Idiom: WING IT - English Vocabulary #shorts


What does it mean if you "wing it"? If someone "wings it", that means they do something without preparing, without planning, without practicing. It has a very similar meaning to the phrase "play it by ear," which I made a video about a few days ago. Here are a few examples to illustrate: • I didn't have time to prepare for the presentation, so I had to "wing it". • During the interview, she had to "wing it" when they asked her an unexpected question about her experience. • Can you share with me your secret to good parenting? I would say you just have to "wing it". • The chef ran out of one essential ingredient, so she had to "wing it" and substitute something else in the recipe. So there you go, the informal idiomatic phrase "to wing it". I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time. https://organicenglish.club/ More from Organic English: Organic English Website: http://bit.ly/Organic-Web On Facebook: http://bit.ly/Organic-Facebook On Instagram: http://bit.ly/Organic-Insta SUBSCRIBE ➡️ http://bit.ly/Subscribe2OrganicEnglish #idioms #english #vocabulary #learnenglish #grammar #ielts #englishteacher #englishvocabulary #englishlearning #englishidioms #englishgrammar #englishtips #englishlanguage #phrasalverbs #toefl #education #studyenglish #learningenglish #learning #phrases #speakenglish #idiom #englishclass #esl #ingles #language #englishcourse #proverbs #vocab #learnenglishonline

HEAR or LISTEN? - Quick Grammar Guide #shorts

Image
Hi folks, Charlie here. What is the difference between "hear" and "listen"? They're both to do with sounds coming into our ears, but we use them in slightly different ways. "Hear" means to notice the sounds with your ears. It's automatic. There's no effort involved. Here are a couple of examples: • I can hear the birds outside. • Can you hear me okay? • Suddenly I heard a noise. There was somebody else in the house. Now, on the other hand, "listen" means to pay attention to the sounds. You need to make an effort. It's not automatic. And we usually listen to something. For example: • I like to listen to music. • I listen very carefully to what she said and wrote it all down. • Can you please listen to me? I have something important to say. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time. ❖ Support the channel HERE 👋🏽: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/organicenglish More from Organic English: Organic English...
