Welcome back to Love English Halloween Special! So, are you ready for some
scary adjectives and some spooky idioms? Shall we? Let's go!
So, who's your friend he looks a
bit scary? This is my husband, Mr. bones I'm lady bones. You don't look like
you've been feeding him. Yes we like to keep on a strict diet or bat and
spiders! So, everybody welcome to our Halloween lesson. So we're going to look
at some scary adjectives for you. So the first one of these is to be scared, which
is a very very common adjective to be scared. You can also say to be afraid.
Same meaning to be scared or to be afraid.OF! And we are afraid of something. So now I'm
afraid of Leila! I think she looks quite scary! I think I look lovely. So in this case
scary is an irregular Ed- ing adjective because normally with Ed and ING
adjectives the thing that we is making us feel the emotion has ing on the end
like for example: I'm bored because the class is boring but in this case it I'm
scared because Leila is scary! NOT scaring! okay yes not scaring!
Exactly, yeah. but we also have some extreme adjectives for you because
scared and afraid they're quite common they're a bit 'meh' What do you think of
those Mr Bones? Meh! so we've got two more extreme adjectives... to be terrified
when something is terrifying or to be petrified when something is petrifying
but remember with extreme adjectives you don't use VERY but you can use
absolutely terrifying, completely, totally but NOT VERY! Yes,
Now as well as adjectives we of
course have lots of idiomatic expressions in English to describe being
scared or feeling scared! That's right!
So, the first one is to be scared out of your pants! ah!
literally in this case meaning you're jumping out of your underwear!
They're still on! it's fine! So, to be scared out of your pants means you jump out of your underwear!
You are so terrified. Hopefully that's never happened to you and I don't really want
to see you see it happen to anyone! So the next one, now when you're very
very scared it can happen that you lose control of
some of your normal bodily functions. That's a very teacher way to explain it! Like going to the
toilet. So we have a lot of expressions in English and American English which
are all about being so scared that you lose control... Now...
this can be called to crap yourself, to crap in to go to the toilet. it's SLANG!
It's important to point out that it's the number two not the number one, yes.
or we can say a brown trouser moment, yeah, not very nice is it? No it's not, that's right!
I hope you've never had a brown trouser moment? I really haven't! I'm happy to say. The worst way to say
this is to say to 'shit' yourself. But you are not going to say that, you're not.
Crap yourself is much better. it's fine. Okay so that's a bit of a vulgar
expression for you. Now as well as saying to scare someone you could say that you
gave them fright! Boo!!! So to give someone a fright is to scare them!
So the next one we have is to jump out of your skin to jump actually out of
your skin you're so afraid now this is an idiom so it doesn't make any sense if
we actually try to look at it and understand it literally it is an idiom
so to jump out of your skin be enough to just be very very afraid and you can't
actually jump out of your skin that's right just trying to express when
someone is terrified that they do you actually jump there start and actually
if somebody gives you a fright like Lena was explaining before you can say that
you made me jump you make me jump yeah that's true have
you made me jump
really okay now this is a nice spooky idiot
we often say when we feel that something is strange you feel uncomfortable you're
a little bit scared maybe but someone's just water
oh now if you don't know what a grave is is the place where you are very then you
have a gravestone those viewing rights if you feel that someone's walk do you
lie in there like that yeah looking that lovely you will so to have someone walk
over your grave feels like summer my grave
yeah it's that feeling of something so that's why if you hit with those stories
where they all the fields are some awards across my grave
so this one is very similar this is where again we feel feels good or people
to sleep we feel freaked out to us I mean right I know yes which means we
feel scared and we can say oh I've just I've just seen something strange in the
room I feel freaked out or I can say sent shivers whichever sensor shiver
down my spine this is your spine the back yesterday to send shivers down your
spine boom quick okay the last one and actually a very common one describing
the sensations and the physical response that we often have to hear you know when
your skin goes all speckly sometimes when you're cold but also when you're
just scared we call them goosebumps referring of
course to the murder yeah it does get up yeah so to have
goosebumps is when your skin is all kind of Moon Kingdom and this is scary as he
is just skinny and bony so to get goosebumps to feel who
supports to express your fear okay everybody that was our Halloween special
