Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions.

You and me every day, come on, let's master English.

Hello everybody, welcome back.

It's time for a daily easy English expression, the podcast.

Thank you so much for listening.

Today we've got a great expression, especially for Friday, the weekend.

So, do you guys have any special plans this weekend? Perhaps you want to watch a movie or a play.

Maybe you will go to a baseball game, something interesting like that, a soccer game, football for most of the world. Well, in this case, we can use the verb catch, C-A-T-C-C-H, to catch a movie, to catch a game.

Now, don't think about it. Why catch? Why catch?

Well, the idea is, you know, if you throw a ball, you catch it with your hands, correct?

Sure.

If you throw a ball to me, a baseball to me, I will catch it with my hands.

Well, in this case, the idea is you're throwing a movie.

You're throwing some sort of entertainment to my eyes. And my eyes are catching it. That's the idea. It simply means to

watch a movie or to watch a game, to watch some sort of entertainment. It's simple. It's great, and I want you guys to use this expression.

But first, let's check out the dialogue.

Yo, Pete, what's up this weekend?

Not much.

You want to go catch a game?

Ah, sounds great.

How about tomorrow?

Oh, boy, it does sound great.
