Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adverb Phrase 12. The adverb phrase today is in

the flesh. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say we see someone in

the flesh,  we mean he or she is bodily present or we see somebody in person.

They're actually there. We've seen them in the flesh. We've seen them in real

life. That's what we mean,  if we say that we see somebody in the flesh. It's kind

of a little bit of a way,  a more humorous way of saying that you've seen them in

person. You've seen them in the flesh.  This of course our body is actually made

of meat and flesh. So we might say in the flesh. All right. Let's look at number two

here. We have a second meaning. If you meet or see someone in the flesh. You

meet or see someone in person. So we can use it that way as well. Okay. Let's

look we have four examples here. Let's look at example number one. So you might

hear somebody say this. Did you ever see a famous celebrity in the flesh ? You know,

did you ever see a famous celebrity in real life ? You might ask someone.  I think

most people have eventually seen somebody somewhere at some point in

their life. So we might say this. Number two here. You can have an opportunity to

meet the president in the flesh. He will be attending this event. If you like I

can introduce you to him. So maybe this is somebody who has connections with him.

And maybe he you get to meet the president in the flesh. Okay. Let's look

at number three here. That actor looks shorter in the flesh than on TV. Yes.

Sometimes you hear people say this. That somebody might look different in some

way in the flesh.  Maybe somebody might look older or younger or shorter or

taller in the flesh. So you know you do hear people say this. All right. Number

four here. Not only did I see that baseball star in the flesh,  but I got to

shake hands with him as well. So you know,  lucky you. Maybe you got

to meet one of your favorite sports stars.  Okay. Anyway I hope you got it.  I hope

it's clear. Thank you for your time.  Bye-bye.
