Thank god you showed up when you did! He’s insane! Do you think we should call the police?

What can I do?

Hello everyone! Welcome back to EnglishPod! My name is Marco.
And I’m Erica.
And today we’re are bringing you again our romantic, dramatic, suspense series I’m Sorry I Love You, Part Seven.
So, we’re gonna find out what’s happening with Steven and Veronica.
Right, in the last episode Veronica was at the doctor; she was pregnant…
But then the doctor told her it was a lie and he made it up and she wasn’t even pregnant.
Exactly, so… now let’s see what Veronica and Steven are gonna say to each other. Maybe they will break up.
I don’t know. I don’t think so, but let’s listen.
Oh, it was such a romantic moment and now what happened? Somebody got shot.
Oh my God, I don’t know, this is like so big I can’t believe this is happening.
Well, it’s a very, uh, intense drama, but we saw some great words and a lot of great phrases in there, when Steven was telling her all this beautiful words, right?
That’s right. So, why don’t we look at some of these words now in “language takeaway”? Voice: Language takeaway.
Veronica was glad… or wa… she was very happy that Steven showed up.
That’s right, showed up.
So, to show up.
Right, to come to a place.
Okay, or to arrive.
That’s right.
So, let’s listen to some examples of how we can use show up in different contexts. Voice: Example one.
We were waiting for you like an hour and you never showed up. Voice: Example two.
I didn’t invite him to the party. He just simply showed up uninvited. [NOTE: this is interesting structure - just simply; it sounds a little bit redundant, doesn’t it? But it seems that it’s very commonly used] Voice: Example three.
After months of being lost my dog finally showed up… with the family.
Alright, so, I think it’s pretty clear now, the verb show up.
And I think this verb is a little bit informal, isn’t it?
Yes, you wouldn’t really tell your boss ”hey, I’m waiting for you to show up”.
Yeah, yeah, it’s… it’s a bit too informal.
Uhu. As you know, the doctor, he was a s… he was stalking Veronica.
That’s right. So, that’s our next word – stalk.
To stalk somebody.
S-T-A-L-K.
Okay, stalk. Now, this isn’t a good thing, right?
No, this is… this is bad.
So, what happens when you stalk someone?
You follow them secretly for a long time.
And then maybe you… you watch them and…
Yeah, like you have… you’re standing outside their window watching them get undressed or something.
Hehe. Okay, so, many famous people have stalkers, right?
Yeah, which is the noun.
The… the noun form, exactly.
Uhu.
So, if I’m stalking somebody, I’m considered to be a stalker.
Yes, so, to stalk.
So, don’t do this.
Uhu.
So, Steven described this stalker as a nut job.
A nut job.
Nut job.
A nut job.
Okay, very, very informal and it doesn’t really mean anything literally, but it’s crazy.
Yes, it means a crazy person.
A crazy person. What a nut job?
He’s a nut job.
Okay, so, would you really call this to someone like to their face?
No, no, definitely, not. It’s definitely impolite.
Right, you d… you can’t say to someone “oh, you’re a nut job”.
Yeah, but it’s not a swear word.
No, but it’s a little bit insulting, right?
That’s right.
It is like saying you’re… you’re crazy.
Yeah.
But stronger. Well, the doctor was a nut job. He was stalking her and… she apologized to Steven for getting him worked up.
Worked up.
So, work up.
To be worked up.
When you get worked up, what happens?
You get really emotional and usually angry or sad or upset, but a negative emotion.
Okay, so, you got worked up.
So, it’s always used with the verb to get. So, to get worked up.
Okay, you get worked up.
You got worked up.
Okay, very good. And, well, Steven got worked up over nothing, but he didn’t mind; he said she is his love and he called her his soul mate.
His soul mate.
Soul mate.
That’s right a very romantic word meaning the perfect person for you.
Right, your other half.
Yes. Yeah.
Okay, so, your soul mate is that perfect complement for you and it’s usually romantic, right?
Usually romantic, but sometimes you might use it with your very, very, very best friend.
Okay, because you understand each other.
