How you doing today?

It's Elliot from e.

Today I'm actually going to be talking about a recent tweet.

I did which people?

Some people knew what I meant and some people didn't.

There's actually some good vocabulary and good phrase or techniques which are in this tweet I posted on it.

It might be really useful for you to learn.

It's a very commonly used phrase in English by natives.

So it'll be good for you to understand these phrases before you go out and practice with people.

Eso what I wrote waas.

It's tipping it down in England today.

I'm so glad I'm about to catch a flight to Spain.

Yeah, I'm sure you kind of get the gist.

You get the idea of what I was saying in this, but I'm going to break it down for you.

So first of all, we have the idiomatic phrase which is tipping it down now.

This is really commonly used, especially in England, because it's always raining in England on when we say tipping it down.

Imagine your tipping a bucket off water over someone's head.

It's a lot off water going straight down heavily.

So when when it's tipping it down on, we're talking about the weather.

This means that it's raining very heavily.

And, yes, this happens a lot in England.

This country is full off rain.

It's always raining.

So you need to know this one, especially with British English after this one I carried on.

So we've got its tipping it down today.

On the next phrase is I'm so glad I'm about to catch a flight to Spain.

So yes, the bit you probably don't understand.

But you've probably heard it before.

You might have heard it before, but you probably don't understand.

Catch a flight now.

This is really simple.

It doesn't really make sense when you think about it logically.

But to catch a flight is to get on an airplane on fly somewhere.

It's just like saying to get on a plane.

But it's a bit mawr off a kind of conversational, easy, mawr fluent way of saying I'm going to get on a new airplane, so you would just say I'm going to catch a flight.

Ah, flight is obviously a journey on a plane, so to catch the flight means you're just going to get on it.

The whole catch thing doesn't make sense because obviously you can't catch on airplane.

That would be That would be quite hard, I imagine.

But that's that's essentially what this means.

Okay, so that was just a quick video lesson for you today.
