I asked her and her answer was ‘I only works out once in a blue moon’. I pretended to understand that phrase because I don't want to cut off her words. What’s that mean? ]]> 2022-11-30 00:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2402734804 https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2402735630 What’s difference between these two words?

My friend had a team project, but one of team members didn’t participate anything for the project. While she was dealing with him, she texted me that ‘I am sure he is NUTS! Why he didn't do anything? I should inform this to professor.’ Nuts.. I know only that the food; nuts, like peanut, almond, etc… Does that mean.. He looks like nuts?

Are there any words for this in English? Because... nobody can understand this word without my explanation. ]]> 2022-11-30 00:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2402738784 https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2403527752 I get confused with geospher and biosphere because,it feels like geosphere is life and biosphere is ground.

Fun fact:Hydro comes from the Greek word for water,Bio is a Greek word forlife,Geosphere is a Greek word for ground and Atmo comes from a Greek word for air.

I need to know the 4 spheres for my final exam.
Thank you!!!

Or I heard someone just reply to someone else by just saying that. ]]> 2022-11-30 14:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2403644652 https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2403657419 I was reading a book and found a word siege.

We call the front passenger seat, beside the driver, the shotgun seat. Its kind of the best seat: you can see everything, control the music and not have to actually worry about driving!

'Inside the hour'. An hour is not a physical place, so how can someone or something be inside? Well, what we mean when we say this, is that we want something to happen in less than one hour, or before the current hour finishes. For example, if it is 1:15 pm, Agent Woo is hoping help comes before the clock changes to the 2:00 hour. Can you create a sample sentence using the phrase 'inside the hour'?]]> 2022-12-04 14:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rawilli4/OverheardEnglish/wish/2408060976
