 From
YOUR Teacher: Slang
Letter E
The slang an "earful" is pretty useful and, as shown
above, can be used in a couple of situations. If someone
tells you a lot of gossip then they are giving you and
earful about some topic. If someone, like your boss, is
angry at you then they might give you an earful meaning
they will scold you and possibly even yell. |

Conversation Notes |
- I hear you’ve been ill
- Note the omission of that, as is usual in reported
speech in casual conversation.
- Well
- An interjection, used here simply as an introductory
word.
- You’re looking well
- Here well is an adjective meaning healthy. Are looking
is, in this sentence, a linking verb.
- By the way
- Incidentally.
- such a…that…
- This is a typical “result” sentence.
- they had to take her
- This is the “general” they. This clause is equivalent in
meaning to the passive She had to be taken.
