Are your mornings always go, go, go?

And this week, are you swamped, on the go, or in a rush?

We live in a busy world.

So today you'll learn 12 English expressions perfect for busy people.

Welcome back to J-Force English.

Of course, I'm Jennifer.

Now let's get started.

Let's start with go, go, go.

This means to be very busy.

Generally when you're doing one thing after another.

So your state is go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

Now, we use this to describe something.

So you could say, my schedule is go, go, go from the moment I wake up until bedtime.

So you're constantly doing something.

You can use this in a general sense and say, life has been go, go, go lately.

And notice the present perfect because it started in the past and continues until now.

You could use the past simple and say it was go, go, go all day at work, maybe yesterday or last week.

Notice here the sentence structure is noun, my schedule, the verb to be conjugated, my schedule is, and then the phrase go, go, go.

You could also say she has a go, go, go lifestyle.

So notice here we're using go, go, go plus noun.

The adjective go, go, go comes before the noun in this context.

So notice the spelling change where you have the dashes instead of the commas.

Don't worry about taking these notes.

I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF.

You can find the link in the description.

Let's review another expression with the word go to be on the go.

This means to be busy and moving from place to place and to have very little free time.

So you might say as a consultant, he's constantly on the go.

Now this sounds to me like he's moving from place to place.

So maybe he works from home sometimes, he works from the office, he has to go to client sites, he has to travel.

So he's on the go.

You might say she's been on the go since 6am.

You've been on the go for days.

So it started in the past and it continues until now.

So she's busy, but she's also going from place to place.

Maybe she has to get groceries, pick up laundry, run another errand.

So it doesn't always have to be with work.

Of course, we're busy in our personal lives as well you can make a general statement

and say i'm always

so an adverb of frequency in the present simple i'm always on the go during the week now

if you want to sound even busier than on the go

you can use to be running around like crazy manolo running

around like crazy this means to be extremely busy moving between tasks or places with little time to rest.

So it intensifies the last expression.

You might say, I've been running around like crazy all day.

And notice the connected speech with like crazy.

Repeat after me, like crazy.

Because we have that kuh sound in crazy, so we won't say it in like, like crazy.

You might say she was running around like crazy before the event started.

So notice our verb to be conjugated in the past, but we still have our verb in ing, so this is the past continuous.

You can use this in the present continuous everyone's running around

like crazy trying to finish the project let's review to be

swamped have you heard this one natives uses on a regular

basis to be swamped this means to have an overwhelming amount of work or tasks.

So you have a lot of work, but you feel overwhelmed, swamped.

So it has a more negative feel to it.

You might say we're swamped with new orders this week.

So there are a lot of new orders, which is positive, but swamped sounds too busy.

So you're overwhelmed.

And notice that pronunciation because

that ed is pronounced as a t a t swamped swamped you could say i'd love to help you

but i'm absolutely swamped today

so this might be a way you decline a request for help

and you can even add an intensifier like absolutely swamped today

now you can also use all these phrases to ask about other people

so you might ask that person why are you swamped today

and then maybe you can offer some help

because we're swamped over here let's review to be in a rush notice

that preposition in a rush i'm in a rush this means to need to do things quickly

because of limited time so just remember that it's limited time

so you might say sorry i can't talk right now i'm in a rush

and you'd probably say it with a rushed voice

or rushed body language

and then again you could ask someone why are you in such a rush today

so notice i use such to intensify it

but it's in a rush in such a rush today you can also use this to describe someone's actions.

For example, she left the office to catch her train.

But how did she leave the office?

She left the office in a rush to catch her train.

Now you can use in a rush or in a hurry.

They're both the same.

So you can just replace rush with hurry and you have the same expression.

Here's another expression that natives commonly use to be stretched thin, stretched thin.

This means to have too many responsibilities and not enough time or energy to manage them.

So you could say our team is stretched thin right now.

We've been stretched thin before.

So your team has more work to do than capacity.

Maybe someone quit or you had to lay someone off and that's the reason why your team is stretched thin.

And notice that pronunciation because we have stretched that ends in a T sound, that ED is pronounced as T,

but then thin begins with an unvoiced TH.

So we're going to combine that together and say stretch thin.

So make sure you get the unvoiced TH though, stretch thin, thin, stretch thin.

You could say she's feeling stretched thin between work and family.

So she's trying to balance these and she doesn't have enough time or capacity to do both fully.

So notice here I use the verb feel.

You can use be or feel with this expression.

You could say they've been stretched thin since the new project started.

So here you're identifying the reason why that they don't have enough capacity for the work.

100

It's because of the new project.

101

Another common expression is to be pressed for time.

102

To be pressed for time.

103

This means to have very little time available to do something.

104

So you might say, I'm a bit pressed for time.

