  • Hello everyone!

  • Welcome to Idiom 100, where we learn 100 commonly used idioms by native English speakers.

  • All of the explanations are in English, so it might be challenging for you,

  • but just try to imagine the meanings in your head and study hard and soon you'll be able to use these idioms in your conversations.

  • Is everyone ready? Let's begin.

  • Hello again! Nice to see you.

  • Today's idiom is: drag on.

  • Drag on.

  • Alright, do you know the meaning of this idiom?

  • Maybe not, so let's try to picture something in our head to help us understand.

  • Alright, so do you know the meaning of drag?

  • Drag means to pull. To pull or drag, okay?

  • So, let's imagine a big box, okay?

  • And we're pulling or dragging the box, drag and we're dragging and dragging and 5 minutes later, still dragging.

  • Drag on. Drag on. Oh, it's getting kind of tiring and not so fun.

  • Okay, drag on, pulling the box.

  • Alright, so let's listen to some examples and think about the meaning of this idiom.

  • How long has that MC been speaking?

  • I’m not sure, but it's been dragging on for quite some time!

  • Okay, so the MC is speaking for a long time. It's dragging on.

  • Alright, let's listen to another example.

  • Are you getting any of your laundry done?

  • With this bad weather dragging on for so long, my laundry is really piling up.

  • Alright, so the bad weather is dragging on and they can't do their laundry.

  • Okay, so to 'drag on' means to continue, but usually it's a little bit negative.

  • Yeah, it's something that's maybe not fun or interesting, yeah.

  • If something is very exciting, we wouldn't say it's dragging on,

  • but if something is boring or just not so fun, maybe we'll say it's dragging on, okay?

  • So, if you remember another idiom, we can use them together.

  • So, maybe the MC is giving you a speech or your coworker is giving a speech, trying to tell you something

  • and he's just going on and on and on.

  • He's dragging on, but you really want to know what he's trying to say, what is his point, right?

  • He's dragging on, so you can tell him, 'Just spit it out!'

  • Yeah, stop dragging it on and spit it out.

  • Alright, so let's try using these idioms next time and I'll see you around.

Hello everyone!
