TO SWEAR (1)

Good morning. I hope all of you had a good weekend. Today's word is: to swear (verb) It is used with various meanings and expressions, and over the next few days we will look at some different uses of this verb. Meaning 1: to say words that are offensive, for example when you are angry at someone. I don't know why, but swear words are often the first words learned by English students (and my six-year old son). We often refer to swear words as four-letter words, since many of them have four letters in them (for example, "shit", "fuck", "damn", etc.). Example 1: David: Shit! I forgot to bring my umbrella and it looks like it's going to rain. Matthew: Okay, but you don't have to swear about it. Example 2: I really like Jason, but sometimes he swears a lot in situations where it's not very appropriate. The other day in a Departmental meeting, he used three or four very offensive four-letter words; I don't think the boss liked it at all. Example 3 Damn it! Can you please shut up! ...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to get angry and swear; I'm just a little nervous about the meeting tomorrow.
