Hello everybody! My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day.
Come on! Let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression!
Today's broadcast is brought to you by you, the listener, just for listening.
I'm making you this podcast!
Thank you so much. Today's expression is, Let's get started already!
What's today's expression already?
Come on already! Hurry up already!
Did you hear today's expression?
Sometimes, at the end of a sentence, or at the end of a question, we add the word, ALREADY Just the one word. Not the two words ALREADY but the one word ALREADY.
The pronunciation is the same.
So, what does it mean?
Well, let me give you an example.
HURRY UP ALREADY So, hurry up means do something quickly.
And if we add the adverb already to the end, it means hurry hurry hurry, you should already have done it or have started.
So, hurry up already is emphasizing you to hurry up.
What's your question already?
Please tell me your question.
Quit talking about something else and give me your question.
Hurry up already. Come on.
I'm busy. I can't continue to wait.
So if you are in a hurry, if somebody should have already begun something, then you can add already to the end of your statement or your question.
Does that make sense?
Well, let's listen to a dialogue already.
Ahh... where's my fried chicken already?
I ordered 30 minutes ago.
Here's your order, sir.
I thought you forgot about me.
With your beautiful voice?
How could I? There you go.
So this is a great example.
You go to a restaurant and you order your food, but you keep waiting and waiting and waiting.
Where is the food? It should already be here.
Where is my food already?
Where is my fried chicken already?
So as you can see, the person added already and basically he's complaining.
Do you understand? So, I have a set time that I release this podcast. So, for me, it's every night at 10 p .m. I publish a new podcast. But I worry someday, maybe, in the future, I might forget or I might be late in that situation.
You could say Where is Shane's podcast?
Already. It should already be here.
Where is it? I'm waiting hurry up Got it Okay, I promise I'll do my best not to be late.
Oh, it's not easy. It's not easy every day no holiday Let's listen to the dialog two more times.
Ah, where's my fried chicken already?
I ordered 30 minutes ago.
Here's your order, sir.
I thought you forgot about me.
With your beautiful voice, how could I?
Ah, where's my fried chicken already?
I ordered 30 minutes ago.
So here's your order, sir.
I thought you forgot about me.
With your beautiful voice, how could I.
So once again, everybody, today's sponsor is YOU.
Everybody who's listening, I just want to say THANK YOU.
It means so much. You listening to this podcast encourages me to keep making it, and I'll do my best. So goodbye already, have a nice day already!
