We are talking about 10 funny English phraseological units. Write it down - it will come in handy:
1. If you want to say that there are a lot of people somewhere (there is no room for an apple to fall), the British will say that there is no room to swing a cat: “No room to swing a cat.”
2. When the probability of something is very low, a Russian will say: “When the crayfish whistles on the mountain,” a Frenchman: “When the rooster has teeth,” and an Englishman: “Pigs might fly.”
3. If you ask the wrong person for something, an Englishman will say that you are barking up the wrong tree: "You"re barking up the wrong tree."
4. But it’s better to forget the expression everyone knows from school: “It’s raining cats and dogs” (“it’s pouring like buckets”): in England no one uses it anymore
5. The British have many proverbs related to food and drink. Everyone knows the expression “a piece of cake” (“easy as pie”). But if someone needs to explain that it would be good to already decide - either one or the other, they will say: “You can”t have your cake and eat it” (“You can’t keep the cake and eat it at the same time”).
6. An accusation like “whose cow would moo” sounds very elegant in English. The British in this case will say: “The pot calling the kettle black” (“The pot stained with soot calls the kettle black”).
7. When something goes wrong, an Englishman will say: “Things went pear-shaped.”
8. And when talking about an overly expensive purchase, in England they say: “It cost me an arm and a leg” (“It cost me an arm and a leg”).
9. If a British person says that he needs to spend a penny (“spend a penny”), it means that he needs to go to the toilet.
10. Perhaps one of the strangest expressions: “Bob’s your uncle,” which means: “Voila, it’s in the bag.” Even the British themselves cannot explain who Bob is and why he is your uncle.
To consolidate these phraseological units and learn new ones, we recommend going to study English in England.
There are several verbs in the English language that are not very common, and their use is not always clear to people who have just begun to learn the language. One of these verbs is the verb to be, and is, in turn, is one of the forms of this verb. So what does is mean? Is is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb to be. Simply put, we can only use it after the words he (he), she (she), it (it) or words that can be replaced by this pronoun. For example: President, this word can be replaced by the pronoun he, accordingly, after it in English there will be is. But we cannot replace the word clouds with any of these pronouns; only “they” is suitable for it, which is not in this list. Therefore, we can no longer use is after it.
So, the verb to be, and therefore its form is, can be used as:
- a semantic independent verb, i.e. a verb that carries the meaning of being or existing. For example: He is at home - He is at home. The meaning of the word is is that he IS at home, but in translation into Russian this word is superfluous, and we omit it. Or She is beautiful - She is beautiful (She IS beautiful). The fact is that in Russian a sentence can do without a verb, but in English there must be a verb;
- auxiliary verb, i.e. a verb that helps form tense forms for other verbs. In such cases, it is not translated at all, but serves as an assistant. For example: She is writing a letter now. - She is writing a letter now. The tense is present continuous. Here it is important to remember how this or that tense is formed, and is itself will also be in the 3rd person, singular, present tense;
- modal verb, i.e. a verb that does not itself denote any action, but expresses an attitude towards it. It expresses either a planned action or instructions and orders. And always after is in such sentences there is a particle to. In such cases, is is translated as “should,” but with different meanings. Let's look at examples that will explain everything to us. Marry is to arrive on Friday – Mary must arrive on Friday (planned action). The boss says he is to call her, because it is his job - The director says that he should call her because it is his job.
This is what is means... Of course, it cannot be studied separately, because it is closely related to other forms of the verb to be, which can only be understood together. Only when the grammatical material is mastered in the system will it be easy to master it.
Where did the expression “leave in English” come from and what does it mean? January 11th, 2014
Leave in English- leave without saying goodbye. This is what they called in the 18th century those who left the ball without saying goodbye to the hosts. Although the British themselves attribute the roots of this bad habit to the French, and they “turn the arrows” to the Germans. Suffice it to say that the English say “to take French leave” (literal translation “to leave in French”), and the French “filer à l’anglaise” (to leave in English), although both are translated into Russian as “ leave in English."
How did this expression appear?
Presumably this phrase appeared in English during the Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763). French prisoners of war left the unit without permission, and then the caustic phrase “to take French leave” appeared in the English language, which means “to leave in French.” In retaliation against the British, the French turned it upside down, and it began to sound “Filer à l’anglaise” (in English, “to take English leave”), which means “to leave in English.” In the 18th century, both phrases were used in relation to those guests who left the ball without saying goodbye to their hosts.
