what mean (get a life)
Hello Axmed,
Listen to these songs with LYRICS. Both title : Get a life
youtube.com/watch?v=3wZGPRTK0Cs
youtube.com/watch?v=EEVq2qVMXUE
These songs will help you understand the" get a life " 'meaning.
Get a life is an idiom.(informal expression) = used to tell sb to stop boring and do something more interesting. Usually it is an ironic expression, sarcastic remark or gesture.
- Do me all a favour -get a life! (ironic expression)
Similar terms: “Get a job!” " Has no life. “Get a house .” “Get a car.” " Get a girl"
or: It is applied so called workahoholic when you want him to say :to relax you can say instead of it: Get a life! = Relax = Don’t work yourself to death.
But :when you say get your own life = mind your own business = Don’t work yourself to death.

Sorry every body, I made a finger crossed here for a while Mr. Axmed!
A.S. Honrnby’s who was the author of The Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary------
he wrote in his English language writing patterns,or he tried to show us,
what you write about "Verb’ in English, it will be 69 patterns.
I will have you all speaking English within a year.
Sub + verb + noun/pro + present participle, it is one of the patterns among 69.
is to
am to
are to , it is one of the patterns.
Answer to Mr. Minhajquazi.
According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
1.every is a determiner = all the members of a group
-every student
-every word
-every minute
-every dead body (was identified)
- means all possible
I wish you every success
3.used to say how often sth happen or is done
-The bus goes every 10 minutes
BUT:
everybody( (pronoun) = everyone ( it is written as one word)
-Everybody knows Tom.
-Have you asked everybody?
-Didn’t you like it? Everybody else did.
-Sorry everybody…
I hope that we agree in that the above forms are inflected forms of the auxiliary verb u be to[/u].
more example in inflected forms:
He is to be pities.
It is to be desired that everybody know the healthy life style.
It is to be feared that women and children be/are among the victims.
How sorry I am to disturb you.
I am to go.
We are to make to London next morning.

Yes, kati, you are 100% right.
I occasionally do wrong but it happens much when my browser doesn’t work like now.
This difference is very much important that I learned two years ago at odesk
vocabulary test. I scored only 3.60 out of 5. My time is very much constrain but
my zeal in English language drives me to do so!
like:That/which
Amiable/Amicable
Epidemic/Endemic/Pandemic
Censor/Censer
Latter/Later
Everyday/Every day
etc--------
a lot of we must make us acquainted with them too!
Hello Minhajquazi,
I am happy that we agree. “To err is human” (of latin origine) or “The horse has four legs, still the stumbles” -a Hungarian proverb.
Otherwise, these helping verbs …
used to cause me problems, that’s why I answered Axmed’s question.
Take care:
Kati Svaby
