Learn the English Phrases "to pull out" and "to pull through"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help

you learn the English phrase to pull out.

Now, this has a number of different meanings,

but the meaning I wanted to focus on

today means to withdraw from something.

So let's say you signed up to play in a

badminton tournament and the tournament is in two weeks, but

at the last minute, you might decide to pull out.

You might decide to withdraw your registration for that

tournament, you might decide not to do it.

So in that sense, to pull out can

mean to decide not to do something.

This also is used to describe things like

when a country invades another country, eventually that

country might decide to pull out.

So if one country sends soldiers into another

country, they might decide to withdraw, they might

decide to pull out of that country.

So it has a couple of different meanings, but

that's the meaning I wanted to focus on today.

To withdraw or to decide not to do something.

The second phrase I wanted to teach

you today is to pull through.

Now, this is a very serious phrase.

We use it to talk about when someone gets injured.

And when we say they're going to pull

through, it means that they're going to survive.

So it's something you talk about after

someone has a really bad car accident.

You might say, oh, Joe had a really bad car accident.

He's very badly injured, but he will pull through.

That means that the doctors think that he

will heal the, they'll probably do some surgeries

or something to help him feel better.

But when you say someone is going to pull through,

it's used to describe a serious situation where someone was

hurt and they're not going to die, they're going to

get better, they're going to pull through.

So to review, to pull out means to withdraw

or decide, or to decide not to do something.

And to pull through means that you were hurt very,

very badly, but, but you're going to get better.

So if you were in a car accident and someone

said, oh, he was injured badly, but he's going to

pull through, it means you're going to get better.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

This comment is from know that. Hello, Bob.

So do you have special clothes for working on

your farm, like overalls or something like that?

Or do you just use some of your old shirts and pants?

By the way, that reminds me of something you mentioned once,

that you don't like it when your dogs jump on you

in the morning because you don't want your school clothes to

get dirty and then you have to change again.

Thanks for the new lesson. Bob. Have a great day.

And my response? That is correct.

I have different clothes for the farm.

They are a collection of older

clothes and specific farm clothes.

Sometimes I wear older jeans that aren't good

to wear in public anymore on the farm.

So, yeah, that's a good question.

I talk about school clothes and farm

clothes, like, without really explaining it.

I've just used those terms before.

But yes, I do have different clothes.

So on a day like this, when I come

home, I just come outside in my school clothes.

I call these my school clothes to

make a quick video for you.

But then I will change into my farm clothes later

because I have to, I have to help Jen do

a few things out here in the flower field.

So, yes, my farm clothes, I have a few specific things.

Like, I have really good work boots

that I use on the farm.

I have, most of my t shirts are just old

t shirts that I don't wear out in public anymore.

And most of my pants are just

old jeans that I don't wear.

Maybe they have a little hole in them or something.

But Jen and I also have long sleeved

sun shirts, special shirts that you can wear.

They're a very thin material, but they're nice to wear

out on the farm so that you don't get sunburnt.

Because I sunburn fairly easily.

But I'm not sure if you've seen the farm.

So I'll give you a look.

Let me spin you around so you can

see things are quite green out here.

Mostly the green is just from the grass, from the lawn.

But we do have some things starting to grow.

But we're still a few weeks away from going to market.

We'll probably start going to market at the end of May.

We'll have a few flowers and

then the season will start again.

Should be pretty exciting.

I'm looking forward to it. Anyways, thanks for watching.

I'll see you in a couple of

days with another short English lesson. Bye.
