Easy English Expression, rehashed.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hey, everybody.
Constance here.
How are you?
Are you pretty beat?
That's our expression today.
Pretty beat.
Here's EQ number 270.
Enjoy.
Let's go back in time.
Today I put together a few bookcases, moved books around.
I'm telling you, books can be really heavy.
I'm pretty beat.
I am pretty beat.
That is today's expression.
I am pretty, P-R-E-T-T-Y, pretty beat, B-E-A-T.
Now, pretty is an interesting word.
If you look in the dictionary, Of course, the first definition is something like beautiful.
But the second definition would be a little.
Kind of.
But sometimes pretty can mean a lot.
I know.
Sometimes it means a little.
Sometimes it means a lot.
How do we know which is which?
The context of the situation.
You have to understand that.
So, for example, today the temperature outside is 41 degrees Celsius.
Not where I live, but maybe somewhere.
Is that hot?
Oh, that's pretty hot.
That's pretty hot.
In this case, of course, pretty means very.
Okay?
Okay?
So if you go to buy a sandwich, a sandwich at McDonald's and regular hamburger is 1 and the cheeseburger is 125.
Oh, that's pretty expensive.
That's a little expensive.
That's the idea.
So it's not too much more but a little bit more expensive.
So anyway, pretty beat, B-E-A-T.
Now beat means you are tired.
It's like somebody – was beating your body and you're very tired and perhaps even sore.
So, especially after doing something very strenuous, something that took lots of work, like putting together bookshelves and moving books around, or chopping down trees, or shopping for five hours,
Those types of activities will make you pretty beat.
Cycling, running, exercising.
After you're done, you can say, I'm pretty beat.
Let's check out a dialogue.
Let's play another game.
I'm pretty beat.
You're tired from playing tic-tac-toe?
It takes a lot of concentration.
Yes, physically, you can be pretty beat.
But mentally, you can be pretty beat too.
Such a useful expression.
Did you understand the conversation?
Those guys were playing tic-tac-toe.
Do you know that game?
You can do a Google search.
T-I-C-T-A-C-T-O-E.
It's the XOXOXO game.
You try to get three X's or three O's.
Yeah.
It takes a lot of concentration.
What?
Anyway, that is today's expression.
I hope after listening to today's expression, you're not pretty beat.
I hope you're feeling well.
Listen to the dialogue two more times.
Check it out.
Let's play another game.
I'm pretty beat.
You're tired from playing tic-tac-toe?
It takes a lot of concentration.
Let's play another game.
