5 分钟Hi there and welcome back.
This is Harry and I'm happy to be here with you again.
And as always, I'm going to help you, I hope, with your english grammar, and it's aimed for those of you at around intermediate or below that particular level, as I've done in the past.
I'm going to read you a sentence.
I'll read it twice, once just for you to listen to it, and then the second time to get a better understanding.
And then I'll explain to you the individual grammar points within that sentence and I will leave a gap where you might like to practice the pronunciation.
And as always, I'll give you at the end of this particular podcast the contact details if you wish to contact me directly.
So if you're comfortable and you're ready, let's begin.
So here is the first sentence and the first reading.
He blushed with embarrassment when his mobile went off during the film.
Second reading, he blushed with embarrassment when his mobile went off during the film.
Okay.
So we have a lot of grammar points within that and some words to explain.
He blushed with embarrassment.
Well, that's quite formal.
He blushed means he was annoyed or a little bit upset and ashamed of himself that his mobile phone rang during the film when he thought he had switched it off.
So blushed.
B l u s h e d.
Blushed means he went red in the face because he, he was embarrassed with what had happened.
Blushed with embarrassment.
