Watch the video and then, read on to learn more about the words and phrases that I used:
*** I'm using this reusable bag ***
If something is reusable, it means it can be used over again.
*** What I don't like about it... ***
This is a great phrase to know and can be used with HATE, LIKE, LOVE etc.
- What I hate about the gym is...
- What I love about soccer is...
*** It's going to leak ***
If something leaks, it means that water escapes. The adjective is leaky.
- That's a leaky water bottle
*** I go to the gym without showering ***
We use the gerund after words like after 😀, before, without etc.
- I brush my teeth after eating lunch
- He's tired after working out
*** I've been reusing it ***
To reuse something means to use it again. It's the verb form of reusable (like before).
*** I'm going to see how long I can keep this going ***
To keep something going means to continue doing something.
- he's been running for 6 hours. I don't know how long he can keep it going.
*** I grew up swimming ***

*** My dad used to wake me up at 5:30 ***

*** drink up ***
Not as common as to drink but this phrasal verb means to complete a drink.
*** It's in this awkward stage ***
Awkward means, well, it's hard to explain. In this case, it means that my hair isn't looking too good right now.
*** I won't show you the combination ***
The combination is the code that unlocks the lock.
*** I've kept it since ***