According to another version, this expression appeared thanks to the English lord Henry Seymour, who, having lived in Paris for a long time, used to leave evenings without bowing to his hosts. He was a big eccentric, he was considered a person with oddities. For his tricks, he received the nickname 2my Lord Polonok.” His favorite pastime was to dress up as a coachman, sit in his place, and then, having created a mess on the roadway, calmly merge with the crowd, reveling in his dirty tricks.
Another version is related to the difference in etiquette between the British and the French. Presumably, it was not customary for the former to say goodbye to their hosts when leaving a dinner party. According to another version, everything was exactly the opposite: it was such a tradition in France.
In fact, the British have always been very prim and adherent to a polite and helpful tone. Today they no longer say “leave in English” or “leave in French.” Now they adhere to the expression “to leave without saying goodbye” - “to leave without saying goodbye.” At least this is not offensive to anyone.
For example, “pardon my French” - excuse the expression (sorry for my French), “to assist in the French sense” - do nothing (help like a Frenchman). Similar lexical studies, which reflect a negative attitude towards other nations, exist in many languages. They testify to those times when the countries of native speakers were enemies.
By the way, here's another follow-up. Do you know where the expression came from; “I’m speaking to you in Russian!!” ? I'll tell you now.
Today, when we try to convey something to children who, as usual, do not understand anything the first time, we menacingly say: “I’m speaking to you in Russian!” Usually the phrase is spoken at high volume. But this expression has a rather unusual past, dating back to the relationship between nobles and peasants...

There are a lot of expressions and sayings in use in the Russian language, the meaning and especially the origin of which is not known to everyone. Don’t forget to add us to your bookmarks, because we post educational information every single day. Today we will talk about a proverb that is popular even in our time, this Leave in English, which means you can read it a little later.
However, before you continue, I would like to show you a couple more very interesting articles on the topic of phraseological units. For example, what does Respect and respect mean? the meaning of the phraseological unit The non-commissioned officer's widow flogged herself; which means In war, as in war; the meaning of the phrase will stop a galloping horse, etc.
So, let's continue, Leave in English what does this expression mean?
Leave in English- means leaving without saying goodbye
There are several versions of the origin of this proverb:
First version. Did you know that this expression originally sounded in French as “Filer à l’anglaise”. Strange isn't it? However, the roots of this catchphrase go deep into the history of relations between the frogs and the British.
It turns out that the authors of this proverb are the French, as you probably already understood.
This old story began during the Seven Years' War, which took place from 1756 to 1763. At that time, there was a relatively lenient attitude towards French prisoners of war, so much so that they could leave their location without permission. In connection with this, the British have a rather sarcastic saying - “to take French leave”, which can be translated as “to leave in French”. The frogmen were greatly offended by this attitude, and they could do nothing better than to distort this proverb - “Filer à l’anglaise” (leave in English). After some time, both expressions began to be used equally, and they were used in relation to those people who left the ball without taking the trouble to say goodbye to the hosts of the “party.”
Second version. According to which there was such a person in France, his name was Henry Seymour, he did not really respect the paddling pools, and therefore left all the events without saying goodbye to the hosts of the ball. Everyone considered this lord a little strange, and for his eccentricities he was nicknamed “my Lord Polonok.” This entertainer Henry loved to cause a commotion, for example, one day he disguised himself as a coachman, sat down on a carriage, and deliberately caused an accident. After that, he jumped to the ground and quickly got lost in the crowd of onlookers.
Third version. In this case, the whole difference in the ethics of the French and the Britons is revealed. According to etiquette, the British could leave a dinner party without saying goodbye. However, some evil tongues claim that everything was the other way around; it was the frogmen who did not like to say goodbye to their owners.
We all know that the prim and pedantic English always maintain a helpful and polite tone. Nowadays in the West, no one uses the phraseology “Leave in English”; everyone says “to leave without saying goodbye.” This expression is more tolerant and does not offend the whole country.
After reading this short article, you will now be aware of What does it mean to leave in English?, and now you can adhere to the appearance of etiquette if you didn’t pay attention to it before.
