Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!
Today’s expression is “the gift that keeps on giving.”
It sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Seeing the words ‘gift’ together with ‘giving’ sort of gives you a rush of good vibes, like the upcoming holidays!
Until you use the phrase with sarcasm.
Anyway, in today’s episode, I answer a question from IG username Zakkvv who asks what is the difference between ‘don’t need’ and ‘needn’t’.
I also crack a joke about gifts – oh, you’re going to love this one!
We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “the gift that keeps on giving”.
And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the adorable Australian movie “Oddball”.
Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!
