Or somebody broke for like a period of time, like for a reason to rest. So let's look at the first ... Let's look at the notes here. If someone breaks for a particular place he or she starts suddenly running toward it. So they broke for it. For whatever reason they got scared or they have to rush or they had to hurry or it was an emergency. They, they broke for it. They're running towards a particular place. Number two. To stop working or doing something usually temporarily for a particular reason. All right. So those are the two meanings. Let's look at four examples that cover all of these meanings. Number one. When someone yelled fire, Like fire ! Yes. she broke for the exit door in order to escape. Yes. So she started running. Of course , she thought it was an emergency. She started running for the exit door very suddenly. All right. Number two. When that deer spotted a hunter, it broke for the woods. Yeah Deer are very nervous animals. It may not even have to be a hunter. Just someone that they thought look suspicious. They just they may look. They may stare and then they may just suddenly start to run. All right. Let's look at number three here. Let's break for lunch. We will restart in two hours. Yes. This means you know to stop temporarily for a reason. The reason here is lunch. Maybe they're hungry . Maybe they need a rest. Or and the last one. That University broke for spring break. In the US, this is common during the spring semester. They usually have the students take off for about a week in middle of it. That's referred to as spring break, Classes will resume in another week. So after that week is over. You got to get back. You got to start classes again. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
