1
Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about phrases that start within the.
2
So in this English lesson, I will teach you just over 25 phrases.
3
I think there are 25.
4
Oh, there's 24.
5
24 phrases that we use, that start with in the examples would be in the end, in the past, in the future, in the spotlight, in the bag, in the process, in the dark, in the way.
6
There are a lot of phrases that start this way.
7
In fact, there are so many phrases, myself was able to think of 24 of them without having to do any searching or to ask AI to fill out my list for this English lesson.
8
So what are these phrases?
9
These are common phrases we use in English.
10
If you look at this one, this person is in the lead.
11
You'll notice I used a phrase within the in order to describe the fact that this person is winning the race.
12
And there are many more English phrases that work this way.
13
So once again, welcome to this English lesson about phrases that have or start with in the.
14
In the lead, which means to be ahead of everyone else in a race, competition or contest.
15
So right now, we are experiencing the World Cup.
16
We are watching teams win, we are watching teams lose.
17
So some teams have players who have scored a lot of goals and they are now in the lead for total number of goals.
18
Actually here they are tied for the lead.
19
So this might be a bad example, but Mbappe and Messi looks, like Mbappe is number one and he is in the lead.
20
So that means he is ahead of everyone else in a race, competition or contest.
21
I'm not sure who will get the golden boot.
22
I think that's the prize for being the top scorer in the FIFA World cup.
23
But in the lead to be ahead of everyone else in a race, competition or contest.
24
So if you run, if you run in a race, and if you are the person who is ahead of everyone else, you are in the lead.
25
You are ahead of everyone else in a race, competition or contest.
26
By the way, I should add this, it only happens while the race is happening.
27
Once the race is over, you have either won the race or someone else was someone else passed you.
28
So you can only be in the lead while the competition or race is happening in the know having information that most other people do not have.
29
So here we have one lady whispering to another lady and she's saying the surprise party for bib is in two weeks.
30
Is it in two weeks?
31
Maybe it's in three weeks.
32
Anyways, if you know something other people don't know it, you're in the know.
33
Okay, if your boss says, don't tell anyone, but we're going to be hiring three new people in a month, but it's a secret.
34
Right now, you are in the know.
35
You have information that most other people do not have.
36
So sometimes it's fun to be in the know.
37
It's not nice if you're not in the know.
38
If someone says, hey, I hear you're, at work, they're gonna hire some new people, you might say, well, I'm not in the know.
39
I have no idea.
40
Or you might say, yeah, my boss told me it's nice to be in the know.
41
So, again, in the know, having information that most other people do not have in the clear, free from danger, trouble or suspicion.
42
If a police officer pulled me over for, a driving, offense, and then during the stop, the police officer started to look in my car, I'd be what is, what is he looking for?
43
What's going on, by the way?
44
I'm not. I don't do anything illegal.
45
But if he says, okay, you're free to go, that means I'm in the clear.
46
I'm allowed to leave.
47
If there was a fire on our farm and I was in the middle of the area where the fire was, I would run to be in a safe area.
48
And when I got to the safe area, I'd be in the clear.
49
I'd be free from danger.
50
So when you are in the clear, you are free from danger, trouble, or suspicion.
51
In the news.
52
I've never really been in the news.
53
They've never announced that Bob the Canadian has done something amazing and we need to report on it.
54
But in the news means being talked about or reported on by the media.
55
Now, here's a funny example, though.
56
Jen has been in the news.
57
Every few years, someone will come to the farmer's market, a journalist who's writing a newspaper article.
58
They will talk to Jen and they'll take pictures of her booth.
59
They love taking pictures of the flower booth because it makes for a good picture.
60
And then Jen will be in the news.
61
So someone will say, hey, I saw you in, the other day.
62
You were in the news.
63
So it can mean the newspaper.
64
But I should say, as I say it, I think it has an undertone of being on tv.
65
And Jen has never been on tv, but in the news, being talked about or reported on by the media in the way, blocking someone or something from moving or working properly.
66
So something can be in the way, or a person can be in the way.
67
Yesterday I had to have an electrician come to the farm because we were having trouble with the electrical circuits that run the flower coolers.
68
But there was a lot of stuff in the way, so I had to move boxes, and vases, boxes of vases and other stuff that Jen had.
