Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases OUT OF SIGHT and LINE OF SIGHTIn this English lesson. I wanted to help you learn the English phrase out of sight. You can see this right now, but now it's out of sight. It literally means what it says when you can't see something. It is out of sight. Often people who are doing something illegal, they try to do it out of sight or if they're carrying something illegal and they see the cops, they'll put it out of sight. They'll put it in their pocket, in their back pocket, or they'll stick it in a bag. They'll put it out of sight. So that the police officers can't see it. So it's a very simple phrase. It simply means to put something where someone can't see it or to put yourself where someone can't see you. I can even be out of sight if I want. When I duck down, I'm out of sight.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

So line of sight is an imaginary line between my eyes and what I'm looking at. So between myself and the camera, this is my current line of sight. When I'm sitting in my classroom at the back and a student’s doing a presentation. If another student sits in front of me, they're in my line of sight. I'm not able to see the person at the front. So it's simply an invisible line. If I look at that car driving by. It's in my line of sight. I'm able to see them.So to review when something is out of sight, it means you simply can't see it. And when you talk about your line of sight, it's the imaginary line between you and the thing that you're looking at.But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Shuvra. Thanks, sir. Yes, you should have brought your sunglasses. And then my response next time! You can see I'm wearing them right now. So thanks for that comment. I did remember them. I did find them back they were actually in my van. They were kind of between the seats. Sorry it's really windy out here. They were between the seats and they were kind of covered with some stuff. Hey, I'm not going to walk around today because it is extremely windy. You saw just there.I got blown a little bit. If we turn this way, you can see the tree moving in the wind. So I'm going to just stand and talk in one spot. It's very gusty. I don't know if you know what the word gusty means. When it's gusty outside, it means the wind is blowing and it speeds up every once in a while.So as I was sitting in the house, I thought I could make this English lesson inside or I could just go outside with my good camera, with my really big wind protected microphone. I've never shown you that have I? I'll take a picture of this tripod when I go back inside so that you can see it. But it is windy today.Let's turn this way and then maybe you can see a little bit. I can't help but show you things. That tree is moving. But even though there are no leaves on it, that tree is still moving quite a bit in the wind. So anyways, too windy to make a video, but I'm out here anyways. By the way, speaking of weather it's supposed to get super cold here, wait for it.I'm going to tell you what the temperature is going to be tonight. Drum roll, please. -22 degrees Celsius tonight, Friday night, the same -20, -25. Extremely cold weather. It's actually dangerous to go outside when it's that cold. So I don't go outside at night anyways. I sleep in my nice cozy bed inside my house, but it's going to get super cold here.I’m kind of looking forward to it. That's kind of cool. Anyways, see you in a couple days with another short English lesson bye. Whoa!!Support the show
