Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 75. The noun phrase today

Present continuous

is sinking ship or a sinking ship. Let's take a look at the note. A sinking ship

is a company or organization that is failing or you know,  you know that it's

going to fail soon. So let's take a look at a few notes here. The first example I had

better start looking around for another job this company seems like a sinking

ship. It is only a matter of time before they go out of business. This is just

the way we use it. Yeah/  Sometimes you also hear the phrase like to go down with the

ship or you don't want to go down with the ship. So,  so really they're making

like a comparison like a sinking ship. So the company is like it's going under.

It's,  it's a sinking ship and we , we,  that's another way we say to go out

of business too. We also say to go under.  So let's look at the second one here.

That Bank is in so much debt , they are beyond rescue. So they probably cannot be

saved. They are a real sinking ship. Okay.  Good.  I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear.
