Welcome to E-com Love Idioms and Expressions 31.
In these videos, we'll teach you phrases often heard in romantic comedies
and phrases you can use in your own love lives.
We'll give you some examples and tell you the correct situations in which you can use these phrases.
So, listen carefully, have fun and let's get started!
Today's love expression is:
All right, we know what catch (means), right? We can play catch with a ball.
But, if we catch someone's eye, it means we get their attention.
So, if someone is very beautiful, or a piece of jewelry, or something like that really gets your attention
and that means to catch someone's eye.
So, let's listen to a couple of examples and think about what this expression means.
How was the party last night?
It was pretty good. Lots of single guys were there.
Did anyone catch your eye?
No, not really. None of them seemed too interesting.
Okay, so in this case, it was a negative.
No one caught her eye and that's too bad.
Let's listen to the second example.
That is a gorgeous dress!
Thanks. I was window shopping the other day and it caught my eye. I couldn't resist buying it.
It really suits you. Can I borrow it?
Well, maybe.
Okay, so in this case, it was a nice dress that caught her eye and she bought it.
Okay, so I don't know what catches your eye, but maybe you can try using this phrase next time something grabs your attention.
We'll see you next time.
