 SUMMARY ON COMMON EXPRESSIONS

Every country and culture have its common expressions that they use to express an idea or
phrasemes see that in the video provided by the teacher we saw some kinds of expressions that
we who do not speak English can see through movies or series that we love to see and these
American expressions are used.

Some of the expressions that we hear in this video, which I will explain below:

Whatever: pronoun is an informal expression that is used a lot to say that whatever it is or does
not matter to you, it is also used a lot in our Spanish language.

My bad: This expression is used a lot to defend against something bad that was done, it is widely
used by athletes.

time or if you've lost track of them.

Plead the 5th: refers to the 5th amendment of the constitution and is used daily when you do not
want to say something that may involve you in something

Like: It is a meaningless interjection when we have a conversation it is used more by young

people.
