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

"PUNT ON" vs "TAKE A PUNT ON" - English Idioms Explained #shorts

Today, I've got two very similar-sounding idioms that actually have meanings that are almost completely opposite. The two idioms are "to punt on something" and "to take a punt on something." Let's take a look at "to take a punt on something" first. If you "take a punt on something," it means you take a chance on something, especially if there's some risk involved. Think of gambling or making some kind of a bet. Here's an example to illustrate: "I wasn't sure about the startup's potential, but I decided to take a punt on it anyway." So, here, I wasn't sure how successful the startup would be, but I took the risk and invested in it anyway. Here's another example: "He wasn't sure about the weather, but he took a punt on it being sunny and prepared a picnic." In this instance, he wasn't sure whether the weather was going to be good or not, but he took the risk and prepared a picnic. No
