Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Lesson 383. The title of today's lesson is the

incorrect use of "handle with. " Okay.  Let's take a look at the note here. In

Adverbs of frequency

English the word "handle" in most cases means "deal with. "  So we usually don't say

"handle with" because if you say handle with it's almost like saying deal with,

with which really would not make any sense. All right. So let's look at a couple

of examples where students might make a mistake. All right. Again here with the X,

this is wrong. In order to become a kindergarten teacher,  she had to learn

how to handle with children. No.  of course,  with the check this would be

correct. In order to become a kindergarten teacher she had to learn

how to handle children. Good and the second one here. Again with the X. This

would be wrong. Many people think corporal punishment is not the way to

handle with discipline. No again. You should say many people think corporal

punishment is not the way to handle discipline. Okay. So I hope that's clear.

So you can see where students sometimes would make a mistake by using handle

with where they should only be using handle. However since we said that. There

are a couple of exceptions,  but they're usually with fixed phrases. So however the

phrase is'  handle with care'  and ' handle somebody or something with the kid

gloves' are exceptions.  Okay. Handle with care is often written on

fragile packages. So you just have that as a sentence you know, write handle with

care on that package. So to make sure that somebody doesn't just throw the bag

or the box around or the package around.  So the things inside will not break. You want

them to be handled with care , very carefully. Or the second one here. Handle

with kid gloves means to handle something with extreme care. It could be

a person or a situation too. You need to handle this issue with kid gloves. Maybe

it's a very sensitive issue. So handle it with kid gloves,

be very careful what you say or how you say about it . Okay.  Good.

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