105

So let's keep this meeting brief.

106

And notice that pronunciation pressed for time.

107

So that for is going to be an unstressed for

108

and pressed ends on a T but it'll be very soft pressed for time, pressed for time.

109

I'm pressed for time today.

110

Or you could say, can we discuss this later?

111

I'm really pressed for time today.

112

You can intensify this and say, we're quite pressed for time today, so we need to be efficient.

113

I'm really pressed for time.

114

Have you heard the expression to be tied up?

115

This means to be busy and unable to do something else.

116

So you might say, I'm tied up in meetings all afternoon.

117

He's tied up at the moment, but he's hoping you'll be able to stick around for a while.

118

Even though I have so much work to do, I'm tied up in meetings all afternoon.

119

So you're unable to do something else.

120

And notice that pronunciation tied up, dup.

121

We're going to take that D sound from tied and we're going to put it on the preposition up.

122

So it will sound like tied up.

123

Repeat after me, tied up.

124

And this is commonly used as a reason why someone is not available.

125

So the receptionist might say, oh, sorry, Jack's tied up right now, but he'll be free this afternoon.

126

Or you could say, sorry, I couldn't take your call.

127

I was tied up with a difficult customer.

128

Let's review to have one's hands full.

129

This is a great expression.

130

It means to be very busy dealing with many responsibilities or problems.

131

So you might say, I have my hands full with this project.

132

I have my hands full.

133

So it's one project, but there are many different responsibilities or maybe even problems.

134

with that one project.

135

Or you might say, she's a new mom running a startup.

136

She definitely has her hands full.

137

So remember, you have to conjugate the verb have depending on the subject and time reference.

138

Or you could say, I was going to ask for some help, but it looks like you already have your hands full.

139

So maybe you walk up to a person's office, but then they look very busy.

140

It looks like you already have your hands full.

141

So notice in this one, you need the possessive determiner, my hands, and hands is always plural.

142

My hands, your hands, our hands, whatever it might be.

143

Our next expression might sound a little odd.

144

To be up to one's ears in something.

145

Joe, I'm up to my ears in work.

146

This means to have a large amount of work or tasks to deal with.

147

So you can say, I'm up to my ears in paperwork.

148

So maybe you could imagine a stack of paperwork that goes literally up to your ears,

149

just to help you have an image of this expression.

150

Or you could say, we're up to our ears in customer requests.

151

And remember, you can use these with non-work items, of course.

152

There are seven people in my household, so I'm always up to my ears in laundry.

153

You can just imagine the amount of laundry.

154

So notice that preposition, in, and then the noun, in laundry.

155

Let's review to be buried in work.

156

This means to have an overwhelming amount of work.

157

So much work, it literally covers your entire body.

158

So you can imagine the paperwork, the laundry.

159

Of course, that's figurative.

160

You might say, I need to cancel our dinner plans tonight.

161

I'm buried in work.

162

So of course, notice that pronunciation, buried, like a strawberry, buried,

163

with a soft D for the ED, buried, buried.

164

And it's the verb to be that you need to conjugate.

165

We've been buried in work since we launched the new project.

166

So it starts in the past and continues until now.

167

Or maybe you say, since Joan quit, my team has been buried in work.

168

And of course, when he's here, he's buried in work.

169

Let's review the verb to juggle, to juggle.

170

Now, this is commonly used with other information to juggle things.

171

And you can even add at once.

172

So let's review different examples.

173

But first, this means to manage multiple tasks or responsibilities at the same time.

174

Can you juggle by the way?

175

I don't think I can, but you can imagine what that's like.

176

One wrong move and everything comes crashing down.

177

So you might say, it's not easy juggling, being a mom, and being a CEO.

178

How's she going to juggle work?

179

So you have different tasks.

180

All the tasks associated with being a mom, all the tasks associated with being a CEO.

181

And you can imagine this person is trying to juggle them.

182

So notice here, the sentence structure is your verb juggle.

183

And then we have a gerund, being a mom, and another gerund, being a CEO.

184

That's a very common sentence structure.

185

You might also say, I spend my day juggling meetings and emails.

186

So again, meetings, emails, and all the tasks associated with them.

187

So here in this expression is the verb juggle, and you have a noun and noun.

188

So you can use gerund and gerund or noun and noun.

189

You could also say my team is juggling several projects at once.

190

So notice here, instead of two distinct things you can just be general

191

and say several projects several responsibilities several reports at once at once is optional it's not required

192

and you could use a different time reference as well like right now

193

so here is to juggle conjugated and then you could use several many different

194

or another plural word and then a plural noun i'm sure you are busy

195

so now you have many ways to express that.

196

Do you want me to keep helping you expand your vocabulary?

197

If you do, put go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go in the comments.

198

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
