  • risk 
  • run a risk
  • excuse (v) /ik'skju:z/
  • excuse (n) /ik'skju:s/
  • waist

    GRAMMAR AND EXPLANATION:
    1. The expression "in case", or "just in case", means in preparation for the possibility that .... For example. if we say "Here is my phone number in case you need to call me". we mean in preparation for the possibility that you need to call me'. If you need to call, you will already be prepared because you will have my number.
    2. The expression "just in case' can be used at the end of a sentence if it is obvious what we mean. For example, "Here's my mobile number, just in case" obviously means "Here's my mobile number in case you need to call me".
    3. Do not confuse the expression "in case" with the expression "in case of". We use "in case of" with the meaning of "if and when something happens". For example, "In case of fire, leave the building immediately" means "If and when there is a fire, leave the building immediately.

    •go down 
    •come down 
    •case 
    •barrister 弁護士

    CALLAN/GRAMMAR : 


    Sometimes it can be difficult to know when to use the verb "go back" and when to use "come back", or when to use "go in" and when to use "come in". Some students have a similar confusion with the words "bring" and "take". The problem exists because, with these verbs, the correct choice depends mainly on where the speaker is at the time. 

    For example, if, at the time of speaking, I was at the school, I would say "After the lesson tomorrow, I'll go back home", whereas if I were at home, I would say 'After the lesson tomorrow, I'll come back home". 

    If you really cannot decide which verb to use, one way to overcome the problem is to use the verb "return" instead of "go back" or 'come back", and the verb "enter" instead of "go in" or "come in". However, "return" and "enter" are quite formal words in English, so only do this if you feel you have to. 

    SENTENCE STRUCTURES: 

    •Yes, it's possible to kill a man with one's bare hands; that is,without using a weapon of kind. 
    •When I go on holiday I take clothes with just the bare minimum with me.

    We generally use "which" when we are considering a limited number of alternatives, whereas we use "what" in a more unlimited sense. For example, we say "What's your phone number?" because there is an almost unlimited number of possibilities. However, if we have a piece of paper with some phone numbers written on it, we say "Which of these is your phone number?' because there is a limited number of possibilities.
