Eight friends want a weekend away. Finding a place is easy. Finding a date? The group chat has been going for three weeks. 📍a tall order — something that is very difficult to do or arrange. ▪️ Finding a weekend when all eight of us are free is A TALL ORDER. “Tall” isn’t about height here. The task asks a lot of you. It may still be possible — just don’t expect it to be easy. @enfol

It's November. Your friend opens the window. You’re already wearing two jumpers. 📍I’d rather you didn’t — a softer way to say “I don’t want you to do that”. ▪️ I’D RATHER YOU DIDN’T open the window. It’s cold in here. After “I’d rather” + another person, use the past simple: you didn’t, she stayed, they came. The form looks past, but the wish is about now or later. Here, “didn’t” does not mean the window stayed closed yesterday. It means: please don’t open it now. @enfol

Over the weekend, a DOUBLE WATERSPOUT appeared near the famous Faraglioni rocks off the Italian island of Capri. 🌪️ Two spinning funnels came down from dark clouds to the sea. On camera, they looked like they were hugging the rocks. No one was hurt. A WATERSPOUT is a tornado over water. The word has a surprise: it can also mean the pipe that rain water runs out of. That’s why the spider in the old children’s song climbs up the waterspout. 🕷️ 📍waterspout /ˈwɔːtərspaʊt/ — 1) a tornado over water; 2) a pipe that rain water runs out of ▪️ People on the boat saw a WATERSPOUT and quickly turned back to the port. Would you watch one from the beach — or run? @enfol

to sign off (on) Your boss has to agree before the work can start. Two ways to say it: 📝 A) The manager needs to sign the budget off. (British) B) The manager needs to sign off on the budget. (American) 📍to sign something off / to sign off on something — to give official approval ▪️ We can't order anything until she SIGNS OFF ON it. Which one do you hear more often — A or B? 🤔 @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

Every home has one: the sock that always loses its pair, the printer that never works when you need it. 🧦 Last time it was a boon. Today, its opposite. 📍the bane of my life /beɪn/ — the thing that annoys you again and again and makes life harder ▪️ That printer is THE BANE OF MY LIFE — it stops every single morning. 🖨️ Bane almost always comes in this pattern: the bane of my life, the bane of my existence, the bane of every student's life. On its own, a bane sounds old and bookish. The two often meet in one phrase: Phones can be a boon and a bane. ⚖️ @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

There are two short opposites in English that sound almost the same: a bane and a boon. 🔤 One ruins your day, the other saves it. 📍a boon /buːn/ — something that helps a lot and makes life easier ▪️ The late bus on Sundays is a real BOON for everyone working weekends. 🚌 It is a positive word only, and it often comes with for or to: a boon for students, a boon to small shops. Boon is a noun only: something IS A BOON, but it never "boons". What small thing has been a boon in your week? Next time: bane, the one that ruins your day. 😈 @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

Your friend opens a small café. ☕ You don't just say good luck — you tell everyone, you help with the tables, you bring people in. 📍to throw your weight behind something — to support it with all your power and influence ▪️ The whole team THREW THEIR WEIGHT BEHIND her plan. 🙌 Note the form: the weight belongs to the subject — he threw his weight behind it, they threw their weight behind it. @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

a dearth of One idea, two levels. 📄 Formal: There is a DEARTH OF affordable flats in the city. Casual: There aren't enough cheap flats here. 💬 📍a dearth of something /dɜːθ/ — too little of something; very few of them Dearth belongs to reports, articles and formal speech. With friends, say not enough or a shortage of. ▪️ The report noted a DEARTH OF young teachers. It rhymes with earth. @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

A shop that a family owns is a FAMILY-OWNED shop. Two words, one hyphen — and a whole clause disappears. 🏪 English builds adjectives like this every day: a noun plus a past participle. 📍battery-powered — powered by a battery ▪️ The kids got a BATTERY-POWERED toy car. 🚗 📍home-cooked — cooked at home ▪️ Nothing beats a HOME-COOKED meal after a long trip. 🍲 📍snow-covered — covered with snow ▪️ We drove slowly along the SNOW-COVERED road. Two rules: keep the hyphen when the adjective stands before the noun, and never add -s to the first part — a family-owned shop, not families-owned. Try one yourself: how would you describe a scarf that someone made by hand? @ohliad @svitohliad @...

Even native speakers get this one wrong. 💥 ❌ The storm wrecked havoc on the town. ✅ The storm wreaked havoc on the town. Why the mistake? Wreck means "to destroy", so it feels logical. But the phrase uses a different, old verb — wreak. It sounds like week, not like wreck. 📍to wreak havoc /riːk ˈhævək/ — to cause a lot of damage and confusion ▪️ Our new puppy WREAKED HAVOC in the kitchen. One more trap: havoc takes no article. Not a havoc — just havoc. @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

I haven't got time for a coffee, let alone a whole lunch. ☕ Let alone joins two things in a negative sentence. The first one is small and ordinary. The second is bigger — and even further out of reach. 📍let alone — and certainly not ▪️ The baby can't sit up yet, LET ALONE walk. 👶 Two rules keep it right. 1️⃣The sentence before it must be negative. 2️⃣Both parts must match: a noun after a noun, a verb after a verb — a whole lunch after a coffee, walk after sit up. ❌ I can swim, let alone dive. ✅ I can't swim, LET ALONE dive. @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

Two sports words, one idea: success. 🎩⚾ A hat trick is three wins, one after another. It comes from cricket, where a player who did this could get a new hat. In football, it's three goals by one player in one game. A home run is one big, clear success. It comes from baseball, so it sounds very American. 📍a hat trick — three successes, one after another ▪️ She passed her driving test, found a flat and got a new job in one month. A real HAT TRICK! 📍a home run — a big success ▪️ Your birthday cake was a HOME RUN — everyone wanted more. Which one would you use about your own week? @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol

daunting vs daunted ❌ I was daunting by the exam. ✅ I was DAUNTED by the exam. 😰 The -ing form describes the thing. The -ed form describes the person. It works exactly like boring and bored. 📍daunting — making you feel that something is too big or too difficult ▪️ The first week in a new job can be DAUNTING. 📍daunted — feeling that something is too difficult for you ▪️ Don't be DAUNTED by the long list — start with one item. Which job on your list looks most daunting right now? @ohliad @svitohliad @enfol
