Hello, everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.

Today, we have a phrasal verb, but if you look in the dictionary, they give you only one definition.

And I searched online and nobody talks about the definition I will give you today.

The verb is to plug in.

P-L-U-G-I-N.

So look at your computer.

Your computer needs to needs electricity, right?

So how do you give your electricity or how do you give electricity to your computer?

You need to take the cord, the power cord and connect it to the back of your computer, and plug in the other side of the cord or the cable to the wall, into the plug. This is the idea of to plug in, to connect to electricity okay so you can also plug in an electric

guitar to an amplifier you can plug anything into something else to connect it to something else

usually with electricity however today i'm going

to give you another definition we use to plug in in daily conversation when we talk about adding

something to our schedule or adding something to our diet adding something to our work adding something

to our website so this is a very useful expression and once again it just means to add something

to squeeze something in.

So, for example, I try to eat a very healthy diet.

I try to plug in some fruits in each meal, some vegetables too, to add.

Now, most commonly plug in is used as a phrasal verb when we're talking about our

schedule. So check out today's dialogue.

I'm getting fat. You need to plug in an hour a day of exercise. Oh, I'm too lazy.
