Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Friday fraseal verb. Every Friday, I'll be here
with a quick one point English lesson to help you
learn one new phraseal verb and sound more natural when
you speak. Last week we looked at toy with, which
means to consider something, but not so seriously. Today's phraseal
verb is the opposite of that mull over. When you
mull something over, it means you think about it carefully
before making a decision. You're not rushing, You're taking your
time to consider the options. Like my buddy David got
a job offer in another city. He said he needs
to mull it over before he gives them his answer.
And last week Emily was thinking about a new car,
but she told me she wanted to mull it over
for a few days first, and me, well, I've been
mulling over the idea of starting a new project for
my students, but I want to wait to be sure
it's the right time. And by the way, notice the
pronunciation mull over mull over. We link the L at
the end of mull with over, so it's not mull over,
it's mull over. I'm gonna mull over that idea. How
about you? Is there anything you're mulling over these days?
