Happy English fraseal Verb Friday. I'm here every Friday with

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,080
a quick one point English lesson to help you learn

4
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:19,280
a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when you speak.

5
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:26,480
Today's Fraser verb is zone out. Yeah. When you zone out,

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,559
it means your mind starts to wander and you stop

7
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:37,960
paying attention, especially when you're tired, bored, or distracted. Basically,

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,200
your body's there, but your brain takes a little break.

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,600
Like the other day, I was in a long meeting

10
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:51,079
and about halfway through I totally zoned out. Or my

11
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,759
friend Olivia said she was watching a movie but she

12
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:59,280
zoned out and missed the ending. And sometimes when I

13
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,960
ride the train home at night, I just zone out

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,799
and stare out the window. It's kind of relaxing, actually.

15
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,680
And here's a pronunciation tip. We pronounce zone out as

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,480
zone out. The end at the end of zone connects

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,000
smoothly without zone out zone out. So how about you

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,079
when do you usually zone out? At work, in class,

19
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280
or maybe when someone's talking too long. Leave a comment
