Since Christmas has become very close and I am enveloped
Lots of gifts
This lesson will be filled with expressions
Which uses the word “wrap” to “wrap”
Some of these expressions will be complex actions
Such as “wrap up” “wrap”
Others will have terms like
Let’s keep this “under the covers”
One thing they all share
You will hear them in the talks
Always
So, this word contains a silent character
If you feel difficulty in uttering this word
That’s probably because you’re trying to make a sound
Where no need for this sound
These two words wrap and rap
They utter exactly the same way
The letter w is silent
Because the sound rourer is at the beginning of the word
he is strong
To issue that sound my tongue withdraws
Back in my mouth and rises very slightly in the middle
My tongue is not touched
Both sides of my tongue
They push gently toward my upper teeth
Wrap
Wrap
Now the past time of wrap is wrapped
It is a regular past action so we add ed
But the word that Ed is more like
The sound of t
Wrapped
Not rapid
That is a completely different word
It means speed or suddenly
The word wrapped is also a mean noun
The thing when it is covered
This gift is packaged
These gifts are not
Here in Australia we use the word wrapped too
For half the feelings of people when they are
Jubilant or very happy with something
It is an unofficial expression, never a word
But it is very useful if you are talking to Australians
They are usually spelled out
He will be very happy to hear the news
My mother rejoiced a lot when I heard
I’ll be in Melbourne for Christmas
Now there is a very complex composite action
You may have heard him or seen him before
Wrap up
Now start, this composite verb wrap up
It has the same meaning as wrap
An act that means to cover something
Usually using paper or thin material
I need to pack these gifts
Or need to pack these gifts
You can use either
They have the same meaning
Can you pack this cheese
And put it in the fridge for me?
You can also wrap someone with clothes or blankets
Usually to protect them eg baby or toddler
it’s cold outside. Cover it well and tightly
In all these examples the composite action needs to be done
We are trying to explain what we are enveloping
But wrap up has another meaning
It also means
Finish the thing or complete it
We have to finish this work, it seems that the rain is about to fall
I’m so glad we finished our job
Now we can only enjoy the holiday
Have you finished that project?
Or are you still working on it
Good. Here’s another boat
Wrap around or wrap round
The meaning is quite literal
It means putting something about something else
You should note that when using this compound act
You have to explain what the thing is about the other thing
It’s there with a purple apron
Cabbage around.
The purple apron is wrapped around
He has a tattoo wrapped around his left arm
It’s a nice drawing
I love the way she turned her arm around his waist
Each of the small scones was wrapped in an arc
It was very nice
These are my favorite uses
It’s similar to owning
Someone wrapped around your finger
or
Your little finger
This term means owning
Full control of that person
This is pretty bad
Because if you own someone
Wrapped around your finger you can control them
Or make them do what you want
My daughter’s daughter owns her father
Twisted around her little finger
She can do anything you love or want
Will never fall into trouble
He buys her everything she asks for
“It’s like a snap in her finger”
Once it becomes wrapped around your finger
Ask him to take you with him to Paris on his next trip
Keep something under the covers
This expression is used to say that thing
Hidden or secret
We have really good news, but we try
Keep it under wraps until my mom arrives here on Friday
The government failed to keep the news under the covers
Let’s try to keep it under the covers until the end of the week
That is the end
Or it’s the end
Remember that I mentioned earlier that the composite act
A “wrap up” also means that it ends?
Good expression is similar
It is used to declare the end of something
It’s usually said exactly at the moment
Where an activity ends, to say
That thing has been successfully completed
All good! That’s the end!
It’s usually used at the end of a film’s preparation
Or when you finish shooting
That is the end
Well, not quite
But those are all expressions
Which I wanted to share with you
Using the word wrap
Did you know many of them?
I hope you have got some new expressions
