Okay, guys! Here we again get served a fabulous meal by Chef. Wes! The concepts were already "chopped up" meticulously so you don't need to "pig out" in a hurry! Just "wash down" what you learned in your disorganized textbook before devouring this fantastic food! Oh I know you're busy but don't "pass up" on this special one "heated up" by his top-notch explanation! You've been thinking of losing weight, but hey, don't "cut down on" Wes' servings! Because it's not the food "eaten in" at home, but "eaten out" at a Michelin star restaurant! Okay, guys! Enjoy your meal and I'm gonna make a "toast to" the success of your beautiful English journey! Everybody, Cheers! 🥂📚✨

Hey Wes! What's cooking? Thanks for the lesson.

[@InteractiveEng]

Everything. 😊 Thanks for your comment. 👍

[@lisa_goes_western]

I turn up the soup to warm it up. I turn down the soup on the stove before it is boiling up. I passed up on dinner last night. I ate all of the banans up, ups ;D. I always pig out after my workout. I chop those onions up for my dinner. I thaw the spinach out for dinner. I do not like to eat out a lot, I rather like making dinner myself. Mostly, I like eating in, so I know what ingredients include in the meal. I have to whip up my breakfast because I am too late for work. I have to cut down on my coffee, I always drink coffee every morning. I always pick at my food when it contains coriander. I have to water my meal down, it includes too much liquid. I need something to wash the disgusting food down right now. I drink to myself because I graduated from school again at the age of 31.

[@nzenguemayombogolden2660]

Does "boil over" also have the meaning of "boiling for a long time" ? For example: put the raw meat in, and let it boil over to kill out the parasites. I think of the phrasal verb "cook over" as cook for a long time and slowly. Do I get that wrong ?

There are 2 ways to say "Either". Are they from different parts of the US, or can we choose the way we want to say it. ?

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

Hello, Adriana. 👨🏻‍🏫 Mr Teacher here. Both pronunciations are acceptable. ‘Eether’ or ‘Eyether’. There is a famous 🎵 🎤 about this problem: ‘You say eether but I say eyether’. Lets call the whole thing off! I hope this is helpful for you.

[@InteractiveEng]

Yes, both are acceptable. I don't believe it's a regional thing. Sometimes I catch myself switching back and forth between them. 👍

[@VickiBee]

Vicki hates to cook. She thinks she is lousey cook. The problem I have with the word cook is it's a false friend word in German. In German, Chef means boss, not a cook, and I still picture a supervisor when I first hear or see the word. After you picture a boss for 38 years, it's hard to see a Koch/Kochin (German word for a cook) when someone says Chef is a cook. I see a man boss first and a cook second. from Gustav

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Gustav. Yes, I can imagine that would be difficult transition to make in your mind when "chef" refers to a boss. And by the way, I'm also a lousy cook. 😆
