difference between overdue and expire. Yeah. Sometimes I will have students ask

me about these two and sometimes it could lead to a mistake or it could lead

to confusion, if you don't know the difference between the two. So let's take

a look here. First. Let's look at the note. We look at

overdue. Overdue means that something should have been done before or at an

earlier time. So we usually use it for things like that. It is often used for

things that are borrowed. You know, like like a book from the library or a

videotape from a store or video game from a store or something like that.

And should be returned or things that should have been paid by a certain date.

You know, especially things like bills. You know your bill could be overdue. Your

electric bill could be overdue or your gas bill could be overdue. Okay. Let's

continue here with expire. Expire means things ... expire means that an agreement

contract or documents time period comes to an end. Expire is often used for

memberships like if you know you belong to a gym or or a health club or

something like that you may have a membership. Contracts of course, contracts

can expire. They do expire. They , you have an ending date. That's why baseball

players or sports players have to resign with a new contract. Because the old one

does eventually end. It expires. It comes to an end. Dates on documents, you know,

passport , license. Such as passports, licenses, etc. It is also used to be a

limit on things that are perishable. All right. You know just like you go to the

store. We have expiration date on a lot of food. Usually the the date on most of

those is usually like a sell by date. But it's still there's an expiration date.

That stores cannot sell it by a certain date. So you have expiration

dates on lots of food or should no longer be used. Yes. There's also

expiration dates on like medicine. You know , they don't suggest that you use it

you know, past this date or something like that. All right. Let's continue. All right.

Let's listen to the first one here with the X. This is one where a student is

likely to make a mistake. I didn't realize my passport was overdue

until I got to the airport. No. That's a document. We use expire, not overdue. Okay.

Good. All right. Number ... next one here I had to pay a fine because my library book was

overdue. Well, remember we told you with things that are borrowed we often use

overdue or they were expected to happen by a certain time. We use it for a woman

to when she gets pregnant you know, we always say a due date and if she goes

past that due date , we say the baby is overdue. Because the baby was expected to

arrive by a certain date. Okay. Let's continue here. Your payment is overdue. If

you don't pay it by by the 10th the electric company will turn off your

power. Power here means electricity. So again we definitely use it for bills.

Bills will be overdue. If they haven't been done by that certain date. Okay. The next

one. Your membership will expire in two days. So remember , membership,

membership is really a type of a contract. So we also say with contracts

you know, they end they expire in two days if you don't renew. Renew, of course

that means you're basically signing a new contract to extend it. All right. Let's

continue. The date on this coupon is expired and can no longer be used. Okay.

Well you know, it's also kind of a document in a way or you know it's

something they can no longer be used past a certain date. So we say that it

expired. Yeah. Let's continue. The driver's

license will expire on your birthday. Yeah . In the u.s. they often have that.

They always go by the people's birthdate again. So you have to renew by your birth date

again. You know, every four years or ten years or however long you, you would

extend your driver's license for. Okay. Good. All right. And the last one here.

The date on this bottle of Medicine expired two years ago. So in other words, it

shouldn't be used after this date. Perhaps you shouldn't use it. Okay. I hope

this is clear. I hope it was informative. I hope you got a much better feel now of when

you should use expire and when you should use overdo. Okay. Thank you for

your time. Bye-bye.
