Rob:

Hello and welcome to the English We Speak. I'm Rob.


Helen:

And hello, I'm Helen. And today we've decided to come outside for a walk in
the beautiful English countryside.


Rob:

Mmmm, smell the wonderful fresh air. Isn't it great to be outdoors?


Helen:

Oh, well it was…but not now it's raining. Come on Rob, I think we should
head back.


Rob:

Hold on Helen. Not that way! According to the map, it's this way…


Helen:

Rob, you're always wrong. Just follow me but hurry up; we're getting wet.


Rob:

Oh, get lost!


Helen:

Get lost? We are lost!


Rob:

No Helen – get lost – I mean go away, leave me alone. Don't tell me the way
to go.


Helen:

That's not a very nice thing to say.


Rob:

Well, it's what you can say to someone if they're really annoying you. So go
away, get lost!


Helen:

OK, if you say so. I'm off. See you back at the car!


Rob:

I'll get there first! OK, here are some other examples of using 'get lost':



Example

I'm tired of hearing about how you know everything. Just get lost!
Get lost! I'm having a break so don't disturb me.
You say you climbed Mount Everest on your own?! Get lost, I don't believe you.

Rob:

Mmm, saying get lost is quite impolite so you need to be careful how you say it
and who you say it to. Maybe I was a bit rude to Helen. Helen, Helen, come
back…I didn't mean to be so rude.


Helen:

…well you weren't being very nice. Anyway, I was going to come back and
find you.


Rob:

And why was that Helen?


Helen:

Because I got lost. I needed the map!


Rob:

Ha. Well, here it is. Come on follow me.


Helen:

OK Rob. See you next time.


Both:

Bye.


Rob:

Right, it's definitely this way.


Helen:

Are you sure?


Rob:

Yes, that's what the map says.


Helen:

Rob you've got the map upside down!
