Welcome back to know your verbs.

My name is Alicia, and in this episode we're going to talk about the verb walk.

Let's get started.

Let's look at the basic definition of this burb.

The basic definition is to make progress on foot examples.

I walked around the neighborhood yesterday.

He walks around the office to stretch his legs.

Now let's look at the congregations of each Ferb present walk, walks past, walked past participle walked progressive walking.

Now let's talk about some other meanings for this for first, additional meaning for this lesson is to cause an animal to walk.

Let's look at some example.

Make sure toe walk the dog later.

Have you walked the dogs today?

So here you'll see Walk the dog.

So this is quite common for dogs.

We don't really walk, meaning we don't really take the animal out and, like go for a walk with the animal.

So, like, we usually just use this expression with dogs.

We don't usually say like walk the cat or like walk the burn or walk the sheep.

I don't know.

We usually use it with dogs, so walk the dog.

So it's part of the animals.

Exercise the necessary exercise.

Eso we use walk before dog in this case, so make sure toe walk the dog.

Have you walked the dog means caused the dog toe walk.

The second meaning I want to talk about for this lesson is to accompany someone on foot.

So you're traveling with someone on foot?

Examples of this She walked her friend to the station.

Will you walk me home?

All right.

First example.

Sentence says she walked me to the station.

She walked me to the station so we're following the past tense.

Walked with the person being accompanied in this case Meat.

She My friend Mimi, She walked me.

She accompanied me to the station on foot is what this means But we use walked to make it nice and short and easy to understand.

She walked me to the station in the second example Sentence Will you walk me home?

It's a request.

Meaning Will you please accompany me home on foot?

So you're within walking distance.

You can walk to your home.

You're asking another person.

Will you please walk with me to my house?

So, to accompany someone on foot, we can use walk to do the third meaning for this is actually more of an advanced meaning.

This meaning is to avoid, as in like, to avoid criminal punishment.

Let's look at some examples of this.

The defendant walked despite a lot of evidence.

I don't think he'll walk.

The judge is tough, so here walk means avoiding punishment, but we use it in like legal situations.

I think the reason is because when a criminal or someone who has been accused of criminal behavior is not convicted, meaning they're not guilty or they're allowed to be free, they're not taken to jail.

They can walk out of the courthouse, or they can walk out of the prison or wherever they're being kept.

Wherever they're being held.

They can walk, so we use the verb walk to mean avoiding punishment.

But it's usually just used in criminal or legal situations, So this is a more advanced use of this room.

But to walk like I don't think he'll walk means I don't think he'll be allowed to go free, so I don't think he'll get away.

I don't think he'll avoid punishment.

I don't think he'll walk.

Now let's talk about a few variations on the verb walk to walk on eggshells to walk on eggshells.

Super interesting eso to walk on eggshells means to exercise great caution.

So, in other words, be really, really careful to be super careful.

So the image eggshells are very fragile.

It's easy to break them.

Soto walk on eggshells means you have to be very, very careful.

Otherwise you'll break the eggshell.

Soto Walk on eggshells means you have to be very careful.

Let's look at some examples of when we might use this expression.

My manager is in a really bad mood today.

Everyone is walking on eggshells.

I had to walk on eggshells at that dinner last night.

So if you don't know this expression walking on eggshells, you might think, What is this person talking about when you hear this expression like everyone is walking on eggshells today?

What?

Ah, but it just means everyone is being really, really careful.

Everyone is being really cautious.

In the first example, my manager is in a bad mood.

Everyone is walking on eggshells today means everyone is being very, very careful because the manager is in a bad mood and people don't want to make him or her unhappy.

In the second example, I was walking on eggshells and dinner last night means I was being very careful at dinner last night.

Maybe it was a high pressure dinner situation, so walking on eggshells means being very careful.

Okay, let's go to the second variation.

So I prepared to variations that are very similar.

Here they are to walk into and to walk in on so very similar to walk into what has one word into into to walk into and to walk in on Let's look a tow walk into first.

So to walk into means to crash into something when walking.

So you're walking, walking, walking and crash into something Examples of this I walked into a wall this morning.

Have you ever walked into a glass door?

Yes, I've walked into a screen doors lto who has not who has not walked into a door seriously and do it all the time.

So it means you're you're walking and you, I hope accidentally you crash into something as you're walking.

Of course, if you want to upgrade this, you can say I ran into a door.

That means your speed is different.

So walk into a door and run into a door.

It's just the speed is different there, but you can change the motion for if you like.

But now let's take a look at to walk in on so different, very different meaning.

Actually, to walk in on Soto walk in on something means to enter a situation accidentally.

It's usually something like kind of scandalous or kind of embarrassing.

You walk in on something accidentally, maybe you don't want to see or you're surprised to see that.

So let's look at some fairly mild examples of this.

First she walked in on us gossiping.

They walked in on us, watching YouTube videos at the office that the on your wanting to hunger.

So to walk in on past tense is my first example.

She walked in on us gossiping.

So what was the situation?

She walked in on accidentally?

Us.

So US meanings.

Some group of people we were gossiping and someone entered that situation accidentally.

It was very uncomfortable.

Oh, no, We were gossiping.

Maybe about that person we don't know, but some kind of awkward or uncomfortable situation.

She walked in on us, gossiping on us, gossiping in the second example sentence.

Ah, they walked in on us watching YouTube videos at the office so again they walked in on us.

In this case, we're watching YouTube videos in the office.

We could, of course, change the sentence like I walked in on my co workers watching YouTube videos in the office.

We could change that around.

It means accidentally entering a situation that's a little bit uncomfortable in some way so you can find many different examples of how this is used.

But I'll leave it up to you.

All right, so those are a few different ways, perhaps for you to use the verb walk.

I hope that it was helpful for you if you have any questions.
