In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase,
"Enough said."
This is a phrase we use when we're done talking about something,
and it's time to actually do the work or do something.
When Jen and I talk about what we're going to work on, on the farm each day in the morning.
Eventually one of us might say, okay, enough said.
Let's get to work.
It can also be something you say towards the end of an argument.
Maybe you're having an argument with someone and you finally just say, Look, enough said.
I don't think we're going to agree on this.
So it simply means that the time for talking is over in that situation.
And it's time to either do the work or maybe just
stop talking about what you're talking about.
Enough said.
The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase enough to go around.
So this simply means that you have
as much as you need so everyone gets something.
When I go to a party, sometimes I bring food and when I get there,
they might say, Oh, you didn't need to bring food.
We had enough to go around.
So it means the same as enough, but
it also implies that you are sharing.
My sister's having a birthday in a few weeks and she said she's having a party
and we should come over.
And I said, Should we bring some food with us?
And she said, No, no, I'll have enough to go around.
This simply means that she's going to buy all the food.
She's going to prepare it.
We do not need to bring anything because there will be enough to go around.
Again, it just means the same as enough.
But it also means that you are sharing with more than one person.
Anyways, to review when you say enough said,
it means that the discussion is over or it's time to get to work.
And when you say there is enough to go around,
it means that you have enough so everyone gets something.
If you buy 12 donuts and there are 12 people, you have enough to go around.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
This comment is from Irina.
Thank you dear teacher, Bob, for your amazing lessons.
Have a great day.
And my response? Thank you.
I hope you have a great day, too.
So I wanted to use that comment because
I do pick all different types of comments
and sometimes I do like to just pick the one that says thank you and have a good day
and I like to focus on the “Have a good day!” part of it.
It's nice when people say, Have a good day.
It's nice when people are positive.
So thank you Irina for that comment.
Thank you for being a positive person.
I appreciate that.
That is what teaching English for me is all about, me being positive
and people who are watching the lessons also being very positive about life.
There's no reason to be annoyed about anything.
It's good to just be happy.
Having said that, I was going to do the lesson today on the phrase Enough already!
and Enough is enough!
because it's been raining here a lot
and I'm at the point where I want to say enough is enough.
We have received since Let me see, the last video you watched was last Friday.
Since last Friday, we have received three and a half inches of rain.
That's a lot of rain.
That's too much rain.
I was outside saying enough is enough.
I was yelling at the sky this morning.
Not really, but kind of in a joking way.
But it has just been raining and raining and raining.
I think now the sun might come out in a little bit.
Let me check my time here. Oh, I have 30 seconds.
The sun might come out in a little bit and that would be really nice. We
like the soil can't take this much rain.
It's just starting to run off.
It's starting to just go
and pool in places in our fields where we don't want it to.
You have a lot of puddles like this one
that have just been here
for a few days now.
I know I showed the ditch the other day.
I don't know if that was in a short lesson.
It's not running full speed right now,
but there's certainly water running in the ditch as well.
Whoo!
It would be really nice if it stopped raining.
Funny how a few weeks ago, I was saying, I hope that it rains
because we need it badly and now I'm like, I hope it stops soon.
Anyways, thanks for watching.
I think this lesson went a little bit longer than normal.
Have a good day.
I'll see you in a couple of days with another short English lesson. Bye!
