Tired
- knackered
- worn out
- spent
- done in

[bbclearningenglish]

Hi everyone! The incorrect expression is B! 'Pumped' is another word for 'excited'. The other two choices both describe being tired.

Never have I been absolutely knackered or worn out or spent or done in when it comes to watching BBC Learning English lessons.Before going to conk out, I'll watch at least one of their video lessons every day.

Perhaps it would be useful to include an explanation of the appropriateness (or lack thereof) of each of the phrases for certain situations. I think it's good to warn people learning a language of how casual most of these expressions are and that they would have limited uselessness in most situations.

Tired ~ knackered ~ Worn out ~ spent ~ done in

[karangupta]

1. I'm absolutely knackered.
2. I'm worn out. (Because you were busy)
3. I'm spent. (No more energy)
4. I'm going to conk out. (Gonna sleep)

Does knackered has anything to do with taking the horses to be killed?