69
It was all in the way, so I had to move it so the electrician could come and do his work.
70
A person can sometimes also be in the way.
71
When Jen and I are loading things into the van, if someone comes to talk to us, one of our kids, sometimes they stand in the way, and you're move, get out of the way.
72
So when you are in the way, you're blocking someone or something from moving or working properly.
73
And if something is in the way, it also can block you from doing what you need to do.
74
You can see here these boxes are in the way.
75
And this man is going to get in trouble for this soon.
76
You'll see in a picture coming up, but, yes, in the way, blocking someone or something from moving or working properly.
77
In the distance, far away, but still able to be seen or heard.
78
So the main focus of this photo is not the man, but in the distance, you can see the mountains.
79
In the distance, you can see the sun is hitting the top of the mountain.
80
It's very, very cool.
81
In the distance, you can see a few clouds in the sky.
82
So when you use the phrase in the distance, it definitely means far away, but you're still able to see it or maybe hear it.
83
I heard a sound in the distance.
84
I heard a dog barking in the distance.
85
In the distance, you can see there's rain.
86
There are rain clouds coming.
87
So once again, in the distance, far away, but still able to be seen or heard in the doghouse, in trouble with someone because of something you did.
88
So this phrase you might hear on a TV show or in a movie, it is almost always portrayed as a wife getting annoyed with her husband.
89
And then we say the man is in the doghouse.
90
So this, I guess, is supposed to bring about an image of the man actually going outside and maybe sleeping in the doghouse where the dog normally lives because his wife is very angry with him.
91
You can also be in the doghouse at work.
92
If you do something to annoy your boss, he might give you a really crummy job for the day.
93
And you might say, yes, I talked badly to the boss.
94
Now I'm in the doghouse.
95
But generally, you will see this phrase used to talk about a husband who has done something to Annoy his wife.
96
Now his wife is annoyed.
97
So I guess in this picture, maybe the man actually put the boxes in the way.
98
And now his wife is don't put those boxes in the way.
99
So the man is in trouble with someone because of something that he did in the dark, not knowing or not being told important information.
100
So if you are in the dark, you are not in the know.
101
So when you're in the know, information, but when you're in the dark, you don't know information.
102
So this man in the background, I was going to say in the distance, he's not quite far away enough for that.
103
But in the distance you can see apartment buildings.
104
He's in the dark.
105
He is not in the know.
106
The two people whispering are talking about something, probably something important.
107
And he's wondering, what are they talking about?
108
Is it the surprise party for my birthday?
109
So in the dark, not knowing or not being told important information.
110
This can happen at work.
111
Often at work, I'm in the dark about things because I am a teacher and I am not a superintendent.
112
I'm not a principal, I'm not a vice principal, I'm not an administrator.
113
Sometimes they are in the know about things that I don't need to know.
114
I, I, I'd rather be in the dark because they deal with, important stuff that normal teachers don't need to worry about in the process when something is happening.
115
So you might have friends who are in the process of building a new house, Someone might be in the process of looking for a new job.
116
You might be in the process of starting a business.
117
So when something is happening, we sometimes use the phrase in the process.
118
So this definitely is a house.
119
And you can see they're in the process of building it.
120
They aren't starting to build it.
121
They aren't done building it.
122
They're in the process.
123
You could also, here's another phrase, you could also say they're in the middle of building it.
124
So you can see they have the first floor done.
125
Looks like they have an electrical box here with some protective poles around it.
126
And they are starting on the second floor.
127
They are in the process of building this house.
128
Now, I'm actually not sure as I describe this how many times I said process and how many times I said process.
129
So they're in the process of building a house.
130
They're in the process of building a house.
131
I think because I live in Canada, there are a number of words that we pronounce two different ways.
132
Process, process, produce is another one.
133
So you can produce.
134
You can have produce.
135
I don't want to confuse you too much.
136
This house is definitely in the process of being built.
137
So it is when something is happening in the bag, almost certain to happen.
138
When Canada was playing against Qatar, they were leading 1 nothing, and then 2 nothing and then 3 nothing.
139
At that point, people were starting to think, the win is in the bag.
140
This is in the bag, which means it's almost certain to happen.
