Description

Happy Sunday, you mob!

Here's another English expression that you may have heard before: to egg someone on.

No, not throwing an egg at someone's face - that'll get you into trouble!

In today's episode, I will teach you all about the English expression "to egg someone on".

I'll break down the meaning of the words in the phrase, as well as give you example situations where you can use this expression.

I will also be answering a question from Chairuladi. He asks about the difference between saying "there isn't" and "there is an" - listen closely how I pronounce both phrases!

And finally, I will play a clip from the popular Australian kids' TV show Bluey.

As an adult, I find myself addicted to it; it's very clever and has witty humour. The parents are hilarious!
