Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 238. The  idiom today simply in order

Okay.  And we actually have three uses and three meanings here. So let's look at the

Adverbs of frequency

first one. When we say in order,  sometimes we mean something is organized or

properly arranged. So put in the proper order. Or number two,  in a proper sequence,

You know,  one following each other .  Like we use the example like you know,

alphabetical order or in order according to number or series or something like

that. So we say you know in a proper sequence,  in the correct sequence.  Maybe

even according to dates it could be in order.

Okay. And the third one is a suitable or correct. So some ... we often use this in the

phrase like something is in order. It means something is suitable for the situation,

or the event,   or whatever is happening at that time. Okay. So let's

look at some examples here. Example number one. Everything in this room is in

chaos.  I need to get it in order. So this is what we mean. You need to get it

you know,  organized. You need to get it arranged the right way. So you need to

get it in order. Or maybe something maybe your desk is messy. You want to get your

your desk in order. All right. Good.  Let's look at number two here. Can you

put these files in order according to the alphabet. You know so we say

alphabetical order. In order according to the alphabet. We got a lot of files,  you

know,  by ABCD. So somebody wants you to file them in that way. Okay. Good. Let's

continue. Let's look at number three here.  You've got a promotion ? Really that

happened ?  I believe a celebration is in order. You know. Let's go out let's you

know,  buy you a drink or you know something like that. Let's do something

to show we're celebrating this.  All right. Number four. After your bad

behavior,  I would say an apology is in order. So we use in order in this way.

It's both. It  could be used for both positive or negative things. Just like

you could say a celebration is in order.  It's very positive or an apology could

be in order. Because maybe you did something wrong , and somebody could say you

know,  you really you have to apologize.  You're just definitely wrong. It's a the

right thing to do. It's a suitable thing to do here. All right. And let's look at

the last one.  I heard you are getting married.  I would say some congratulations

is in order.  Yeah. Maybe even maybe they're just going to

shake your hands and say congratulations.  Or again maybe do something. Give you

a gift or buy you something. Or maybe also ask you out. You know,  go eat

something to try to celebrate. Okay. Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope it's
