something. So rest assured. Rest easy.  Don't worry about something you know, we,

we got it. We're under control.  All right. So let's continue with the note

here. So if one tells someone to be rest assured,  he or she is telling another

person that they can be certain or confident that something will be done.

control. All right. Don't worry we got this we're in control.

Rest assured. It'll be taken care of.  It is usually used as an imperative. Kind

of like an order. You tell them you rest assured. Nobody says I rest assure.

or I was rest assured and it's kind of weird. Usually somebody's telling

somebody else rest assured. Like don't worry about it.

examples  here. Example number one. Rest assured. We will make sure your package

arrives on time. Yeah. This is a common one. People are trying to send something,

especially if they were sending it late and they weren't sure it was going to

arrive on time. Maybe they want it to arrive for somebody's birthday or maybe

it's important that you know it's due to get in. Maybe you might get in trouble if

something's not on time. So they're telling you don't worry. We got this.

It'll be there. It'll arrive on time don't worry.

Rest assured. We got this or number two you could be rest assured. We will do

everything to help you. Well you know,  this is trying to give somebody

confidence like don't worry we won't forget about you we will be trying our

best to help you. All right. Let's look at  number three. Rest assured. We will

provide your grandmother with the best of care. It  sounds like maybe Grandma.

They're putting Grandma in an old-age home or retirement home or nursing home.

possibly. And you know people are feeling a little guilty about it or that they're

still worried that maybe they won't really you know,  pay much attention to

her.  So they're telling them rest assured. We

will provide her with the best of care.  We'll take care of it. Were in ... we're

in control. You can take it easy. Okay.  Anyway I hope you got it.  I hope it is clear.
