Hello my name is Riccardo and welcome back to SPIKA presents Get the Vocab

the show that teaches you English using TV series

To-infinitive

in this season we're going to talk about the big bang theory

in every video we talk about the key word of a specific episode

remember to watch this video first and then watch the episode

and after that, you can come on our website and check out some cool stuff that we have for you!

but now let's get started with  the Big Bang Theory!

So the first word we are going to see today is

Now, "propensity" is when youdo something, and you usually do it always in the same way, naturally

so you have a propensity for it, let me give you an example...

when we go out, Vanessa has the propensity for drinking too much!

literally speaking, "to snap" means to break something in half

metaphorically speaking, it means to become reeeeeeally angry, very quickly!

So for example: "when Hulk SNAPS, Hulk smash!"

It just means when you're very worried about someone

Don't worry honey! It's going to be alright!

Now,  the "Pursuit" is the action of going after someone or something

and it's very common in the news so for example you will hear...

The PURSUIT of the police ended up last night, at nine o'clock

and the criminal has been found to have 9624 pounds of cocaine on him

these are two physical problems that someone can have

a LIMP is when you can't walk normally because you have a problem with your leg

a LAZY EYE is when you can't see properly from one of your eyes

and you have it closed almost always like this

"to have a shot" means to have the possibility to succeed at something

even if it's a little bit difficult, like...

This describes the action of a person who tries to have "physical contact"

if they try to hard, it's called "sexual harassment"

and you can go to jail for it, so watch out!!!

now this verb just means we are able to do something

or you can take care of a situation which is very difficult, for example

This verb means when something is in your destiny so it MUST happen

or when you must do something for example we're BOUND by law

now this verb just means when you can't make a decision between two important things

for example  I'm torn between either moving to London or to Miami Beach

to carve means to create something by cutting the surface

thank you so much for watching, it means a to to us, and you know it!
