Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Prepositional Phrase one. The  prepositional

phrase today is for good. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. If someone does

something for good or something happens for good,  it is permanent or forever. So

usually that's the end. It doesn't come back. It doesn't return. It's for good. All

right. For good can also mean that something is done for the benefit of

others or for the benefit of mankind or something like that.

Okay. So let's look at several examples here. Example number one.  I think Bill and

Jane broke up for good this time.  Their quarrel was too serious.  I don't

think they will ever get back together again. Yeah. That's what we might say

somebody separated for good or broke up for good. Even though it's not really

good because it's probably divorce or or a breakup. But , but that's the way we use

it to mean permanently. Number 2 here.  After he got a wake-up call from the

doctor,  he decided to give up smoking for good. Yeah. Maybe the doctor gave him very

strong stern warnings. Like if you don't smoke ...  if you don't stop smoking you know,

you're going to get lung cancer or something like that. Or you know you only

have so many years left. Anyway he got a wake-up call. So he decided to give up

smoking for good,  for real this time.  Never go back to it. All right. Number 3

here. He gave up being a lawyer for good after he realized that he , he helped to

free a pedophile that went back to commit crimes. Yes. Sometimes maybe

somewhere some lawyers feel guilty about something.  Even though he was doing his job,  he

didn't like the results. So maybe there was something that made him stop being a

lawyer. Okay. Good and four or five this is  more like you know,  for the good of

others. So let's look at number four. He decided to use some of his wealth for

good and donated to several charities.  So you know,  for the good of people or

for the good of others. And number five.  He wants to use his fame for good and he

came out to support several causes or at least several causes he believed in. So

he's doing it for good,  for the good of others or for the good of mankind. Okay,

Anyway I hope you got it. I hope  it was clear.  Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
