  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 156. The verb phrase today is

  • spring for. Okay. Let's take a look the note. Yeah. We have two meanings today to cover.

  • So we'll have examples to cover both of these meanings. Let's look at the note

  • here. If someone springs for something, he or she pays for something expensive or

  • something on an average day he or she would be unwilling to pay for. So we

  • wouldn't normally get this. So they're springing for it. They're paying more

  • than they normally would. That's why they spring for it. Okay. Let's look at the

  • second meaning too. If someone springs for something , he or she leaps. They jump or

  • you know, basically dashes for something. Okay. Good.

  • All right. So let's look at the four examples here. Example number one. I

  • wouldn't usually pay so much for a big-screen TV, but it was such an

  • incredible sale I decided to spring for it. So normally you know, I wouldn't get

  • this. But I couldn't refuse the sale. So I said yeah sure why not ? Let's do it.

  • Something like that or number two here. Since today is your birthday I'll spring

  • for lunch. Yeah. We often say it like when we're going to treat somebody. Just like

  • I said before. So you're springing for lunch. You know, you're going to pay for that

  • person. It's their birthday. So you're going to do something nice for them. Okay. Or

  • number three here. When the earthquake struck that vase on one of my shelves

  • started to move or shake, so I sprang for the shelf and caught it as it was about

  • to fall to the floor. So you had you move quickly to spring for it. And the last

  • example we have here. That cat sprang for a mouse running by and caught it. Okay. So

  • the cat running by or mouse running by. And he just jumped up, caught it. Got it.

  • So he's sprang for it. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.

  • Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
