//////// TRANSCRIPT ////////
Hello. This is Jack from ToFluency.com and in this video we’re going to have a look at the following: ‘adopt’, ‘get on with’ and ‘nip’. Now, I used all these words and phrases in one of my latest images that I posted on social media. So, we'll look at the image. Look at what I said about the image and then take a look at the different words and phrases that I used. So, here is the picture of my dog that I posted recently and here is what I said about it: “Here is a picture of my dog, Toby, as a puppy. Before we adopted him, we wanted to make sure that he got on with our dog, Lyle. So, we took Lyle to meet him. Toby was crazy. He kept trying to play with Lyle and nip his legs. But, he was sweet and although we knew he was going to be trouble, we decided to bring him home.”
So, let’s first have a look at the word ‘adopt’. “Before we adopted him, we wanted to make sure that he got on with our other dog, Lyle.” Okay. So, to adopt a dog means to give a dog a home. It means to take the dog home and own that dog. So, we found him in a local animal shelter and we adopted him. Now, we can also use the word ‘adopt’ for children too.
The next one is a phrasal verb ‘get on with’. “Before we adopted him, we wanted to make sure that he got on with our other dog, Lyle.” Now, to get on with someone is to like someone or to have a friendly relationship with someone. So, we use this a lot, you know, talking about our bosses at work. People might say “I don’t get on with my boss. We don’t have a friendly relationship.” Now, in American English, you can also use ‘get along with’.
The next one is ‘nip’. And I said, “Toby was crazy. He kept trying to play with Lyle and nip his legs.” So, to nip means to bite lightly and small dogs and also children sometimes like to nip. They like to bite you lightly in a playful way.
Now, here is a question for you. Do you get on with your neighbors? Do you get on with your neighbors? So, leave your answers below this video. Thank you for watching and I’ll see you next time.
