Indeed, it's more common to say "backwards" first! (7:15) On YouGlish, you'll hear one example of "forwards and backwards," but the other examples use "backwards and forwards." youglish.com/search/know%20it%20forwards%20and%20backwards?

Hi Jennifer, this is another useful lesson, which is very important to know. I noticed that when we consider two or three words as one we hyphenate them like back-and-forth, but when we deal with them as separate words we don't put a hyphen. If these expressions come before nouns, which means they describe the nouns that come after them,should I hyphenate them ? For example up-and-down business By the way there is a common expression which is up-to-date.

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Good to observe the punctuation. Many hyphenate the phrases if they're used as a noun: I need more give-and-take. We also tend to hyphenate the phrases when they're used an an adjective before a noun: It was kind of touch-and-go situation. VS. It was kind of touch and go. Those are the patterns I see. Then again, most of these will be used in conversation, so you won't have to worry about punctuation. ;)

The person on the phone claimed I could be rich by simply paying a small registration fee to some totally unknown company. Alarm bells started ringing as I didn't want to be lead on a right merry dance by those who take us right down the garden path and drag us from pillar to post. Those people would have you not knowing whether you are coming or going and would happily bleed you dry. Once in a blue moon I am taken in by them; however, I can normally read them like a book and usually see right through their rhetoric. I always remember that old adage that 'it's better to be safe than sorry' and have learnt to take all 'get rich schemes' with the proverbial pinch of salt. If something appears too good to be true then it always is. We saw come useful collocations in that paragraph. Most of the examples shown were idioms; with some proverbs and phrasal verbs also: 'Alarm bells ringing' (idiom) Sensing danger. 'lead on a right merry dance' (idiom) - This basically means your life is being made difficult by someone's lies. 'taken right down the garden path' (idiom) Lied to in an elaborate fashion. 'drag from pillar to post' (idiom) Being sent to different locations in quick succession. 'to have you not knowing whether you are coming or going' (idiom) Being uncertain of what is going on or what you are meant to be doing. 'bleed you dry' (idiom) Take all your money or assets. 'Once in a blue moon' (idiom) Very rarely. 'taken in' (phrasal verb) Believed a lie 'Read them like a book' (idiom) Seeing someone for the kind of person they really are. 'see right through them' (idiom) Seeing someone for the kind of person they really are. 'It's better to be safe than sorry' (proverb) Being safe may be boring but taking a chance is risky. Risks can bring sorrow. 'Taking something with a pinch of salt' (idiom) Being skeptical. 'If something appears too good to be true, then it always is' (proverb) Common sense tells us that unlikely things simply don't happen.

I have seen some teachers lump all those areas of English into one lesson, but each deserve their own lesson. I think lumping them altogether makes it a bit confusing and has the students not knowing whether they're coming or going. :>)

1. My boyfriend said that it was touch and go whether he would like to pick up me. 2. When many back and forth occur, I decide to do what I love to do. 3. If you want to know inside and out about this phenomenon, just read the book that I've given to you. THANKS!

I'm glad you're practicing. :) You have the basic understanding of each expression. Suggestions/comments: 1. "Touch and go" is more than uncertain. There's also a lot of risk. So perhaps your friend wants to pick up up at some point along the road, but there's heavy traffic, and stopping is dangerous for drivers and pedestrians there: My friend has been trying to pick me up after work, but my office is on a busy street. It's been touch and go. Some days he can pull over long enough for me to jump in. Other times, I have to meet him on a less busy street. Also note that "touch and go" usually refers to a period of time, and that whole period was a period of uncertainty and danger. 2. "Back-and-forth" is the same as "discussion." Suggestion: When there is a lot of back-and-forth with my friends, we sometimes find a compromise, but other times we each decide to do things separately the way we each want. 3. If you want to know this phenomenon inside and out, just read the book I gave you. (Omit "about.")

I like to sit in a rocking chair. The rocking back And forth relaxes me a lot....I was dating a girl but I decided to stop it. The ups and downs in our relationship was becoming a vicious circle.

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Luis. Good to note that "back and forth" can have a literal meaning: rock back and forth. I rock back and forth in the rocking chair. But as a noun meaning "discussion," it's hyphenated: There was some back-and-forth, but then we both agreed to stop dating. Hope the second example isn't based on reality! :( Suggestion: The ups and downs in our relationship were becoming a vicious cycle.

This is Neeraj from India ,,,,, with a request ,,I would like to ask a couple of questions ,,,,,,, what is the difference between ( the Manager and the principal are coming). Second one is (The manager and the principal is coming) and which verb is suitable. For the sentence (the tea and breakfast is prepared by the mother)) I'm confused,,,,, could you please enlighten me

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Correct: The manager and the principal are coming/ The principal and the manager are coming. Compound subjects need a plural verb: Susan and Ali are students. Exception: If you see the items as one unit, then it can be considered a singular noun. >> His favorite breakfast IS bacon and eggs. / Bacon and eggs IS what he eats every morning. (bacon and eggs = one meal)

Hi. Yes, I'm from the US. I'm American. There's no official language. English is considered the main language by many, but we have speakers of other languages in very high numbers. Hawaii is one state that has officially chosen its official languages (more than one).

bfore starting the business we should know inside and out any relation can't go head without give and take the condition of congress paty can be touch and go

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Good practice! Suggestions: Before starting the business, we should know it inside and out. No relationship can go on without give and take. The state of congress can be touch and go. Sometimes they make progress; other times they can't agree on anything.

• In every marriage, one should give-and-take, so that the other partner does not feel unsatisfied. • If you do this every now and then, wait and see how things will turn out.

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Ra'ed. Thanks for sharing your examples. :) Note: "Give-and-take" is hyphenated if used as a noun. If you use them as a verb pair, you don't need the hyphens. Suggestions: In every marriage, there should be give-and-take, so that neither partner feels unsatisfied. In every marriage, partners need to give and take, so that neither one feels unsatisfied. I like the combo in the second example. Clever! Take care. See you on Simor later. :)

By the way i didn't want to hurt u, the problem is that your face took big place on the screen, not about your beauty or something :)
