Using Wish

Wish can be a tricky word to use in English, so today, I will show you how we use this word in our everyday English Conversation. We use wish + were when we imagine that we want a situation to be different than it is. When we wish for things like this, we are just imagining something we do not think is possible:

Using Worth

If you’ve never been to NYC, you should come. It is certainly worth the trip. With so much to see and do here, the experience is certainly worth the expense. Just be careful of the street vendors. Many of them sell designer brand goods, but they are generally fake, and not worth the $10 price!

Unibrow

 It’s hilarious and native speakers will LOVE it if they hear you use it. The first part of the word “uni” means “one”.  For example, a “unicycle” means “one wheel” and a “bicycle” means “2 wheels”.  (bi means two)

Secondly, “brow” is short for “eyebrow”.  A person’s “eyebrow” is the hair above each eye.  Most people have 2 eyebrows. So now… Imagine a really hairy person.
