  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adverb Phrase 19. The adverb phrase today

  • is in kind. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. We actually have two meanings.

  • Here's the first one. If someone does something in kind, he or she does it in

  • the same manner. So in the same manner in the same way or yeah or in the same way

  • especially in reaction or in response to another person's behavior toward them. So

  • we say somebody does something in kind. Okay. Good.

  • I guess it's you know, in kind almost like it the same kind or the same type. I

  • guess that's really where the idea comes from. All right. Let's look at number two

  • here. If someone does something in kind, it is done with goods instead of money.

  • So even though you may not be paying somebody back exactly in money probably

  • what you're giving them is more or less similar or equal to money if you know,

  • if somebody else had to pay for it. So maybe it's not cash, but you're giving

  • them something of similar value of the same kind. So it's the same idea. All right.

  • Let's continue. Let's look at ... we got three examples here. That cover both of

  • these meanings. Number one. If she helped you out , you should do the same in kind.

  • When she needs it. All right. So you know, behave in the same manner she behaved

  • towards you. All right. Number two here . Stacy used to treat me terrible when she was

  • my supervisor, now that the tables have turned

  • I plan to do the same in kind. All right. Now I've kind of covered this a little

  • bit because I'm a long time ago I think I did the idiom of you know, the tables

  • have turned which means like somebody else is now in the position of the other

  • person. So maybe when this person was first hired maybe Stacy was her

  • supervisor but this new person got more promotions and one day she's the boss of

  • Stacy. So the table's turned. So now

  • she can treat her in the same way. So even though we say in kind it's not

  • always a positive way. Sometimes it's a negative way. Stacy didn't treat her nice

  • and maybe maybe she's planning on taking her revenge now. So in that way it's

  • still in kind. It's in the same manner. It's in the same way. So it could either

  • be positive or negative. All right. Let's look at the third one here. She could not

  • repay me in cash, but she did indirectly pay me in kind with all the

  • vegetables. She gave me over the past year from her

  • garden. All right. So again this is, this is like the second meaning here. This is

  • the idea of you , you you don't pay actually in money, but you pay in another

  • way or especially with goods that you give someone. So she repaid her in kind.

  • You know with with all the vegetables or crops or whatever it is that she gave

  • her that she grew. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for

  • your time. Bye-bye.
