the doubt and that just means um to choose to  believe someone's explanation without immediate  

judgment I'm not judging I'm going to believe  you even if you're unsure you're not sure but  

you're going to you're going to believe them  anyway that is giving someone the benefit of the  

doubt all right I'm going to give you an example  sentence and I want you to listen carefully and  

try to repeat it Olivia decided to give Sophie  the benefit of the D out instead of assuming the

worst all right I'll say it again  Olivia decided to give Sophie the  

benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the

time Olivia decided to give Sophie the benefit  of the doubt instead of assuming the worst  

all right our next word is assume and that is  to think something is true without having all  

the facts you just assume it's true  you think it's true you don't have  

the facts but you decide that it's true all  right here's our sentence listen carefully

again Sophie withdrew from her friends because  she didn't want to talk about her family

Olivia didn't want to confront Sophie with  accusations before hearing her side of the

story Bolivia didn't want to confront Sophie  with accusations before hearing her side of the

story Olivia did want to confront Sophie with  accusations before hearing her side of the  

story so Olivia wanted to hear Sophie's side  of the story first before she started making  

accusations but say that again Olivia didn't want  to confront Sophie with accusations before hearing

Embrace someone in order to end an argument or  resolve a conflict so you you give each other  

a hug and you say this argument this problem is  over we resolved it we forgive each other we love  

each other we hug it out so a mother might say  to her daughters you two hug it out no I'm not  

going to hug her no you hug each other and hug  it out that's a bad example all right here's  

an example sentence we were both angry but in  the end we hugged it out and became friends
