Tired and Exhausted! - New Words

in #steemenglish6 years ago

Hey Steem Friends,
In today's video I want to introduce you to an idiom that people might use when they are tired or exhausted.

Tired (adjective): in need of sleep

Exhausted (adjective): very tired

Idioms are hard to learn, but important to learn. Today's idiom is "burning the candle at both ends." This idiom is used when a person is working so hard that he/she can not maintain good physical and mental health.

As always enjoy the video. Be sure to ask questions or leave comments below!