141
If you ever watch a football game, if a team is winning three nothing at the half, or four nothing or five nothing.
142
Not always, but most times the game is in the bag.
143
You things can always change.
144
But when something is in the bag, it is almost certain to happen in the works, being planned, developed or worked on.
145
Hey, are you building a new house?
146
Yep, it's in the works.
147
We talk to an architect, we have blueprints.
148
We're going to be starting soon.
149
Do you have anything, any plans for the summer?
150
Oh, yeah, we have a few things in the works.
151
We're going to go camping.
152
We're going to go see the new Supergirl movie.
153
We have a few things in the works.
154
How is your new business doing?
155
It's doing well.
156
We have a few projects in the works.
157
So it's a pretty universal term.
158
You can use it to talk about a wide variety of things that are being planned, developed or worked on in the right, correct or justified in a situation.
159
So here we have a judge saying, you win.
160
You could, you can tell this is an AI image because the judge is not where the judge would normally be sitting at the other end of the courtroom.
161
But if you are in the right, it means you are correct or justified in a situation.
162
If I'm driving 50 in a 50 zone and a police officer gives me a ticket, that's not right.
163
I'm in the right, he's in the wrong.
164
We'll get to that in a sec.
165
So when you're in the right, it means you are doing the correct thing or you are justified in a situation.
166
If Jen goes to market and if she's supposed to be in spot number 11 and she puts her canopy and sets up in spot number 11, she's in the right.
167
That's the spot where she is supposed to be.
168
I hope this doesn't raise too much controversy, but when you're in the wrong, you're guilty of doing something.
169
So there was a recent, event in World cup where a player, hit another player's ankle and nothing happened.
170
And then another Player did the same in another game and got a red card.
171
Both of these players are in the wrong, though.
172
You should never injure another player while playing football or soccer.
173
You are guilty of doing that.
174
You are in the wrong.
175
When you play the game, you're supposed to kick the ball.
176
If you kick a player, you're in the wrong.
177
You are guilty of doing something that you are not supposed to do.
178
I think the Americans are pretty upset about, this one in the moment, giving all your attention to what is happening right now.
179
So if you look at this person, they are watching the sunset.
180
They are in the moment.
181
They're not on their phone.
182
If you're watching this English lesson and you're also on your phone and you're also cooking supper.
183
Let me, You're not in the moment.
184
When you're in the moment, you are giving all your attention to what is happening right now.
185
When I'm doing a live English lesson, I need to be in the moment.
186
I can't just be like, if I kept looking outside and if I was, looking over there.
187
I need to be present.
188
I need to be in the moment.
189
While I'm doing these lessons, I need to give all my attention to what is happening right now.
190
And you should, in the spotlight, receiving a lot of public attention.
191
So right now, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
192
There might be a wedding today or this weekend, I don't know.
193
But they have been in the spotlight lately.
194
There have been a lot of news articles about these two, as they plan for, their upcoming wedding.
195
At least that's what we think is going to happen.
196
So they have been in the spotlight and they have been receiving a lot of public attention.
197
I'm having trouble being in the moment right now because it's very windy and raining outside, and we weren't expecting that this morning.
198
So in the spotlight, receiving a lot of public attention in the past, in the future.
199
So in the past is the time before right now.
200
So in the past, I used to do live English lessons every Saturday.
201
Talk about working too much.
202
That was far too much.
203
Now I just do a live English lesson the first Saturday of every month.
204
In fact, there will be 1 Tomorrow, July 4th, at 10am Eastern Daylight Savings time.
205
So in the past would be the time before right now.
206
In the past, I used to work full time and do YouTube.
207
That was too much work.
208
So it says the time before right now, but it usually refers to something more than a month or two ago.
209
Hey, do you still sell flowers at two markets?
210
No. Well, in the past we did.
211
Now we only sell at 1.
212
In the future, the time ahead of right now.
213
So, we are sitting here on July 3, 2026.
214
In the future, I.
215
I might have a camera like this.
216
Sorry, I kind of missed my description there.
217
We're sitting here in 2026.
218
I have a camera on a tripod.
219
But in the future, the time ahead of right now, I might have a camera more like this that flies around and films me quietly while I'm making a video.
