I was going shoot this video outside but it’s been raining so much here for the past week and I’m still waiting for the weather to blow over Blow phrasal verbs is our topic today so let’s do it. sometimes we can go through a bad time in our lives either professionally or personally It’s like a storm with dark clouds hanging overhead I’ve been through some hard times in my life you know when you look up at the sky at night and the only positive that thing you can see (is) are a few stars which seem so far, far away Does that sound corny? All kidding aside, if you're going through some hard times right now listen to some music, find a comedy to make you laugh 'cause before you know it, things will blow over blowing things out of proportion is a wife who wakes up her husband at 3:00 a.m. Honey, wake up, get up, oh God! wake up What's the matter, is the building on fire? NO, it's here in our apartment Oh my God What's in our apartment? It's a bee flying around our apartment and it looks lost and angry! this is not a phrasal verb, but an idiom using blow I think a movie, even though it’s a little old, that’s mind-blowing is Matrix that whole red pill, blue pill thing and what happens when he takes the red pill blew my mind Another popular one, even though it's not a phrasal verb which means to spoil your chances of achieving something you want to achieve because of something you do or say So you’re hoping that something will happen, you're working(informal English) on it for days, for weeks, for months, for years and then at some point “you blow it” "ah man, I blew it!" A good example are(is) those teams of professionals who are building those domino mazes for the Guiness Book of World Records hundreds of thousands of dominos and then one guy just accidently knocks one of them over with his foot and.......... and it just goes..........crashing down "ah man, I blew it!" this is when you get extremely angry at/with someone A classic example is road rage, it’s a huge problem here in Canada you’re driving along and for no reason someone cuts in front of you without even looking they just............ Then the driver who was cut off, moi, has two choices count to ten and laugh it off he's just on drugs or take revenge when something impresses you in a good way this is one of my favorite ones, we say wow, that music, that movie just blew me away it just floored me it knocked me over Maybe you like listening to a certain singer that just blows you away I have lots of students who have different favorite singers and they send me links and tell me, "this is going to blow you away" Well everybody, the time blew by quickly in this lesson and I am happy to know that my phrasal verb videos are helping so many people who are trying to remember lists and lists of phrasal verbs Have a wonderful day and I am sure I will get a comment from one of my male subscribers about the meaning of another blow idiom I’d mention it in this video but I wanted to keep things rated PG So have a great day! Bye for now! that whole red pill, blue fill blue thill buy it now blow up at or with someone, this is when you get extremely angry with or aaaat then the driver, who was just cut off, moi, has two choices two choices!!!!!!!!
