Some English words have many uses. In this lesson we look at the usage of the word OVER, especially when talking about ages and speeds. I will talk about the word ABOVE in my next lesson.
His reaction was over my expectation when he lost his job again.

Jon, I am sorry for my English.
Kind regards!

My name is Aysel ,ı am learning english in this webside ,it is very useful for us,you can write me ,ı am from Turkey ,regards
Hello sir
Hii James,
I am actually sorry not to keep your suggestion for writing out a short dialogue.To be honest,I truly wrote one but my fingers pressed the refresh button mistakenly and the total content got vanished from my reach.I promise you to rewrite later as an interesting story is revolving around my brain and I am looking forward to penning down that soon.However, Here I have written five sentences using “over” according to my understanding.
1.The cabie was running the taxi over 120 kilometer when he lost his control and hit a nearby eatery eventually.
2.The well-known wicket keeper cum batsman from Australia,named Gilchrist hit three consecutive sixes over the mid -off.(i.e. Over the fielders head as the ball was not rechable to them-it was out of their reach).
3.The famous Howrah-bridge is over the holy river the Ganges.
4.Imagine,I was standing in front of a drain and I wanted to go to the opposite site.On that context,I could have easily said that I jumped over the drain to get to the opposite end.
5.Last year,Over 10000 devotees visited the Golden temple in Amritshawar in India.
I urge you to correct my sentences if some are found incorrect to help me improve my English..looking forward to having reply soon..

Hi:) Thanks for the video. One question, Does “over” works as a verb too? For example, in the sentence: I’m over you, what’s the meaning of over? (I hear it in a tv show and for the context I guess it’s something like she forgot him, but I’m not sure)
Camila

“The class is over” is correct, but “the class is finish” is almost right — you could also say “class is finished”.

You may be entertained by this famous bridge in North Carolina, USA, which is just a little too low for modern trucks.
I think itsn’t correct,i would say : below….
Thanks, Jon
Very good lesson!!!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
100%. His behavior was over my expectation. Is the sentence above correct?
thank a lot,Jon
So, what about “above”? The teacher is easy-going, told only bout 2 cases of using the “over” word and that’s all. Not liked
Great lesson and thank you Jon.
