16 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome to my podcast where I try to help you to understand and get a better understanding of the english language.
And I help you by understanding the grammar, phrasal, verbs, expressions, idioms, everything connected with the english language.
And as always, if you want to contact me, you'll get the details at the end of this particular podcast.
So what are we going to talk about today?
Well, in the podcast now, we're going to take a look at some adjectives, and the particular adjectives we have for today are those adjectives that might describe people and the way they behave or the way they are, okay?
So some of them might be a little different.
So hopefully you will enjoy these.
As always, I'll give you the expression of the adjective, and then I'll give you an example.
Number one, she's completely incompetent, or he is completely incompetent.
Completely incompetent means unable to do something satisfactorily, okay?
Completely incompetent, just unable to do anything basic that you ask.
So you ask somebody to complete spreadsheet, Excel spreadsheet, they don't know how to do it.
You ask them to write a few emails, they've never used email before.
You ask them to set up a Skype call.
They don't know how to use Skype.
So you look them up and down, say, my God, you're completely incompetent.
You're completely unable to do all of the basics.
You said in your cv that you have computer skills.
You have no computer skills.
You are incompetent, unable to do the basics.
