Learn the English Phrases TO STAY PUT and TO STAY OVER

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO STAY PUT and TO STAY OVER

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to stay put. When you stay put, it means you stay in one location, and you don't move. I'm using this phrase, because I heard it while I was watching the news last night. They said that the truckers in Ottawa are going to stay put until their demands are met. So you could just use the verb stay, like you could say they're going to stay until their demands are met. But when you say stay put, and, it emphasizes the meaning just a little bit more. Sometimes when you have little children or pets, you want them to stay put while you do something. You don't want them to crawl around, or move, or in the case of an animal, interfere with what you're doing. So you're like, you just need to stay put. Sometimes I say that to Oscar. I'll say, Oscar, just stay put for a minute. I'm going to get you a treat. So, to stay put means to just stay in one location.

The other verb or phrase I wanted to teach you today is the verb to stay over. Now this simply means to sleep at someone's house. Sometimes our kids will go visit a friend, and sometimes they will stay over. That means they're going to sleep at their friend's house. Jen's parents actually live far away, and sometimes when we drive there, it's such a long distance that we might stay over. So when you stay over, it simply means that you sleep at someone's house for the night.

Sorry, it's a little windy out here, and it's a bit distracting, but let's review. To stay put means to stay in one spot, and to not move. And to stay over means to sleep at someone's house for a night, like, it's been a while actually. We haven't stayed over at Jen's parents' place for a while, mostly because of COVID. When we visit, it's usually really quick, and we usually stay outside.

Anyways, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Mohammad. Thank you, teacher Bob, for the videos. I have a question. Where do you collect the phrases from? And I responded by saying this. I listen throughout the day. And when I hear someone use a phrase, I make a mental note to create a lesson about it. I usually then search for another phrase that uses a similar word. And you'll notice that today, right? I taught the phrase to stay put, and then I looked for another phrase with the word stay in it, or the word put, just so that you have a little bit of connection between the two. But thanks, Mohammad, for that comment.

Yes, I do teach English lessons that are very, very relevant, if I do say so myself. I am on the lookout all day when I have conversations with other people, when I watch the news, whoa, I'm falling in the snow again. When I watch the news, when I hear students talking, or colleagues talking, when I hear a unique English phrase, I usually take a moment, to use the phrase from yesterday, I take a moment to make a mental note. Sometimes I actually do write it down though, or I email myself. Do you ever do that to remind yourself of something? Email yourself. And then I will make a little lesson on it. And then I do usually look for another phrase that is somewhat related, either using the same words, or maybe even has a similar meaning or connection.

So anyways, if you're wondering why I'm hiding all the time by buildings when I make my videos lately, I don't know if you've noticed that, it's because it's super windy out. Maybe you can't quite see it. Maybe you can hear it a little bit, but when I walk out into the wind, it tends to make the audio really, really bad. So now I'm in the wind. You can't see my hair blowing, because well, I'm not gonna mention, I have short hair now for a reason, but I think I mentioned that too many times in the last video.

Let me get back here where I am sheltered from the wind. It's been really windy lately. In fact, today it's gonna go up to 10 degrees. Everything's going to melt, and then tomorrow it's going down to minus 10, and we're having a snowstorm. That's the way the weather is, bye.

2:56 In fact, I do !!! 😅👍
I text myself on Zalo (Vietnamese WhatsApp) or Messenger. 😊 I’ve 2 phones (my professional Huawei and an old IPhone 5 when I go cycling/sport to listen to music 🤗♥️🎵) and 2 accounts, like this I can switch between the 2 phones. I also use to write on a post-it or piece of paper and put in my wallet to remind me what to do or what to buy. 😅 After 50 years old, our « memory card » is often full and need to be upgraded or helped somehow !!! 😂

Then be careful outside tomorrow. After melting, the temperature can lower, freezing happens and more icing form, si it can be super slippery under the snow!

[AmericanEnglishBrent]

I'm surprised your camera and microphone stayed put during that wind. Crazy stuff.

My Canadian friends have some very strong opinions about the truckers, but probably best not to share my opinion in such a very public forum. I send a text message to myself so I don't forget something important. 😀

[soukainaahmed]

"Like a good neighbor, stay over there" I heard this phrase on commercial advertisement. What does it mean ? Have a great weekend teacher Bob 💐💐

[duliosilva]

Cool! I already knew "stay over", "stay put" is new to me though. Hey Bob, I wonder if you could someday bring some expression with the word "shift". I always get lost in phases which bears this word.

[aryabhaskar]

Hi teacher Bob.. you are so punctual when it comes to uploading videos.
How is it like in your daily life?

[sabrinasabi]

Just Stay put, I'll be back in five minutes :)
