CAN'T STAND DOING

Good morning everybody. Today's expression is: can't stand doing something; can't stand something/somebody or can't stand it when... It means: to hate or to have a strong dislike for something/somebody or for doing something. Example 1: My dog can't stand it when I go to work. He gets upset and barks very loudly. (bark = ladrar) Example 2: I can't stand watching dubbed films. For this reason I'm very pleased with DVDs. Now I can watch films in their original version with subtitles in my language! Example 3: Lucy can't stand Edith. However, since they work in the same office she has learned to hide her feelings. For this expression we have another example from a song. The Police sang "I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you." As you can see, sometimes songs can be an excellent way to learn or review new expressions and vocabulary.
