Welcome to another episode of Walk \u2018n\u2019 Talk! This time our characters are at school, so let\u2019s take a moment to check out what they are talking about! So press play and enjoy this lesson by Adam, teacher from Fluency Academy!\u200d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dialogue:<\/strong>\u200d<\/h4>\n

A: Hello, do you know Mike?
\nB: Sure, he\u2019s in my class, I study with him. Why?
\nA: Oh, I just need him to help me, that\u2019s all.
\nB: I have his phone number. Call him!
\nA: Ok, thanks!<\/p>\n

\u200dVocabulary Expansion:<\/strong>\u200d<\/h4>\n

Do you know Mike?<\/p>\n

When you say you \u201cknow someone\u201d it means that person is familiar to you. It can mean that you have already spoken or interacted with that person, or that you simply know them by name, if they are an artist or someone that goes to the same places as you, for example. If you know a lot about someone, you can say you know them \u201cwell\u201d. Check out some example:<\/p>\n

Do you know Mike?
\nI know Claire very well, we are friends.
\nDo you know an artist called Billie Eilish?
\nMy mother knows me better than anyone.
\nI know Jake, we studied together last year.<\/p>\n

I just need him to help me<\/p>\n

Note that when we use the verb \u201chelp\u201d in a sentence, we say \u201chelp + someone\u201d, so it will appear as help me, help her, help them, help Jack, help dad and so on! We don\u2019t need any prepositions between \u201chelp\u201d and the person or thing receiving help. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

I just need him to help me.
\nWe will help Jenny with her homework.
\nCan you help me?
\nJohn is helping my dad.
\nThis book helps me with geometry.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all<\/p>\n

To express that you finished saying what you wanted, or finished asking for what you wanted, in a conversation, in a restaurant or store, the most natural sentence is \u201cthat\u2019s all\u201d, it means you don\u2019t need anything more, but there are other alternatives as well! Let\u2019s check them out:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all.
\nThat\u2019s it.
\nThat\u2019s that.
\nNothing more.
\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n
