Hello and welcome to Speak American English with Lyman Holton. My name is Lyman Holton.
In this lesson, we’re going to talk about another American English phrase.
Are you ready? Let’s begin.
“put on” and the opposite “take off”
The phrase “put on” is used when talking about clothing. If we’re going to wear a piece of clothing, we say we’re going to “put it on” such as in the case of a jacket or a pair of pants.
If we’re talking about a particular item of clothing we might say something like:
“I’m going to put on my shirt.”
“I’m putting on my shoes, now.”
“I just put on my new suit.”
Or
If we use a pronoun instead of the name of the piece of clothing (like shirt, shoes, or suit) we separate the phrase, and the same sentences would be said as:
“I’m going to put it on.”
“I’m putting them on, now.”
“I just put it on.”
The same rules apply for using the phrase “take off.” If we can put on a piece of clothing, we can also take off that piece of clothing.
For example:
“I’m going to take off my shirt.”
“I’m taking off my shoes, now.”
“I just took off my new suit.”
Or
“I’m going to take it off.”
“I’m taking them off, now.”
“I just took it off.”
Of course, the phrases put on and take off aren’t only used with clothing. For example, we also put things on a shelf and take off from work early.
Here are a few more sentences using “put on” and “take off.”
“She put on her coat and ran out the door.”
“You must take off your shoes when we get inside, or mom will kill you.”
“Please put on your sweater, it’s chilly outside today.”
“Hey Buddy! Why don’t take that cat off your head? Oh, that’s a wig?!”
“Did you see that? That fat-lady torn her jacket when she put it on.”
“Don’t you think it’s time to put on some clean socks?”
“I don’t like that necktie, just take it off! It looks ridiculous.”
“Those boots are so dirty. Why did you put them on?”
“I think I’ll take this off now and put on a clean one.”
In our next lesson, we’ll cover another American English phrase.
Good-bye for now.
