Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the Easy English Expressions, the Budgees.
We have a great phrasal verb.
Oh yeah, to trudge through.
To trudge through.
Do you know how to spell it?
First word, trudge.
TRUDGE.
One more time, TRUDGE.
Pronunciation, trudge.
Trudge.
To trudge through.
Through.
THROUGH.
Okay, that one's not too bad.
Detect that.
Detect it.
To trudge through is a fantastic phrasal verb when you are doing something that is not
easy or it's too boring or it's so difficult, but you have to do it, but you're really slow.
Yeah, that's the idea.
Imagine you are walking home, but there's no road, there's no sidewalk.
You're walking through mud, M-U-D.
It's been raining and the ground is soft and it's just terrible and the mud is deep.
It's six inches.
What's that?
15 centimeters deep and it's one step.
Oh, and it's tough.
You got to pick your foot up.
It's not easy.
You're walking through the mud.
That is the idea to trudge through.
You have to go to the end, but it's very slow and it's very difficult and it's miserable
and you don't like it.
This is the idea of trudging through.
So how do we use it in regular daily English?
I got the perfect example.
Here we go.
How's it going?
I'm still trudging through this book.
When's the test?
Monday.
Yeah, I don't have any more tests.
I'm old, but my sons, you know, when they go to school, they're going to have lots of
tests to take.
Maybe you do professional tests or maybe you're in college or high school or something
and you still have to take tests.
Yeah, sometimes those books that we have to read in order to study for the test, sometimes
they are boring and sometimes they are difficult and sometimes you read a page and after you're
in college, you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page
and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're
going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to
have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to
read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a
page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and
you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going
to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to
read a page and you're going to have to read a page and you're going to have to read a page and
you're going to have to be looking at my financial records, I have to talk to my accountant,
I have, you know, and I trudge through it. When I do my lessons, I never trudge through it.
I love creating lessons, I love making the lessons but when I do the business side,
I just trudge through it. I have to do it, I have to finish things, I have to talk to
people, I don't want to, I hate it. I just want to teach English man.
