So today I wanted to help you learn
0
400
2240
00:02
the English phrase, "Carry on."
1
2640
2640
00:05
This has a number of meanings, I'll go over two of them.
2
5280
3510
00:08
One meaning is simply to continue doing something,
3
8790
2590
00:11
so I'm going to carry on making YouTube videos
4
11380
3030
00:14
for all of you.
5
14410
930
00:15
I think you should carry on learning English this summer.
6
15340
3180
00:18
It basically just means that you're going
7
18520
1990
00:20
to keep doing something.
8
20510
1960
00:22
But you could also use it to talk about someone
9
22470
2061
00:24
who just keeps complaining and won't stop.
10
24531
2499
00:27
You could say, "Ah, they just keep carrying on.
11
27030
2367
00:29
"I wish they wouldn't carry on so much when they talk
12
29397
2650
00:32
"about their job or when they talk about their family."
13
32047
2683
00:34
So it has a number of different meanings.
14
34730
2280
00:37
As I said, the first, if you carry on,
15
37010
2510
00:39
it means that you continue doing something.
16
39520
2180
00:41
And the second, it is used to describe someone
17
41700
2940
00:44
who just won't stop complaining
18
44640
2380
00:47
or won't stop doing something.
19
47020
1510
00:48
So for instance, sometimes I talk to one of my colleagues
20
48530
4170
00:52
at work and they tend to carry on a little bit,
21
52700
2670
00:55
they tend to complain a little bit
22
55370
2140
00:57
when they talk about the job that we do.
23
57510
2470
00:59
And then I have another English phrase here, "Carry out."
24
59980
3640
01:03
This has a couple meanings as well.
25
63620
1760
01:05
I'm just going to go over the one meaning,
26
65380
2300
01:07
which means that you do something.
27
67680
1810
01:09
So if you have a plan, you can carry out the plan.
28
69490
3740
01:13
If you want to get something done
29
73230
2400
01:15
and you decide how you're going to do it
30
75630
2530
01:18
then you carry out the plan that you have made.
31
78160
3130
01:21
Sometimes you'll see this in a movie or TV show
32
81290
2370
01:23
where thieves have a plan and then they carry out the plan.
33
83660
3760
01:27
And then I think normally you would put
34
87420
2170
01:29
a dash between carry and out,
35
89590
2050
01:31
but when you go and get food from a restaurant and eat it
36
91640
3150
01:34
at home, in English we sometimes call that carry out.
37
94790
3050
01:37
So you could say, "Oh I'm gonna just get
38
97840
1897
01:39
"some carry out tonight."
39
99737
1103
01:40
So you might go to a restaurant and get some food
40
100840
2510
01:43
and then take it home and eat it.
41
103350
1410
01:44
Most restaurants in Ontario right now
42
104760
2560
01:47
are only serving carry out.
43
107320
1450
01:48
Anyways, Bob the Canadian here,
44
108770
1500
01:50
it's a beautiful Friday, hope you're having a good day.
45
110270
2310
01:52
