51 Burned out
Welcome to English in a Minute!
If you have heard American English, maybe you heard this phrase:
“Burned out”
Does this mean something was on fire, and now is out? Or maybe it means totally tired? See if you can tell. Listen:
Person 1: “Sarah got so burned out spending so much time volunteering at the hospital.”
Person 2: “She is really going to need a vacation.”
Person 1: “Totally.”
“Burned out” means you are very tired. It means you have lost interest in something. That is because you have done too much of the same thing. It is like a light bulb that has stopped shining, because all its energy is used up inside.
Now, it’s your turn to think of ways to use “burned out!”
And that’s “English in a Minute!”
