🌹Five English Expressions
1. THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
✍Use this expression if you have a plan to do something, or there is an item on your ‘to do’ list, and you want to tell everyone that the best time to do it is NOW, not later. You would use this expression to recommend to other people that you would like to start now.
John: When shall we start this project?
Jane: No time like the present!
2. GIVE ME A HAND
✍A very popular expression that you can use in lots of different situations. It is simply used to ask someone for help. Maybe physical help (you are carrying something too heavy) or another kind ( You have an essay to write and you need some ideas). Either way, it sounds good and more importantly, it sounds native.
Brian: How is your revision going?
Joe: Not very well, I am struggling. Can you give me a hand?
3. TO BE WORN OUT
✍This simply means you are tired and do not have any more energy, usually after spending all your energy on an activity. Again, the beauty of this is it is something we all say, all the time! In your books you may have learned the expression to use is very tired, or even exhausted – but many native English speakers use the expression “worn out” instead.
Chris: It was so busy at the shop today, I am absolutely worn out!
4. NOT AT ALL
✍This expression is extremely popular in the UK. We use it in response to someone thanking us. It is used in the same way as saying, ‘it is no problem’.
Jimmy: I’m sorry I’m late. Thanks for waiting.
Ankit: Not at all.
5. NEVER BETTER
✍This is a response to people asking you how you are. Instead of saying the usual responses: ‘fine, thank you’, or ‘very well, thanks’, we can use this reply to say that we are feeling very good.
Anna: Good to see you Robbie, how are you?
Robbie: Never better, what about you?
(I've) never been better.
and (I've) never felt better.
✍a response to a greeting inquiry into one's health or state of being.
Mary: How are you, Sally? Sally: Never been better, Mary. How about you?
Doctor: How are you, Jane? Jane: Never felt better. Doctor: Then why are you here?
