Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb phrase 198. The verb phrase today is
to go around. Okay. We actually have 8 uses at 8 meetings
for go around. It's a very common verb phrase.
So let's look the first one here. If something goes around, there is
enough to share for everyone. All right. So here's the first example. You have to
limit each plate to only 10 dumplings to make sure there is enough to go around
for everyone. So don't put like 15 or 20 dumplings on one person's plate or a
number of people's plates because you may run out. And there may not be enough for
everyone. There may not be enough to go around.
So that's the way we mean it. Or number 2 here. To get past by moving around it.
Well this is one of the most basic meanings of to go around. You need to go
around that double-parked car. So if you're on a street and somebody may be
illegally parked next to another parked car blocking a lane that would be a
double-parked car. So if you're trying to drive of course you have to drive around
that. You have to go around it. So that's what we've been saying. All right. Number
three here. To try to avoid dealing with something. Okay. If you don't think your
supervisor will agree to what you want, you should try to go around him by going
over his head directly to the boss So you're trying to go around him. Yeah. You're
trying to avoid dealing with him because you think he will be a problem. He won't
give you what you want. All right. Number 4. To rotate or move in a circle and of
course that means definitely go around. She's just watching the clothes in the
dryer go around and around over and over again. So if you are ever in a laundromat and
you're sitting there waiting for your clothes to be dry and you see the
clothes going around and around. That's what we mean. So we
mean to rotate or move in a circle. All right. We actually have a second one for this one.
The merry-go-rounds will go . will go around at least ten times before the
ride is over or before the ride is finished. Okay. Good. Number five here. To
walk around or appear in public dressed in a particular way. Okay. Here . You cannot
go ... All right. Yeah. So you cannot go around wearing those worn-out shoes,
people will think you are very poor. Okay. Good. And we have a second one for this
one. If you go around dressed in such revealing clothes, maybe you're showing a
lot of skin, especially a girl , you are asking for trouble. And you may get some
unwanted attention. So parents may be warning, especially their daughters about
this. You can't go around dressed like that. If you go around dressed like that
maybe you know , it'll lead to trouble. So be careful. Okay. Good. Let's look at
number six here. To do something regularly in a carefree or even selfish
way. Okay. Here you cannot go around always showing up late for
appointments, people will consider you rude and undependable. Yeah. So it's like
you're not concerned about other people's time. You're being a little
selfish. You just don't care. So you can't go around being late. All the time.
All right. Number seven here. To circulate means to go around tolike all different
people. Many people may try to avoid crowded places with the corona virus
going around. Going around to you know, spreading from person to person. Okay.
Good Number eight here. The last one. To move
around from place to place. We went ... we went around. Remember the past tense of go
around. We went around to five countries during our European
trip. Okay. Anyway. I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Again if you like these
