Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 87. The verb phrase today is
-
hold out for. Hold out for something. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If
-
someone holds out for something, he or she waits patiently to get a better deal
-
or what he desires. What he really wants. Okay. We got three examples. Let's look at
-
example number one. She is holding out for a better deal. We say that all
-
the time. Number two. The owner of that house is
-
standing firm on the price. He is unwilling to accept any lower offers. He
-
is holding out until he gets his asking price. And so a lot of times about money
-
you might be holding out for the price that you want, or the price that you
-
expect or the amount of money that you desire. Okay. Let's look at number three.
-
Another company offered me a lower position, you know a job but in a lower
-
level. But I am planning on holding out until someone offers me the position I
-
want. So again it could be about a job. It's usually some kind of offer. You're
-
holding out until you get what you want or you at least get something better
-
than what somebody has offered you. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.
-
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
