    ABC location main server Symantec is not updated. For this reason, ABC computers are not updated. Once the server is updated, (we/the company) will automatically update all client computers. another option is to use has/have been... ABC location main server Symantec has not been updated. For this reason, ABC computers have not been updated. Once the server has been updated, all client computers will be updated automatically. Either work. You can play with the wording. Good luck!

    Spring Cleaning and Phrasal Verbs

    It's Sunday evening here in the US. I've spent the weekend spring cleaning. Tell me what the phrase 'spring cleaning' means. If you were to do a little spring cleaning, what would you clean in your house/apartment? Try to use some of the following phrasal verbs in you answer:

     

    clean up

    clean out

    tidy up

    straighten up

    throw out

    give away

    put up

    take down

    get rid of

    air out

     

    Do you have a similar custom in your country or culture?

     

    Cheers,

    Would you take a 20% pay cut to have more time?

    Many people are increasingly finding that being in the 'rat race' isn't for them, and work to find alternative ways to make a living. Would you take a 20% pay cut if it meant less stress and more free time to do whatever it is you enjoy?

    A dog that doesn't bark?!? I think that's a good thing! That is the kind of dog I wish my neighbor owned.

     

    "Edge of the boots" works to describe the fur. You can also say "trimming the boots" the trim is the fabric on the edge of any piece of clothing.

    Have you ever...

    Have you ever made an "impulse purchase" that you later regretted?

     

    What did you buy? Why?

    Great work!

     

    Here's my list of common negative prefixes:

     

    in-(intolerant), un-(unintentional), non-(nonconformist), de-(destabilize), dis-(disarm), a-(atypical), anti-(antiobiotics), im-(impatient), il-(illiterate), and ir-(irresponsible).

     

    ab- (from Latin) works too, as in apart or away from. Thanks, Oussama!

     

    Plus under- from Valentin.

     

    That makes 12!

     

    Any more?

    Prefix Challenge

    How many English prefixes can you come up with that have a negative, or opposite meaning, for example, 'anti' - as in 'antibiotic'?

     

    I can think of 10 (including the one above), but maybe you can come up with more!

    Good.

     

    These are perfect examples. So you can use it when you arrive at a location (Here we are! We made it!)

     

    or

     

    You can use it when you have a final result, when everything comes together (He pulled the pizza out of the oven and said, "Here we are. Let's eat!" or ... The last boy got onto the school bus. The driver closed the door and said, "Here we are. Let's go!" or ... The girl reached over the table for the ketchup and put some on her hamburger saying, "Here we are! Much better!).

     

    Here are more examples:

     

    "Winter break is over and here we are again."

    "So here we are, three years later. What's changed?" - This is interesting. It refers to a location in time, not physical location.

     

    Can you think of other examples?

    Here we are!

    "Here we are" is an interesting English expression.

     

    Can you describe an example of a situation when you can use "Here we are"?
