0:00.0	Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions.
0:11.0	You and me every day, come on, let's master English.
0:29.9	Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.
0:34.3	Today's expression, it's a long one, but it's a good one.
0:41.2	Listen carefully, the tide has turned for somebody or something.
0:47.8	The tide has turned against somebody or something.
0:50.9	So T-I-D-E, Tide. Now, this is a word that refers to the water in the ocean, the ocean water. So we have
0:59.4	something called high tide and low tide. High tide means when the water is high. So if you've
1:08.6	been to the ocean, you know at some times of the day the water is high. So if you've been to the ocean, you know at some times of the day, the water
1:14.6	is high and then the water is low. That is low tide. Okay. So if you are a fisherman and you want to
1:25.8	park your boat and go home, do you want to park your boat in low tide or high tide?
1:35.8	I'm not really sure because I've never fished in the ocean, but I'm thinking if you park your boat at
1:43.6	high tide, then your boat would be closer to your home.
1:49.7	But I don't know.
1:51.0	Once again, I'm not sure.
1:52.2	But if it's true, if you want to park your boat at high tide because it's closer to your home, then you can say the tide has turned for you. This is the idea.
2:05.8	If something is going good, the tide has turned for you. If something is going bad, the tide has turned against you.
2:21.8	And we can make it shorter. We can just say, the tide is for me, the tide is against me. Do you understand? So if the tide is for you, things are good.
2:31.1	You're lucky. Everything looks really good. If the tide is against you, things are not so good.
2:37.0	Things look very difficult.
2:39.0	Does that make sense?
2:40.0	Well, check out the dialogue.
