Learn the English Phrases "to get the wrong idea" and "to be in the wrong"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO GET THE WRONG IDEA and TO BE IN THE WRONG

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to get the wrong idea. Now, we usually use this to talk about when someone interprets what someone else says or does and they interpret it wrong. And it usually happens in a situation where someone is just being friendly and the other person might get the wrong idea and think that they're interested in them romantically. Sometimes this will be part of the story in a movie where there's a guy and girl, and the guy is really friendly and the girl happens to get the wrong idea. She thinks that he's being nice because he likes her in a romantic way, but he just wants to be friends. So hopefully you've never been in that situation. You can use this for other things as well. Like, you can say, hey, I'm helping you, but don't get the wrong idea. I'm not going to help you for free every weekend. Like maybe you're helping someone do some work around their house or something. Hopefully I explained that well. I'm trying to rush here because I'll show you the line of dark clouds in a moment. And there's a little bit of thunder over there. I know there's sun behind me.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase to be in the wrong when you are in the wrong. It means that you're the person who made the mistake. Sometimes we use this formally to talk about a car accident. When one car, when one car hits the other, we usually say one person was in the wrong. Okay, that person didn't signal and they turned, or that person crossed into the wrong lane. And so we would say that that person is at fault. That person is in the wrong.

So to review to get the wrong idea means to interpret what someone does or says and to be wrong in your interpretation. And to be in the wrong simply means that you are guilty of doing something. You're the person who didn't signal when they turned, or you're the person who maybe drove into the wrong lane.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Berevilson, a very, very much a longtime viewer. Hi. Great teacher. Bob, I don't have any clue what you're talking about. Kkk, it's not true. Thanks a lot for your amazing job. And I said great use of the phrase. So that's the phrase to not have a clue. And Berevilson, thanks for that comment. Was using that in a good example sentence.

So it looks like we might get a storm today. I'll show you a couple of things. One is if you look in the distance, you can see that the sky is very gray in that direction and it's also very gray in that direction. And if you look on the ground here, you'll see lots of sticks and branches from a week ago. I'll put a clip in here from Jen. Jen caught some, got some footage of the storm. We had quite a storm roll through last week and I hope this one that's coming isn't the same. I'm actually on my way outside to tell Jen that I just looked at the radar and it looks like this storm might hit us. Sometimes a storm will go past, but this one, it's kind of all around us. It's in every direction. You can see the dark clouds. The sun has gone away now. I don't think this storm is going to hit us anytime soon.

Both dogs just barked at me, thinking I'm some strange person. They decided they recognized me and they're going the other way now. But we'll have to see if that storm hits us or not. I think it will. It said on the forecast that there was a 40% chance of rain today. And I can sense it in the air. I feel it in my bones that it's
