There are a lot of idioms and expressions in English that make use of the word ‘hold’. In this lesson, I explain several of them. First watch the lesson, then review the idioms below:
hold on = wait
hold your horses = have patience
hold your peace = remain silent
hold your tongue = shut up
hold up =
1. a delay, something making you wait
2. a robbery
hold my own = to be as good as anyone else
hold my ground = to not change my position
If you can think of any other idioms that use the word ‘hold’, let me know in the comments below.
Hey James,
Please don’t hold your peace!
And same as always keep your ground ^

Hey james you are very confident with you are doing on videos.İt makes you productive also.Your lessons are very catchy but I have one little wish that your videos can be little longer 10 minutes it is not enough man, too short; but I m sure there is a reason for it though. Anyways I would spend my whole time by listen to you if there is more and longer video in this side, honestly.

Do your own web site also, like jamesvid.com:) is that okay for you ? I am not joking you are succesfull as much as the next guy with your body language and acting skills on tv programs. You can make more money:) and also more importantly, get help with much more people who wanst to learn english.

hold one’s breath = cease breathing temporarily
hold it! = calm down!
Dear teacher..
Could you explain ‘..easy to get hold of(f)’. Not sure about single or double ‘f’
You are great Teacher!
Hi James! I have heard this: “hold me” or “can I hold you?” is that mean to give a hug? I’m not sure about that. Thanks a lot

1-to hold a grudge

thank you! ;)
Hey james you are very confident with you are doing on videos.İt makes you productive also.Your lessons are very catchy but I have one little wish that your videos can be little longer 10 minutes it is not enough man, too short; but I m sure there is a reason for it though. Anyways I would spend my whole time by listen to you if there is more and longer video in this side, honestly.
Do your own web site also, like jamesvid.com:) is that okay for you ? I am not joking you are succesfull as much as the next guy with your body language and acting skills on tv programs. You can make more money:) and also more importantly, get help with much more people who wanst to learn english.
Big thanks, very helpful.
hi James,
thanks a lot. Please give a quiz…
don’t get the “hold your piece” one
I really like this video. Old on!!!
Thx james :) !

Hi James,
thank you so much, but I have one question, What is different between hold my own and hold my ground?
O, it’s very interesting.I can use one word(hold) in difference meaning.
Thanks for your lesson.
Hi James!
You are such a great teacher! I think you were born to teach :) I know it’s not easy and very nervous job.
Thank you so much, dear teacher!
Hi James. I’m really appreciating what you are doing here for foreign language students(which means for me at the same time), and i just wanted to say-probably you won’t but- if you need any turkish-english translation for anything, i can do my best with pleasure. Thanks for the lesson.
Very nice teacher, I have learned many things from your lesson
Hold on, Hold on, first of all the Batman t-shirt is awesome! Introducing myself as a fan/student Hi James ;-)
Thanks for this lesson.
Amazing!!! It helped me a lot.

Thank you so much, very useful.
Where is the quiz?
If anyone say, ‘Stop studying English!’, I’ll hold my ground. Thank you.
Oh, it’s very useful) Thank’s a lot))
A lot of meanings the word “hold” has, but it’s easy to remember them when you listen a teacher explaining each case or form, more than read them beacause some time it’s boring to read a lot. Thanks.
Thanks !
