided to meet at Venice Beach.

We both live near Venice Beach in Los Angeles and I thought it would be interesting to film the video there.

The expressions that you will learn in this video are not slang expressions.

They're everyday expressions that you can use both in casual situations and professional situations.

First, I want to make sure you can pronounce the word, word, correctly.

It's a little bit difficult to pronounce.

Let's look at the letter O. Make sure you do not say, oh.

We're going to combine the W and the R and we're going to say it like this, wer, wer.

We're going to eliminate the O. Pretend the O doesn't exist, wer, wer, word, word.

And now, let's learn some common expressions with the word, word.

And I will also teach you some words and expressions that Drake is using that you might not be familiar with.

What does it mean if somebody says, I give you my word?

Giving someone your word usually means that you're promising them something.

You're telling them that your words are true.

Can you give me an example of when you might use it?

If your mother wants you to wash the dishes and you say, I promise, I promise, I give you my word.

And she might be mad if you skip the dishes.

You go outside and said to play or do something else.

You come back and she says, I thought you were going to do the dishes.

Let's listen to how some other people use, I give you my word.

He's a guy that when he says something, you can believe it.

If he says he's going to do something, he's going to get it done.

Let's listen to how some other people use, he's a man of his word.

But John was a man of his word and his handshake was no casual commitment.

When you break your word, it's like you didn't follow through on your word.

You broke your word means exactly that, that you didn't hold true to your promise.

You promised something and you didn't deliver on your word.

When Drake explained the meaning of, you broke your word, he used three different expressions to explain it.

He said, you didn't hold true to your promise.

All three of those have the same meaning.

So there are four ways that you can say that.

And now you know four different ways to express that same meaning.

Instead of saying, you promised, but you didn't do what you said you were going to do, you can say, you broke your word.

Don't put words in my mouth is someone assuming that you said something that you didn't literally say.

They're making assumptions based on the words that you are saying that you mean something else.

So a lot of times the politicians will say, don't put words in my mouth.

You know, if they're, if they're having a debate against each other, they may say something like, you know, I believe in this, this, and this.

And the other politician will say, oh, so, and he'll say something that, um, is maybe a little outlandish or crazy.

And the other guy will say, no, don't put words in my mouth.

That means negative idea or negative meaning or negative feeling.

And he'll say something that, um, is maybe a little outlandish.

Outlandish is one of the words that I teach in my course, 400 Advanced English Words You
