BEING ILL-3: meaning and examples

Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having a great day.

Today we will continue with expressions related to being ill. So far we have looked at the following words and expressions:

-To not be feeling well (I'm not feeling well)
-To be ill / to be sick (He's ill.)
-To have a cold (Janet has a cold.)
-To have a fever (Rachel has a very high fever.)
-Head hurts (My head hurts.)
-I'm congested or I have a stuffed-up nose
-General aches and pains

Yesterday we also looked at the difference between ill and sick.

I received a suggestion to review phrases that we can use to let people know that we want them to get better, such as:

Get well soon!

I hope you feel better soon!

OR

I hope you get better soon!

You may also give ill people suggestions of things they can do to help alleviate their suffering, such as:

Get lots of rest.

OR

Drink lots of liquids

However, if you're like me you may prefer not to tell ill people what they should do. ;-)

Can you use one of more of these illness words/phrases in your own, original sentences? You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) and we will give you feedback about your sentences as soon as possible.

Tomorrow will be the last day that we will look at expressions related to being ill. If there is anything specific that you would like to cover, please send me an e-mail. And if you have questions about today's Daily Vitamin content, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great day!
