Hi, James from www.engvid.com . Today, I'm going to teach you some idioms about eyes.

Well, not your eyes, but how we can use the word eyes in idioms to convey certain meanings

An idiom is a few words or a bunch of words that put together that may not have an obvious

meaning or a clear meaning, but once you know what they are, it actually gives you a greater

So, example is - in English, we like to say it's raining cats and dogs, which doesn't

But, when you understand, it means it's a lot of rain, you're like okay, it's raining

And it's because we use this shorthand for language that's full of meaning or rich with

Anyway, we're going to go to the board but before we do, I just wanted you to check out

Captain Kirk, we're going back to the Enterprise! 21st century.

Or the 24th century then the 21st century.

So, Mr. E says "The eyes have it", but on my board, you're going to notice there's nothing

to do with eyes, so I'm going to read this little story to you, it's between, you know,

a little story between Mr. E and myself, and then later on, I'm going to teach you the

appropriate idioms that have the word "eye" inside of it that you can use to substitute

So, I'm going to explain, you know, we'll go through the story, then we'll do the idioms,

okay, then we'll come back here and we'll make the corrections and put in the new idioms

So, starting off myself: The bright color of the shirt got my attention, so I bought

Mr. E says: Well, you've always had good taste in clothing.

The blue shirt I bought was so ugly it hurts to look at it.

I thought I saw Keiko show a bit of romantic interest when you wore the blue shirt.

I will have to watch very carefully the next time I wear this shirt and see Keiko.

Dum dum dum dum, the plot thickens, okay.

There is a lot more to that woman which is not obvious.

It's gone from clothing to romance, and I'm about to go into idioms and just destroy all

Let's go to the board and look at what idioms I can use to replace the statements you've

So, time for me to actually explain all these idioms we're looking at and show you, you

know, some idioms we can use to replace the words we had up there.

But before I do that, I want to give a shout out, as I keep an eye out for Ronnie!

You've got to say shout out to me in the future.

Okay, so anyway, let's go to the board, and on the board, I have seven idioms that will

replace the seven sentences we highlighted in blue on the board earlier on.

So, the first one I want to talk about is caught someone's eye, or to catch someone's

I think I was - when you catch somebody's eye, when catch something, alright, you catch

You focus and you can catch - I think when you focus, you can catch it.

When you catch it, it's yours, sort of thing.

So, when something catches your eye, it literally takes your attention and catches it, alright?

You caught my eye, you catch my eyes, so I watch, you know, I watch whatever it is you

When you have an eye for something, it means you have a very good ability to tell what

is good quality or bad quality or what is good and what is bad.

I have the best eye - I have the best eye - I can, I have the best quality - Sorry,

So, when you have a good eye for something, you can say "I have an eye for diamonds.",

so I know what a good diamond is, or I have a good eye for quality workers, I know what

So, when someone has an eye for something, they can see quality.

Well, if you go to the gym and you work out a lot, the next day you're going to go "Oh,

It's not in pain from like, you've injured yourself and you have to go to a doctor, it's

Usually, the gym is a good place to get sore because you go "I did my workouts, I feel

Eyesore, remember, it hurts, your eyes shouldn't really ever be sore, so if your eyes are sore

Usually a person or a thing that is extremely ugly.

Notice I said a person, because yes, you can be that unattractive.

I personally think everybody's good looking in their own way, but some people, the way

they dress or act, they can become an eyesore, you know what I'm saying?

But we usually use it for things, like a house can be an eyesore, bright clothing can be

Your stylish hairdo from the 80's - an eyesore.
