Focus: idioms
Watch the video
Read the video script
Hi. In the classroom today you will learn the idiom, lose weight.

When people go on a diet they typically say they are trying to LOSE WEIGHT.

Many non-native English speakers often use this idiom incorrectly.

They sometimes say they are trying to LOSE THEIR WEIGHT.

This means they are trying to lose all their weight which means they would weigh nothing and not exist.

This is obviously incorrect.

The correct way to say this idiom is you are trying to LOSE WEIGHT or you are trying to LOSE SOME WEIGHT.

The correct usage of idioms is extremely important in English.

Until next time.
