Saying you are worried part.2

Saying you are worried part.2

Ready to nuance ? Earlier this week we saw “I can’t help thinking that”…
Today, we are focusing on a similar phrase but it’s not a synonym.
If you “can’t stop thinking about” something, it is occupying your mind constantly. It can be used to show that you are worried about something/obsessed about something/somebody. Here, unlike “I can’t help thinking that…” , the worry is more concrete/real.
. “I can’t stop thinking about the match we lost last week. It’s driving me crazy.”
. “I can’t stop think about her. I think I might be in love.”
. “I can’t stop thinking about my driving test. I’m so nervous.”

Saying you are worried part.1

Sometimes, you know something isn’t true or logical but that thought keeps coming back in your mind. You know you shouldn’t have this feeling/thought but it just keeps coming back – whatever you do. Welcome to the human condition !
If this happens to you, use “can’t help thinking that…”
Examples :
. “I can’t help thinking that if I don’t go to more parties, I’ll be single for the rest of my life.”
. “I can’t help thinking that you might regret not buying that Gucci bag.”

Idiom of the day

We have a really positive idiom for you this week… It’s time we got in the festive period after all 😉
To do something “to your heart's content” means to do something enjoyable for as long as you want to do it…
Examples :
. “I’ve got the week off. I can therefore watch Netflix to my heart’s content.”
. “Mother will be cooking. So, prepare to eat to your heart’s content.”
