the English phrase to put something behind you.
1
2760
2670
00:05
In English, when you put something behind you,
2
5430
2310
00:07
you can physically put it behind you,
3
7740
2650
00:10
but that's not what I'm here to teach you today.
4
10390
2620
00:13
The meaning of the phrase I wanna teach you today,
5
13010
2290
00:15
it means to forget about something.
6
15300
2280
00:17
So when you put something behind you,
7
17580
1830
00:19
it means you don't think about it anymore.
8
19410
2220
00:21
I think the year 2020 is a great example of this.
9
21630
3440
00:25
I can't wait to put the year 2020 behind me.
10
25070
4290
00:29
So when you put something behind you,
11
29360
1820
00:31
it means that you try to forget about it.
12
31180
1950
00:33
You try not to think about it anymore.
13
33130
2190
00:35
There were some really good parts to the year 2020,
14
35320
2880
00:38
but there were also some parts of the year 2020
15
38200
2470
00:40
that I would just like to put behind me and forget about.
16
40670
3690
00:44
The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is
17
44360
2170
00:46
the phrase to put up with.
18
46530
1890
00:48
When you put up with someone,
19
48420
2670
00:51
it means that, even though they are annoying,
20
51090
2870
00:53
you try to still be nice to them,
21
53960
2470
00:56
and you try to still work with them
22
56430
1850
00:58
if you're working with them.
23
58280
1670
00:59
Sometimes, you will have this with young children.
24
59950
2430
01:02
Sometimes, young children complain a lot,
25
62380
2410
01:04
and they get upset, and it's just a situation
26
64790
2650
01:07
where you just need to put up with them.
27
67440
2710
01:10
You just have to be patient.
28
70150
1770
01:11
You just have to be kind,
29
71920
1500
01:13
and even though they might be really upset about something,
30
73420
3250
01:16
maybe they want candy, and when you don't give it to them,
31
76670
2820
01:19
they start to cry and yell.
32
79490
2040
01:21
At that point in time, you just have to put up with them.
33
81530
2460
01:23
So to review the first phrase to put something behind you
34
83990
4720
01:28
simply means to forget about something in the past
35
88710
3460
01:32
or to not think about it anymore,
36
92170
2510
01:34
and to put up with someone means
37
94680
1940
01:36
that you are just patient and kind with them,
38
96620
2810
01:39
even though they might be a little bit annoying.

Hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
40
102760
3380
01:46
This comment is from Bahare,
41
106140
2430
01:48
and the comment is this.
42
108570
1070
01:49
Hi, your boots are really cool,
43
109640
2560
01:52
and I replied by saying I like them a lot.
44
112200
2320
01:54
They were 50% off.
45
114520
1750
01:56
I couldn't believe my luck that they still had my size.
46
116270
3300
01:59
So let's talk a little bit about buying things in English.
47
119570
3100
02:02
First of all, do you wanna see my boots again?
48
122670
2353
02:06
I went to a store called Canadian Tire,
49
126760
3130
02:09
which actually sells a lot more than just tires,
50
129890
2760
02:12
to look for a new pair of winter boots,
51
132650
1730
02:14
and I was happy because when I got to the aisle
52
134380
2690
02:17
where they had boots, there were two pairs of boots
53
137070
2110
02:19
that were on sale, and they were both 50% off.
54
139180
3110
02:22
They were both $100 on sale for $50.
55
142290
3600
02:25
So I was really excited.
56
145890
1350
02:27
The first pair, though, I tried.
57
147240
1680
02:28
I like to buy a size 10.
58
148920
2490
02:31
My feet are size nine, but when I buy winter boots,
59
151410
2720
02:34
I like to buy one size bigger
60
154130
2130
02:36
so that I can wear bigger socks
61
156260
1830
02:38
or double socks in the winter.
62
158090
1713
02:40
So the first pair I tried on,
63
160840
1630
02:42
they only had size nine and size 11.
64
162470
1950
02:44
They didn't have it in my size.
65
164420
1530
02:45
They didn't have that boot in my size.
66
165950
2230
02:48
So I was a little bit disappointed,
67
168180
1530
02:49
but then I checked, and the other pair that was on sale,
68
169710
3910
02:53
they actually had a size 10.
69
173620
1380
02:55
I tried it on.
70
175000
1190
02:56
I tried the other one on.
71
176190
1640
02:57
I walked around the store for a little bit,
72
177830
2170
03:00
just up and down the shoe aisle,
73
180000
2260
03:02
and I decided that they were very comfortable
74
182260
2830
03:05
and that I really liked them.
75
185090
980
03:06
So I was really happy because they were 50% off.
76
186070
2790
03:08
I was also happy that they still had a pair in my size
77
188860
3700
03:12
because, in Canada,
78
192560
2070
03:14
in December when winter boots go on sale,
79
194630
3020
03:17
you have to get them quickly
80
197650
1460
03:19
because people scoop them up really fast.
81
199110
2830
03:21
Winter boots usually don't go on sale
82
201940
2280
03:24
until about December, January, but when they do go on sale,
83
204220
3470
03:27
you have to get a pair right away
84
207690
2070
03:29
because they fly off the shelves.
85
209760
2150
03:31
So I've used a bunch of phrases there
86
211910
1590
03:33
to talk about buying boots.
87
213500
2510
03:36
I'm just really happy that I got new boots.
88
216010
2130
03:38
My old boots actually have a hole in the top,
89
218140
2800
03:40
and then snow gets on the top,
90
220940
1670
03:42
and then when I go in the house, it melts,
91
222610
1840
03:44
and then the inside of my boot gets all wet,
92
224450
2110
03:46
and it's just not very pleasant.
93
226560
1470
03:48
Even when I'm outside, snow goes in, and it melts,
94
228030
2670
03:50
and that's just not really good.
95
230700
1090
03:51
So anyways, thanks for watchin'.
96
231790
1830
03:53
Bob, the Canadian here.
97
233620
1250
03:54
Happy new year.
