Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Verb Phrase 155. The  verb phrase today is to sweat

Adverbs of degree

out or sometimes we might even say to sweat it out. All right. Let's take a

Adverbs of manner

look. We actually have two meanings here.  The  first one if someone sweats something

out he or she gets rid of something from one's body by sweating. So this is the

more literal meaning. You sweat something out. You sweat something out of your body.

All right,  and we have two examples to cover this meaning.  Here's the first one she

covered herself with a lot of heavy warm blankets to try to sweat out her cold.

Okay . So she's literally sweating the sweat out of her body. Or number two. She

likes to take long saunas to sweat out the toxins. Remember the

toxins means like poisons from her body.  Okay. So this is the more literal meaning

Again you are literally sweating in this one. All right. Here's the second one.

To endure something unpleasant or await something in a suspenseful or nervous manner.

You're nervous about it. A lot of times when we are nervous we do start to

sweat. So that's probably why it also picked up this meaning. All right. And we

have our three examples to cover all of these. Here's the first one here. She

wasn't sure if she did well enough on her college entrance examination. She was

really sweating it out until she got the results. So this kind of covers

several of them here. It's a little unpleasant. It is definitely suspenseful

because you have to keep waiting and you might be nervous so it kind of covers

all three in one here. Let's look at the second one.  I got stuck in that elevator

for two hours due to that power outage.  So the electricity went off. The elevator

if you're unfortunate to be the one in the elevator when it stops you get stuck

in there.  I just had to sweat it out until the power came back

on and I was finally let out of the elevator. Okay. Good. So this one is

definitely unpleasant also very nervous.  in a  nervous manner. A lot of people would

panic if this happened to them. All right number three here. Try not to think about

if you are going to be one of the downsized employees. Yeah. Maybe the

company already announced they're going to do it but they haven't told who's

getting downsized and who is  not yet.  Or not you're just going to have to sweat it

out until the downsizing is over. Or, or unless they know. They let you know

you've been one of the downsize people.  Unfortunately we hope that doesn't happen to you.

Okay. Good. Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.
