Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Sometimes knowing the right idiom can be a matter of life or death. If something is about to hit someone, or something dangerous is about to happen, you have less than a second to say the right thing and save that person from harm. The short and useful phrase you need is look out!

When you say look out to someone, it makes them stop what they are doing and look around and be careful. If someone is about to walk in front of a bus, you would shout look out to stop them.

Of course, look out can be used in less serious situations too. For instance, if you throw a ball at your friend and it’s about to hit him in the head, you could say look out and he might notice the ball in time to catch it.

Can you think of another time it would be helpful to say look out?

Examples

1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

“Hey, look out! You almost ran into me.”

Look out, ma’am! You could get hit by a car in that street.”

You are right. It is an extreme temp. this year. It happens once per 5-10 years. We run from building to building, because if you will last on the street your fingera, face and legs will be dumb

“Sting” was singing on eBaby’s forum I heard the piece of his song about one hour ago.  How could I miss to visit him tonight?


It is -28C outside now. Tomorrow morning will be -30C. Unusual temperature for my country I can say.

Buttafly, I also prefer watch out for. But when you’re listening music in public it’s difficult to watch out for something or somebody :)

Mnal_F, nice one with the love. So true and funny… Look out.. then dunker down or tough it out. The object is approaching. The man on the picture is probably is poining out at the woman, not to fall in love with her…


Snoopy—driving on the winding road.. look out :)
