Lesson
Hey guys,
Today I wanted to teach a word that is super important to understand properly. I thought of it today when I was in the car and I made a little note to myself on my cell phone just so I could remember to teach it to you.
The word is "Ultimatum"
If you give someone an "ultimatum" it means that you are giving them a very serious choice that they must make between two things. It is not just a regular choice. It is a demand. I'll give you a couple real life examples so you know exactly what I mean.
Here is a girl giving her boyfriend an ultimatum.
Girl: If you don't stop talking to your ex-girlfriend on the phone I will break up with you.
Here is an employee (Steve) giving his boss an ultimatum.
You either give me a 30% raise or I will go and work for another company.
As you can see, these are very serious "either this or that" kind of things. I hope that example makes sense.
I've been feeling great from everyone's support with the "likes" and comments. It makes me keep writing these lessons. Check out my first Spoken English lesson
I also highly recommend this Spoken English Course
It will definitely help you improve your native Speaking and listening level faster than any other method.
Take care and see you here again tomorrow.
