Today’s sentence Hi. How’s it going? We have been studying uses of the verb turn. However, turn is also a noun… I’m afraid he’s taken a turn for the worse. Notes To take a turn for the worse means to become worse. It’s the sort of thing a doctor would say about a patient whose health has deteriorated. He was ill. Now he’s even more ill. He’s taken a turn for the worse. It can also be used to describe behaviour. E.g. Jim’s attitude has taken a turn for the worse. (He used to be fairly pleasant but now he is always angry and rude.) And there you have it…tune in tomorrow for another meaning of turn. Bye! Search Linguagum for more English tips, check out our very useful links and our shop!

Today’s sentence Hi. How are you? We’re starting a new series today – film genres. There are many different film genres. Notes Genre means type. It can be used for films or literature. For example, Film Noir is a film genre. It is one particular category of film. It’s quite a formal word – you are most likely to use it in an academic context. Informally you would probably just say, for example, “what kind of films do you like?” I hope that was useful. We’ll continue with this theme tomorrow. See you!

Today’s sentence Hi! Welcome back to the series on cooking. Could you stir the soup? Notes Stir the soup. This means: “put a spoon in the soup and turn the spoon in circles to stop it from burning.” Another thing you would stir is a stir fry. This is when you put chopped vegetables in a large frying pan (or a wok) and fry them quickly while you stir them (move them around in the pan.) Hope that was useful. We’ll look at another one tomorrow. Search Linguagum for more English tips, check out our very useful links and our shop! And please, tell us what you think of us!