Yeah, you… you know what the other one’s thinking, you’re the perfect fit together.
Okay, soul mate.
Uhu.
Very good, well, we’ve seen some really interesting words. So, why don’t we listen to our dialogue again and then we’ll come back and look at some of the phrases that were used.
That was a little bit more clear this time, but…
Uhu.
Now I wanna look at some phrases, um, in the dialogue and see how they can be put together. Voice: Putting it together.
So, Veronica apologized to Steven for getting him worked up over nothing.
Over nothing.
Over nothing.
Now, it’s the complete sentence.
Uhu.
I’m sorry for getting you worked up over nothing.
So, over nothing means for no reason, right?
Right, exactly. So, why don’t we listen to some other examples of how we can use over nothing? Voice: Example one.
You always get angry over nothing. You have such a bad temper. Voice: Example two.
I called the police last night over nothing. I thought I had a thief in my house. Voice: Example three.
Let’s not fight over nothing. Let’s just have dinner in peace.
Okay, so, we see you can use many different verbs together with over nothing. So, get excited over nothing; get angry over nothing; get upset over nothing.
Exactly. Very good, so, over nothing.
Uhu.
And now for our next phrase. So, when Steven was telling Veronica how much he loved her, he told her “not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you”.
So, not a day has gone by.
Uhu, so, that part of the sentence “not a day has gone by” what does… what does he mean by that?
He’s… He means basically “everyday I think of you”.
There hasn’t been a moment…
Yeah.
When I haven’t thought of you. Now, how can we change it a little bit? What can we change within this phrase?
Well, you can put in different times.
Okay.
So, not a day has gone by; not an hour has gone by; not a moment has gone by.
Not a month, not a year.
Exactly.
Okay, so you can use different times in that phrase, but… ah, an important thing is that the complement… [NOTE: complement means addition, something that you add to the first thing you’ve had already; btw, be careful and don’t confuse this one with another word – compliment, which means a pleasant thing that you say to another person, usually opposite sex]
Uhu.
Is always negative, right?
That’s right. So, it’s always followed by a negative. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t wished you were here.
Okay, so, it’s followed by a negative.
That’s right. Um, maybe one more - not a second has gone by that I haven’t missed you.
Okay, very good examples.
Uhu.
Very romantic.
Oh, Marco.
Hehe. Alright, and now our last phrase. He told her I’ll always be here for you no matter what.
No matter what.
No matter what, so…
No matter what.
What does he mean by that?
Well, regardless of or, you know, nothing’s going to stop me.
Okay, so, if I want to get that job, I’m going to get it no matter what.
So, nothing’s gonna stop you.
Now, we can change the WH-word what…
Uhu.
At the end, right?
Yeah.
With other ones.
Exactly. So, no matter where.
No matter where you are, I will find you.
Yeah, no matter when.
No matter when your birthday is, I will be there.
That’s right. You can see how you can use different WH-words here.
Okay, very good. And it’s a very common phrase, right?
Yeah.
No matter what, no matter where, no ma…
No matter when.
No ma…
No matter why.
No matter how.
Yeah, no matter how.
O… Okay, so those were some really great phrases and I think you can play with them a little bit, change some things and then you can use them in your everyday life.
That’s right, but why don’t we hear them again, one more time in context with the dialogue?
Okay, Erica, so, who do you think got shot?
I don’t know, but I’m starting to think this story is becoming a soup opera.
Hehe. Well, it certainly is. And, well, what do you guys think happen? Or who do you think got shot? Or…
Who did the shooting?
Who shot who? Maybe…
Was it even a gun shot?
Hehe. Maybe it was just a car.
The tire could have popped. I don’t know.
Exactly. So, well, come to our website, tell us what you think happens or what you would like to happen, because I know many people… are expecting a little bit more, uh, romance maybe… and less drama.
But if you have any questions about the language in this lesson, please visit the website at englishpod.com.
Exactly, Erica and I are always there to answer your questions and, well, anything you guys need.
Anything?
Anything.
Well, thanks for listening to this lesson and until next time…
