Learn the English Phrases "on good terms" and "on bad terms"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms ON GOOD TERMS and ON BAD TERMS

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase on good terms. When you're on good terms with someone, it means that when you talk to them, they're happy to see you. It means that if you see them in the street and they see you, they'll wave or they'll come and talk to you instead of walking the other way. When you're on good terms with someone, it means you have a good relationship. Sometimes people are married and then they get divorced, but they are still on good terms with their spouse or their ex spouse, I guess ex wife. Ex husband. I don't think we say ex spouse, but they might still be on good terms. This means that maybe they have children and the husband has the children on the weekends and the wife has them during the week, and they talk amicably to each other. They're nice to each other. When they talk, they're on good terms.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is on bad terms. Sometimes when a marriage splits up, they can then be on bad terms. They can leave on bad terms. This is the opposite. This means that they don't like each other, they don't talk to each other, they are not nice to each other. It's just kind of a mess. Maybe if you are on bad terms with someone and they see you from across the street, they just kind of pretend that they don't see you because they don't want to talk to you because you're on bad terms.

So when you're on good terms with someone, it means you're able to talk to them and have a nice conversation. And when you're on bad terms, it means that you just don't really talk to each other. There's probably something bigger wrong than we actually realize if people are on bad terms.

But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Meng. I wonder what time you get off work. The sun is still so bright by the time you get home. And my response right now, I work about 70% of full time. I work from about. I work from about 7:30 until about 2:30. But sometimes I pop out and make a video while I'm at work just to get it done. That's what I'm doing right now. And that's okay. I'm allowed to do that. Also on Thursdays, I'm allowed to leave a bit earlier during the market season.

So, yeah, it's kind of hard to describe. Thanks, Meng, for that comment. It's kind of hard to describe all the ins and outs of how my job works as a teacher. I'm a salaried employee. I'm not paid by the hour. I am allowed to come and go as I please as long as I'm getting my work done and doing things properly and spending a good amount of time at school. About 70% of a normal workday. So yes, and on Thursday, when I made that video last week, I was home a bit earlier, so it was nice and bright.

But I did want to show you these. This, us, Know That asked about these in a previous video and a few of you have commented on them. These are hanging baskets. So my town has hanging baskets. They look better from far away. Actually, if you get close up, they're kind of starting to look a bit brown inside. But if you walk through my town, you will see hanging baskets. There's one there, obviously, and then way over there, there's one as well. You will see these hanging baskets. The town puts them up and then someone comes and waters them, probably every other day or something like that.

In Canada and in most parts of the world, we want our town to look kind of nice. So we have things like hanging baskets. We have things like this flower bed here. Now this doesn't look amazing, but there is some woo
