Saying you are worried part.1

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.”

Word Focus

“Mind”, the noun means : the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.
Sounds complex, doesn’t it ?
Let’s focus on the use of the word “mind” in structures rather than elaborate on the above.
1) wouldn't mind 😊 would like)
2) don't mind 😊 I am willing to)
3) would you mind 😊 will you please …?)
Pretty cool structures to master.
Please note that if followed by a verb, the latter will be in the gerund form (-ing).
Examples :
. “I wouldn’t mind retiring at 50.”
. “I don’t mind helping you. Spending more time with you is always a bonus.”
. “Would you mind making less noise ?”
