hurry along. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say to hurry along we

are trying to make something happen more quickly or make somebody do something

more quickly. Okay . Or number 2. We have a second meaning here. Hurry along could

also mean ... it could be used to say that you need to leave or go somewhere quickly.

Yeah. Basically you might say well I have to hurry along now. You could use it that

way. As saying that you simply have to leave. Okay. And then we have a third one

here. It's a little bit in the old-fashioned use. But you still might

hear it now and then . You have definitely seen in older movies a lot. Basically it means to

tell a person, especially a child or especially children to go somewhere

quickly. You know hurry along now. Okay. So let's look at several examples we have

here. Example number one. I know you need this project finished as soon as

possible I'll try to hurry along my workers, so we can get it done as soon as

possible. Yes. This is probably a supervisor and this is along the first one you're

trying to make somebody else do something faster.You're trying to hurry

them along. Okay. Well, let's look at number two. You cannot hurry along the

immigration process. So if you were an immigrant, you put in your application

and it takes you know, and you're really serious about it. It takes a long time,

and that may take a couple of years before everything goes through. The

immigration process your application will be processed when they get around

to it. Yeah. So sometimes we might say that you can't hurry along. So you can

use in the negative as well. All right. Number three here. We need to worry

along now. Or we will be late. Yes. So this is when you're using it as

like a reason to say that you have to leave. I have to hurry along now. You can say

that I have to go. Okay, and number four. Again this is a little bit of an old use,

but you still might hear it Come children, so especially we used to use it

with children. Come children, hurry along now. Let's go to the

lunchroom, so you can have your lunch. Yes Go to the lunchroom, so everybody can

eat their lunch. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for

your time. bye-bye
