so I need your help today I'm going to

0:02

go shopping teach you some vocabulary

0:04

and you're going to help me choose some

0:06

new clothes first of all

0:09

vocabulary everything here is called a

0:12

top it doesn't matter if it's a t-shirt

0:15

a shirt um v-neck

0:18

sweater everything here is a top so this

0:22

is a top and these are bottoms yep we

0:26

use the plural bottoms because for short

0:30

trousers they're all plural except for

0:34

skirts obviously we don't actually call

0:36

skirts bottoms but we do say what are

0:40

you wearing on the

0:42

bottom we don't mean on your ass we mean

0:45

on the bottom half of your body so just

0:48

keep that in mind that is all the basics

0:50

that you need let's go to Oxford

0:53

[Music]

0:58

Street so places like Zara H&M Primark

1:03

these are all called Fast fashion shops

1:05

so yeah they probably use child labor to

1:07

make the clothes not really good and

1:09

it's really bad for the planet but today

1:12

I need to use their clothes in my

1:14

examples so

1:19

[Music]

1:32

[Music]

1:34

um I love Unico I love Muji everything I

1:37

have from Muji I love I'm a big fan of

1:40

Muji same with Zara but the have you

1:43

noticed the prices in Zara are really

1:45

weird it's either £10 or2 200 like who

1:49

prices the stuff in Zara really okay

1:52

this is too big and when something is

1:55

too big or too small the size isn't

1:58

right you use the verb fit if the size

2:02

is correct then it fits but for this guy

2:07

no so it doesn't fit it's the wrong size

2:11

but for her all her clothes are the

2:13

right size so she could say yeah these

2:16

clothes fit me perfectly but you know

2:19

when you're a kid and your parents buy

2:21

clothes that are too big for you because

2:23

they know you're going to get bigger and

2:27

one day it will be the right size we

2:30

have a phrasal verb for

2:32

that don't worry you'll grow into it

2:36

sometimes I buy clothes to grow into um

2:40

or the opposite shrink down

2:44

into if I'm getting too

2:46

chubby okay now we have the right fit

2:49

but we also need the look the

2:52

style if you want to tell your friend

2:54

those clothes and you no you can say

2:58

this

3:01

honestly it doesn't look good on you we

3:04

have a more common verb to mean look

3:06

good on you suit pronunciation suit not

3:11

sweet and yeah it's the same word as

3:14

suit like a business suit but when you

3:16

use it as a verb it doesn't suit you we

3:20

just mean it doesn't look good on you if

3:23

it does look good on someone you could

3:25

say yeah that really suits you but why

3:28

doesn't it suit you well maybe it's not

3:30

you maybe it's the clothes

3:34

like if the shirt the pants the whatever

3:37

if it's very bright very extravagant in

3:41

color or style or pattern then we could

3:44

say it's gy now gordi has a negative

3:47

meaning you want to say the style is bad

3:50

it looks bad it's very bright very

3:54

extravagant it's very gudy so in my

3:57

opinion for example this sh shirt is

4:00

definitely too gy for me no yeah it's a

4:04

bit gy but it fits me fit means the size

4:09

is good suit means the look is good for

4:13

you but there's a little difference with

4:16

suit you need that object it suits you

4:20

it doesn't suit you it suits me but with

4:24

fit that's an option it fits you don't

4:28

need that object

4:30

you can it fits me that's fine too but

4:33

that's an option that is not an option

4:36

you must have the object with suit maybe

4:39

the reason they don't suit you is

4:41

because this and this don't match

4:44

they're too different yes of course you

4:47

can say they don't match but that's

4:50

basic and you're not basic so how can we

4:53

say

4:55

that so simple you just use the verb go

5:00

that means match yet this top and those

5:03

jeans they don't go as a longer option

5:06

you can say they don't really go well

5:09

together and you can use this to talk

5:12

about people a couple if you want to say

5:15

wait her and him don't really go well

5:18

together I mean that's a strange

5:21

match when you want to say they're too

5:24

different like the contrast between this

5:26

and this it's too much use this vers

5:30

yeah they Clash to clash means they

5:33

don't look good together because the

5:35

style or the colors they too different

5:38

there's too big of a contrast between

5:41

the two things they Clash um again you

5:45

can also use this for two people with

5:48

very different personalities like yeah I

5:50

don't get on with Becky we Clash maybe

5:55

you argue a lot together so that is a

5:58

very useful verb

6:00

okay can we just go back to that top a

6:02

second the one that was too big when I

6:05

first saw that I was like that looks

6:06

ridiculous I have to put that in the

6:08

video but then after a few seconds I was

6:11

like maybe I don't know and honestly I

6:16

left the store thinking about it and

6:17

thinking about it

6:19

until I got it so we have an expression

6:23

when you're not really sure if the

6:24

clothes will look good on you or

6:27

not for example you're shopping with

6:29

your friends and you see something and

6:31

you're like usually I would never buy

6:34

this however do you think this would

6:37

suit me or no we'll use the

6:41

Expression if you can pull off something

6:44

you're saying usually you wouldn't wear

6:46

it you wouldn't buy it but that on you

6:50

looks good so he thinks I can't pull

6:53

this off she thinks yeah you totally

6:57

pull it off so notice you can separate

6:59

at this or not you have the option like

7:03

with all separable phrasal verbs don't

7:07

put the pronoun on the outside only the

7:10

regular noun that sweater those jeans

7:13

that top that kind of thing the pronoun

7:16

it them only in the Middle with

7:20

separable phrasal verbs so this is a

7:23

really good phrasal verb if you want to

7:25

say yeah that and you definitely it will

7:29

look good good you can pull it off or

7:33

you wearing that no you can't pull that

7:35

off you're not that cool um you could

7:38

also say to make it work like huh that

7:42

gy t-shirt In Those Jeans she makes it

7:45

work so for me for this I think I'm

7:48

going to keep it I don't think I'm going

7:50

to return it so which clothes do you

7:52

think would suit me let me know in the

7:54
