I wanted to help you learn the English phrase out of sight.
1
1401
3370
00:05
You can see this right now, but now it's out of sight.
2
5071
2736
00:08
It literally means what it says when you can't see something.
3
8108
4037
00:12
It is out of sight.
4
12445
1669
00:14
Often people who are doing something illegal, they try to do it out of sight
5
14114
4037
00:18
or if they're carrying something illegal and they see the cops,
6
18451
3203
00:21
they'll put it out of sight.
7
21654
1435
00:23
They'll put it in their pocket, in their back pocket, or they'll stick it in a bag.
8
23089
3804
00:27
They'll put it out of sight.
9
27127
2102
00:29
So that the police officers can't see it.
10
29229
3203
00:32
So it's a very simple phrase.
11
32665
1535
00:34
It simply means to put something where someone can't see it
12
34200
3871
00:38
or to put yourself where someone can't see you.
13
38071
2569
00:40
I can even be out of sight if I want.
14
40673
3871
00:44
When I duck down, I'm out of sight.
15
44778
2135
00:46
The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase line of sight.
16
46913
3537
00:50
So line of sight is an imaginary line
17
50784
3203
00:53
between my eyes and what I'm looking at.
18
53987
2602
00:57
So between myself and the camera, this is my current line of sight.
19
57290
4738
01:02
When I'm sitting in my classroom at the back and a student’s
20
62328
3204
01:05
doing a presentation.
21
65532
1568
01:07
If another student sits in front of me, they're in my line of sight.
22
67100
4104
01:11
I'm not able to see the person at the front.
23
71204
2469
01:13
So it's simply an invisible line.
24
73873
1735
01:15
If I look at that car driving by.
25
75608
2269
01:18
It's in my line of sight.
26
78144
1669
01:19
I'm able to see them.
27
79813
1501
01:21
So to review when something is out of sight, it means you simply can't see it.
28
81314
4304
01:25
And when you talk about your line of sight,
29
85852
2469
01:28
it's the imaginary line between you and the thing that you're looking at.

01:33
But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
31
93927
2736
01:37
This comment is from
32
97263
1602
01:41
Shuvra.
33
101067
834
01:41
Thanks, sir.
34
101901
1068
01:42
Yes, you should have brought your sunglasses.
35
102969
2603
01:45
And then my response next time!
36
105572
2035
01:47
You can see I'm wearing them right now.
37
107607
2536
01:50
So thanks for that comment.
38
110443
1101
01:51
I did remember them.
39
111544
968
01:52
I did find them back they were actually in my van.
40
112512
2903
01:55
They were kind of between the seats
41
115682
2869
01:59
Sorry it's really windy out here.
42
119552
1435
02:00
They were between the seats and they were kind of covered with some stuff.
43
120987
3604
02:04
Hey, I'm not going to walk around today because it is extremely windy.
44
124924
5673
02:10
You saw just there. I got blown a little bit.
45
130830
2536
02:13
If we turn this way, you can see the tree moving in the wind.
46
133399
5506
02:19
So I'm going to just stand and talk in one spot.
47
139272
3403
02:23
It's very gusty.
48
143276
1802
02:25
I don't know if you know what the word gusty means.
49
145078
2135
02:27
When it's gusty outside, it means the wind is blowing
50
147814
3070
02:31
and it speeds up every once in a while.
51
151317
2603
02:33
So as I was sitting in the house, I thought I could make this English
52
153920
4771
02:38
lesson inside or I could just go outside with my good camera,
53
158691
4171
02:43
with my really big wind protected microphone.
54
163096
3303
02:46
I've never shown you that have I?
55
166966
1335
02:48
I'll take a picture of this tripod when I go back inside
56
168301
3604
02:51
so that you can see it.
57
171905
1468
02:53
But it is windy today.
58
173373
2135
02:55
Let's turn this way
59
175808
1235
02:58
and then maybe you can see a little bit.
60
178578
2269
03:01
I can't help but show you things.
61
181881
2102
03:03
That tree is moving.
62
183983
1001
03:04
But even though there are no leaves on it, that tree is still moving
63
184984
4471
03:09
quite a bit in the wind.
64
189522
1368
03:10
So anyways, too windy to make a video, but I'm out here anyways.
65
190890
4204
03:15
By the way, speaking of weather it's supposed to get super cold here,
66
195395
4504
03:20
wait for it.
67
200233
801
03:21
I'm going to tell you what the temperature is going to be tonight.
68
201034
3203
03:24
Drum roll, please.
69
204537
4605
03:29
-22 degrees Celsius tonight, Friday night, the same -20, -25.
70
209142
5806
03:35
Extremely cold weather.
71
215281
1802
03:37
It's actually dangerous to go outside when it's that cold.
72
217083
2836
03:39
So I don't go outside at night anyways.
73
219919
2536
03:42
I sleep in my nice cozy bed inside my house,
74
222455
2503
03:44
but it's going to get super cold here.
75
224958
1868
03:46
I’m kind of looking forward to it. That's kind of cool.
76
226826
2102
03:48
Anyways, see you in a couple days with another short English lesson bye.
77
228928
4638
03:53
Whoa!! Just kidding.