220
I do have a camera that will fly around, but, this one is, definitely more futuristic.
221
So in the future, the time ahead of right now.
222
In the future, these live lessons might be 3D in virtual reality.
223
We'll have to see in the end the last thing that happens or the outcome.
224
So last time we had the World cup, there were a number, there were a number of possible outcomes, but in the end, Argentina ended up winning the World Cup.
225
So it is the last thing that happens.
226
Did you get the new job?
227
In the end, I didn't end up getting that job, but I got a different job instead.
228
So it's kind of the conclusion, the outcome, the last thing that happens.
229
This was a fun moment, although I was sad because I wasn't cheering for Argentina.
230
I was cheering for the other team, in that matchup in the limelight, receiving a lot of attention from the public or the media.
231
Sorry to have so many World cup photos, but this is kind of what's happening right now.
232
When someone is in the limelight, it means you see them a lot on tv, you see them a lot in the news, you see them a lot online or on YouTube.
233
Right now, these two guys are definitely in the limelight.
234
They're receiving a lot of attention from the public or the media.
235
Very similar to in the spotlight.
236
In fact, the phrases are almost identical.
237
This one is simply used a bit less.
238
It's not quite as common.
239
But yes, when you are in the limelight, you are receiving a lot of public attention.
240
A lot of attention from the public or the media.
241
In the habit, doing something regularly, a routine.
242
This family is in the habit of recycling.
243
Jen and I are also in the habit of recycling.
244
I'm in the habit of wearing shirts with a collar and short sleeves when I go to work as a teacher.
245
Some of you are in the habit of watching these live lessons every Friday.
246
So when you are in the habit, you are doing something regularly.
247
It is a routine.
248
Jen and I are in the habit of putting the garbage out at the road every Thursday morning because that's when the garbage truck comes.
249
So in the habit, doing something regularly, a routine, in the loop, knowing the latest information or being included in discussions.
250
So this is a lot like in the know.
251
If you're in the loop at work, you know about the secret project.
252
If you're in the know, you know about the secret project.
253
If you guys.
254
If I tell you there's a live English lesson tomorrow, you're in the loop.
255
Now, you are aware of the latest information.
256
So. So sometimes people like to be in the loop and they aren't necessarily supposed to be.
257
Sometimes people try to find out information because they want to be in the loop, but, But because they want to be in the loop.
258
Sorry. Sometimes I read the chat during the lesson.
259
They want to know the latest information and be included in discussions.
260
In the zone.
261
Completely focused and performing at your best.
262
Two of my kids like to watch Counter strike tournaments on TV or on YouTube.
263
On TV. Old people watch it on TV.
264
Those players, professional video game players, they need to be in the zone when they're playing the game.
265
They need to be completely focused and performing at their best.
266
When I'm doing a live stream, I need to be in the zone.
267
I can't be distracted by the weather or the power going out.
268
I need to be in the zone.
269
I need to be completely focused on what I'm doing and performing at my best.
270
In the cards, likely or expected to happen.
271
So if you applied for a job and someone says, do you think you'll get the job?
272
You could say, I think it's in the cards.
273
I think I'll probably get the job.
274
So you are expecting it to happen.
275
Someone might say, hey, is it in the cards for you to get a raise at work this year?
276
You going to get paid more?
277
And you might say, yeah, I think that might be in the cards.
278
That is likely or expected to happen.
279
Is this live stream going to happen next Friday?
280
Yep, that's in the cards.
281
I think this must come from using, is it tarot cards to predict the future.
282
That's probably where the phrase came from in the cards.
283
Likely or expected to happen.
284
The picture to be part of a situation, to be part of someone's life sometimes.
285
Here's the example.
286
If you have a niece and last time you saw your niece, she had a boyfriend.
287
And then the next time you see your niece, she's by herself, you could say, hey, is Joe still in the picture.
288
Is he. Are you still together?
289
Are you still dating?
290
I'm trying to think of another.
291
It's definitely related to relationships.
292
Is he still in the picture?
293
Is she still in the picture?
294
Oh, Uncle. Uncle Joe had a girlfriend for a while, but she's not in the picture anymore.
295
That means they're no longer together.
296
So in the picture, to be part of a situation.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
