to reek of something. Yeah. If we say something reeks of something it has a

really, really bad smell, a really strong smell. So let's look at the note here.

So if something or somebody, yeah you could say that a person or thing reeks

of something, reeks of a particular thing. He or she has a very strong unpleasant

smell. Or number two. If something reeks of another thing, it has a very

unpleasant quality. So we have two uses for it here. So we have the literal

meaning of truly smelling bad, like a bad odor. Or we have something where it has a

certain type of a quality that's unpleasant as well we can use it that

way. So let's take a look at several examples here. Example number one. His

breath reeks of alcohol. Yeah. We often hear this. You know , if you've ever been

close to anyone they did a lot of drinking and you could smell the alcohol

coming directly off of their mouth or from their mouth that's what. That's the

way somebody would say it. They said that their their mouth or we might say their

breath we might also say their breath reeks of alcohol. All right. Number two.

Yes. He said when he kissed Jill her mouth wreaked of cigarettes. Yeah. So if

especially if somebody is a nonsmoker, they'll notice this even more. If they

kiss somebody who was a regular smoker. Yeah. You just smell a lot of

cigarettes and I don't know maybe you don't mind, maybe you do mind. I don't

know. It depends on how much you like the person you know, it can go both ways So

woman could kiss a guy who's a smoker too. Maybe she'll bear it. Maybe she'll

put up with it. You know, she really likes that guy or vice versa. Either way, but if

one of them is a nonsmoker, the other one is a smoker then you know. This is this

is what happens. We could say they're there. You can also say that their breath

or their mouth reeks of cigarettes. You say that of a room too

sometimes if you've ever maybe if a hotel was booked up and they had a

smoking room. You know if you ever gone into a room where there are a lot of

smokers stay before you could say the room reeks of cigarettes as well. Okay.

Cigarette , cigarette odor. All right. Let's look at number three here. The kitchen

reeks of garlic. His mom cut up and added a lot of garlic

to her dish. This may depend I mean some people

really hate the smell of garlic. But I mean if you really like to eat garlic like

you might smell it you go, mmm good delicious. That's the way it is depending

upon if you really like it if you think it's a really good taste but other

people it definitely has a strong smell and if somebody never had it before they

probably wouldn't like the smell. Okay good. Let's continue, and the last one is

you know, the one here about an unpleasant quality you'd say that

government deal reeks of corruption yes this is the way that we might use it in

this sense. Anyway , I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
