way to make it work he used three different expressions he used outside of that and he didn't mean outside like inside and outside and he used to jump at something and the idiomatic expression to go out of one's way he said went out of their way non-native speakers usually use the literal words for example don't make an extra effort for me but a native speaker would say don't go out of your way

explaining English expressions and phrasal verbs to my viewers and I will teach you some of the Expressions that Drke is using while he's speaking when we filmed this video Drke was with his co-worker Victor Victor is from Mexico he's only been in the United States for a few years and he's working very hard on his English he learned a lot from this lesson and you will too let's learn the meaning of the expression to give it a go give it a go give it a go try it uh you should try doing this you should take a whack at it start start doing it to give it a go means to try something usually when you're trying it for the first time for example you can say I've never tried skiing before but I'll give it a go this weekend or we gave the recipe a go but it didn't turn out as expected you should give it a go or in the past tense I gave it a go I gave it a go but it didn't work out let's listen to how some other people used it and I highly encourage you to give it a go this year I wanted to give it a go and let's give it a go but I would suggest trying this at least once give it a go you don't know till you try Drke used the expression to take a whack at take a whack at it he said you should take a whack at it it means to try doing something for the first time sometimes without prior experience for example you can say I've never painted before but I'll take a whack at it and see how it goes my car isn't starting so I'm going to take a whack at fixing it myself before calling a mechanic if I say you went all out or don't go all out what does that mean to go all out let's listen to Drke they did as much as they could they did a lot for you they bought maybe the nicest things um um maybe on a date let's say if I go all out on a date I take her to the nicest restaurant in town I wear a really nice suit I bring her flowers chocolate I open the door for her I went all out he went all out have you ever gone all out for a girl I've gone all out for a girl when the heart speaks it it wants to go all out you know when when you talk to my heart I want to go all out for you and that's for my friends that's for my family I'll go all out for the people I love I mean I do it every time like especially when it comes to my family I go all out I canest to it I go all out like especially when it comes about my mom like I don't care I don't stop and of course when it comes to our relationships girls like you I I don't like to waste my time so if I'm going to do it I'm going all out go all out I'm go all out okay to go all out means to give the maximum effort to put all your energy and your enthusiasm into what you're doing for example you can say when they have a party they like to go all out if they want to win they will need to go all out in the final game when is the last time that you went all out what did you do let me know in the comments Drke said I can attest to it when he was talking about Victor who goes all out for his friends and family all out I can attest to it if you say I can attest to it that means that you can confirm or provide proof that something is true based on your own experience or your own knowledge we can say I can attest to his honesty I can attest to the fact that this restaurant has excellent food I've been there many times I can attest to it I can personally attest to it let's listen to how some native speakers used it there a lot of sprinkling in this recipe I got to test to that but as somebody said you know it's fun to have written a book it's not fun to write a book uh and I can attest to that I can personally attest to the effectiveness of that app it's really great are you a go-getter what does that mean let's listen to Drke explain that expression a go-getter someone with a lot of ambition a lot of Drve uh they do their best they want to accomplish all of their goals they're a go-getter are you a go-getter I'm a go-getter yeah people with Big Drams they're go-getters Victor are you a go-getter definitely a go-getter for me like moving to another country for me that was the real definition that I'm a goalgetter cuz this is my plan this is I want to do and I'm going to stop until I get it wonderful a go-getter is a person who's ambitious and determined to succeed we can say she's such a go-getter she's already been promoted twice this year if you want someone who will get the job done hire a go-getter like him he's a real go-getter if I say to you it's a go what does that mean or in the negative it's a nogo let's listen to Drke it's a go that means that it's approved uh it's a go something was approved or that means that it's we're going to do it did we get approved for the loan it's a go we did it's a go means it has been approved or confirmed or it will happen as planned it's officially moving forward we can say the weather looks good so it's a go for the outdoor concert tonight I checked with the boss and it's a go to start the new initiative next week let's listen to how some other people used it will we find out whether it's a go tomorrow the call came in saying team it's a go it's a go it's a go they will watch a decision made on a startup whether it's a go or a noo and they all gave me yes and then somebody determines it's a go or a no-o it's a noo what does that mean let's listen to Drke explain it it's a no-o it's not going to happen that opportunity uh maybe fell through it was denied uh we can't do it um yeah it's a noo did you get reservations for tonight that's a noo it's a nogo is something that won't happen or isn't possible the event is a nogo due to the weather we tried to get tickets for the concert but it's a no go they're all sold out the deal fell through so the project is a nogo for now I gave you the example of to fall through the deal fell through but Drke also used that expression let's listen to Drke maybe fell through to fall through is to fail or to not happen as planned for example we can say we were planning to travel to Italy but the trip fell through when the flight got cancelled the deal fell through at the last minute because we couldn't agree on the terms to fall through is a phrasal verb and did you
