A USEFUL IDIOM for DAILY CONVERSATIONS

[@ChandaniKumar-r4c]

Hi, teacher! Here's my homework: I managed to nip in the bud my English mistake of using the present simple instead of the present perfect when I was talking about something I started doing in the past and it's still in progress, just thanks to Angela cuz last year, I read on Poonam's account that Angela kindly explained to her why it's wrong to use it! I'll be always grateful to Angela cuz I also made that mistake and no one has never told me it was wrong! Mark was incapable of nipping in the bud his bad habit of being ungrateful to Angela! She supported his job, cheered for him, bought all his CELPIP books and made him cakes to celebrate all his milestones! Loved Angela's comments, and the one left on your 500 subs video touched my heart! Her was a comment full of sweetness and concerns and used lovely words to spur his friend Mark on! Really a true, loyal and angelic friend! By the way, you shouldn't have crossed the Rubicon!😞😢😞😢

[@MilagrosCastro-c6f]

I too loved Angela's comments , and the one left on the 500k subs video was a moving one! I did love that comment so much! Starting your comment by saying " here's my homework " was a great trick, by the way! I'll follow suit!😉

[@JavierGonzalez-p3i]

I also did love Angela's comments and jokes, and that comment of her own touched my heart, as well! 3 years ago, Angela used the "six-pack " slang while Mark and Angela were joking with each other on Mark's IG account, and I didn't know what its meaning was! So, I asked Angela what it meant, and she kindly explained to me the meaning of the slang "six-pack "! That day, we had really a pleasant chat ,and Angela was so willing to share her English knoweldge with me! Angela's tips was really helpful to me! You were right, Angela is really a true, loyal and angelic friend! Hope Mark is gonna cross the Rubicon back!

In Polish we talk about an embryo being choked/strangled :) For example, "You should have choked it when it was still an embryo!"

Yes, of course Mark, I love you so much, and also, when receiving a phone call at home from a company wanting to to sell me their product, I immediately nip it in the bud and my answer is, no thank you I have everything I need and hang up,

[@MadEnglishTV]

That’s great 😎 Love you too

[@minhwangbo4662]

Hi Mark. I have been living in Canada since 2014. I feel like my english is stuck and not improving . That is why I am watching your video. Your lesson gives me not only english lesson but also something relate to Canada which is really helpful. Thank you so much.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks for watching my videos!

[@leongchunnam1569]

Glad to see you out of your car. 🙂 My example based on the mass immigration situation: The government did not nip the problem in the bud and now protest from locals have spiralled out of hand.

Very good and helpful expression, Mark . By the way, The expression Nip it in the bud, in Spanish would be " cortarlo de raíz " and it is the best we can do to stop things getting worst or unmanageable . Thanks a lot .

In Ukraine it is common to face free dogs gather in flocks and bites people. Once I saw the news long time ago that says we have more dogs in the forest than wolves 😂

[@fixanddrive]

Do you have ticks in those woods? Are they a threat in Canada?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yes and yes.

[@BeachBlueSkies]

Hi, I also cannot nip in the bud my bad habit going to bed too late. It helps me at work to spend sleepless nights, but at home I often feel knackered. It's 1 am now and I'm still staring at you on the screen and thinking how good is that the dog didn't nip you in the butt😁 Take care dear🤗

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks 😂

[@carmencastano9566]

[@TaherehAkhavankarbasi]

Hi Mark, I have a new idea. Could you make a series of videos where you speak as quickly as you do with your Canadian friends, rather than how a teacher speaks with their students? Thank you!

[@MadEnglishTV]

My speaking speed isn’t the same with all people. Even with native speakers it varies.

[@Liberty-w1e]

Hi! Yes I do!

[@ИванКомаров-п5р]

In Russia we say that we want to solve the problem in the root.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great

[@minhwangbo4662]

I heard something strange sound when i stepped on the break. I ignored that. I payed too much money to fix my car. I should have nipped it in the bud. If I fixed it at the beginning I could have payed way less than that.

[@Tarikenglish-36]

I have doublded down many times

[@maryzhao9925]

Scroll on the phone at the night can affect you sleep, you should nip in the bud

[@maximgoryanchik3016]

If God could have nipped Adam and Eve's rebellion in the bud, we would be living in Paradise right now. But He endowed all his creations with free will. Adam and Eve made the wrong choice, unfortunately for all of us.

[@laitdoukkali4885]

If husbands start arguing and mistreating women, we should nip it in the bud before it leads to the end of the relationship and the displacement of children. I hope I nip it in the bud by talking about this problem , before it gets worse and leads to young people being alienated and reluctant to get married.
