Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO GIVE SOMEONE A HEADS UP and TO FILL SOMEONE IN ONIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "to give someone a heads up." When you give someone a heads up, it means that you tell them something that maybe they weren't aware of. A good example would be this, a couple of weeks ago, someone made a website and was asking people to give them money and then they said they would give the money to me and then Brent, thankfully, Brent sent me an email because he wanted to give me a heads up that someone was doing this, and a couple other people did as well. So they wanted to let me know that something was happening that maybe I didn't know about it. It was really nice that they were able to give me a heads up. It was really nice that they were able to let me know so that I could kind of take care of that. So when you give someone a heads up, it means you tell them something that maybe they weren't aware of. It's always a good thing to do. It's nice when you can give someone a heads up about something. Thanks, Brent, by the way.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

I don't know why we have two prepositions at the end of this sentence, but when you fill someone in on something, it means you tell them about it. But it's more of like a formal thing that happens maybe at work or when you're talking about an event. If someone said, "Hey, I don't know anything about this Friday. We're supposed to be having a meeting. Can someone fill me in on the details? Can someone tell me about what's happening?" Or you could say this. Maybe my mom's having a birthday party and I don't know what day it's on. I should know what day my mom's birthday is. I don't know what day it's on and I don't know what time to arrive and I don't know what I'm supposed to bring. I could say to my brothers and sisters, "Could someone fill me in on all the details about mom's birthday party?" By the way, my mom's birthday is coming up in a month and a half but we're probably not having a party. Things won't be open yet here in Ontario, Canada.Anyways, to review, and hopefully I make some sense. When you give someone a heads up, it means you tell them about something, usually one thing, that maybe they didn't know about. And when you fill someone in on something, it means you give them all the details about something because maybe they were wondering what exactly was going on or what was happening. I hope those explanations made sense. Sometimes when I listen to these lessons later, I think, oh, I did actually make sense. So hopefully that made some sense to you.Hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from Voiretvisite and Voiretvisite says, "Hello. It is a nice and beautiful landscape." Usually is. It's kind of nice. "Who takes care of the goats during the day? See you soon." And my response was this. "Jen lets them out in the morning and we bring them back in at night."So the goats go out in the morning, they go out on the pasture. I did mention, I was going to try and walk and talk more. Let's see if this will work. I'm going to take my camera and walk and point. So way over there is the pasture. We let the goats out in the morning. We let them back in at night. Isn't it weird that we say in the morning and then we say at night? Why do we use different prepositions there? I don't really know. Anyways, they're out there somewhere. I'm not sure if you can see them.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)
