Hi this is Tutor P and this is Noun Phrase 98. The noun phrase today is a
long face. Okay. Let's take a look at the not. If someone has a long face, he or she
has an expression of sadness or a very serious unhappy face. Then we say that
somebody has a long face. Okay. Let's look at several examples here. Example number
one. Hey Max why the long face ? Are you okay ? And this is a very natural way you
may hear it . Even though I sometimes feel a little funny about it because
technically I don't know if this is really a proper sentence but you hear
people say it all the time. Why the long face ? Maybe really you should be saying
why do you have a long face ? But I almost never hear anyone say that directly to
someone. They'll usually say why the long face ? So basically why ? Why do you look
unhappy ? What's wrong ? Anything wrong with you . That's basically the way we use it
Or number two. Now we do use it you know often talking about other people.
Jane has had a long face for several days because she broke up with her
boyfriend. Yeah. It could be. Number three. What's with Bob ? Yeah we always like say
what's with someone ? You know what why did they look so unhappy why has he been
moping around you know, walking around very unhappy with such a long face . Did
someone die or something ? You know it's the way people may talk sometimes. Okay.
Good and number four here. Bob has been
wearing a long face ever since he realized how much money he lost after
that stock he invested in you know, lost a lot of money, basically. So yeah
sometimes if we use a verb with it we might say that somebody is wearing a
long face. Okay. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope is clear. Thank you for your time.
Bye-bye.
