Let's look at bear. Now, the noun is easy.

It's just one of these. Literally, it can mean to support white, but figuratively, we use it to mean to put up with or to tolerate.

I can't bear this cold weather.

It's too much for me. I can't bear this job.

It's too hard. I can't bear to wait

any longer home. Another little meaning is to carry something, but we more often use it in expression, to bear in mind, which means to think about or remember, bear in mind, these prices will go up.

What you need to bear in mind is that practice will help you bear in mind.

this isn't finished yet. So the verb bear literally means to support, hold or carry.

But bear in mind, we often use it in idioms.

It's tough, but you just have to grin and bear it.

Both of these words are adverbs, especially means in particular, or most of all, e.g.

Do you ever wonder about the difference between whisper, murmur and mumble?

They are all used to describe different ways of speaking quietly.

Whisper means to speak

quietly, often on purpose, so that only someone

very close can hear

what you're saying. I don't want everyone to hear I'll have to whisper.

I've got a secret to tell you.

I'll have to whisper it

though. Murmur means to speak quietly, often in a low, continuous voice, so it's hard to understand.

I love you, she murmured in her sleep.

I can't hear what you're saying.

Stop murmuring. Mumble means to speak quietly, often in a low voice, making it difficult

to understand. She's always mumbling and complaining very quietly, so I can't hear.

It drives me mad. Really sorry.

I should have been the last bit again.

It doesn't mean that we want to hear something.

It's about sounds coming to our ears.

I can hear the air conditioning.

It doesn't mean that I want to hear it, but I can.

The verb listen is often followed by the preposition too.

That means I hope you're paying attention.

Hi guys. This is key from BBC Learning English.

And today I'm going to tell you the differences between until and by We use until to talk about doing something up to a certain point in time.

If I say, I have to take care of my dog until 05:00 p.m., it means I will start taking care of my dog now and stop taking care of it at 05:00 p.m.

On the other hand, we use by to talk about doing something before a future time or deadline.

If I say I have to finish an essay by 05:00 p.m., it means I can start any time, but I will make sure that at 05:00 p.m.

I have finished writing the essay, so I may even finish it at 03:00 p.m., or any time before five.

So we use until to describe doing something up to a certain point in time, and we used by to describe doing something before a future time or deadline.

I don't do judo. Then for activities ending I-N-G, we often use GO, so I can say, I go running or I don't go swimming.

Of course, there are some exceptions, but try to remember, play for team sports or ball games.

Do for individual activities and go for activities ending in eye N-G.
