Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 259. The idiom today is rest
assured. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. We can also sometimes say rest
easy to mean the same thing. So rest is really you know, be relaxed. Don't worry.
Rest. Assured. Well you could be assured like you could have confidence in
something. So rest assured. Rest easy. Don't worry about something you know, we,
we got it. We're under control. All right. So let's continue with the note
here. So if one tells someone to be rest assured, he or she is telling another
person that they can be certain or confident that something will be done.
Yes. You are letting someone know that they don't need to worry. You are in
control. All right. Don't worry we got this we're in control.
Rest assured. It'll be taken care of. It is usually used as an imperative. Kind
of like an order. You tell them you rest assured. Nobody says I rest assure.
or I was rest assured and it's kind of weird. Usually somebody's telling
somebody else rest assured. Like don't worry about it.
So they're doing it. It's like an order or command. All right. So let's look at some
examples here. Example number one. Rest assured. We will make sure your package
arrives on time. Yeah. This is a common one. People are trying to send something,
especially if they were sending it late and they weren't sure it was going to
arrive on time. Maybe they want it to arrive for somebody's birthday or maybe
it's important that you know it's due to get in. Maybe you might get in trouble if
something's not on time. So they're telling you don't worry. We got this.
It'll be there. It'll arrive on time don't worry.
Rest assured. We got this or number two you could be rest assured. We will do
everything to help you. Well you know, this is trying to give somebody
confidence like don't worry we won't forget about you we will be trying our
best to help you. All right. Let's look at number three. Rest assured. We will

possibly. And you know people are feeling a little guilty about it or that they're

her. So they're telling them rest assured. We
will provide her with the best of care. We'll take care of it. Were in ... we're
in control. You can take it easy. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it is clear.
