Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS and TO JUMP THE GUNIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to jump to conclusions. When you jump to conclusions, it means you think something is true before you actually have all the facts or know for sure that it is true. Let me think of an example. Let's say you came to school and you went to my classroom and there were no students there. You might jump to conclusions. You might think, oh, Bob must have kicked all his kids out of class and he's not teaching them today because he's angry. You might jump to conclusions and think that maybe all of my students are on a field trip, but the reality is, the truth is there just wasn't any school today. So when you jump to conclusions, it means you see some evidence or you know some facts and you think something is true before you know all of the details.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

When you jump the gun, it means you do something before you're supposed to do it. Let me think of an example. Let's say Jen was harvesting flowers and she had 100 Lisianthus sitting in buckets here. I might jump the gun and start selling them to people without talking to Jen. So I might do something before I know I'm actually allowed to do it. Another example would be, let's say I was making an invitation to a party and we hadn't quite decided on the date, and we had a draft version of the invitation, and I decide to print it and send it to everybody before actually talking to the people organizing the party. I would be jumping the gun. So when you jump the gun, you do something before you're supposed to do it.So to review to jump to conclusions means to think something is true before you have all the facts. And to jump the gun means to do something before you're supposed to do it. I don't often jump the gun. I'm pretty good at doing things when they're supposed to be done.But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from Aquiles. At minute 4:05. Wow, the cat is running outside with that weather. He's not even wearing a sweater. And my response, our cats are quite furry and well adjusted to the winter weather.So, yes, sometimes people voice their concerns when they see our dogs or cats outside in the winter when it's -15C or even -20C but rest assured, our cats all have an extra thick layer of fur. Our cats grow lots of hair when the winter is approaching. I think it's a very natural thing for animals to do Oscar and Walter as well have winter coats on right now. They grow extra fur, they're furrier and it just helps them be outside. Now we are cautious with our dogs outside when it's really cold because their paws. You don't want their paws on frozen ground if it's -20C. But the cats do live in the barn. They have lots of cozy places in the hay and straw where they can hang out. So it's not too bad.So anyways, guess what? As you are watching this, I am teaching as you watch this. It's Tuesday today, but you'll be watching this on a Wednesday. It's the first day of classes and someone asked me today if I was nervous for tomorrow and I just said, I'm not nervous for tomorrow, I'm nervous for the day after. The first day of school is rather easy. You hand out textbooks, you learn the students names. You kind of get them enrolled in the different online software packages that you use. The first day of school is actually quite easy and the classes are also a little bit shorter because we meet as a school in the morning just to have an assembly, we would call it.Support the show
