Hello, dear students! 👋
Welcome to our English4All Friday Conversation Club! Remember, we meet every Friday at 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM 🕗🕖, and students from different groups come together to practice real, natural English. It’s not about perfection — it’s about connection! 💬🌎
Today’s page title is:
❓ What gets on your nerves?
🧠 What does it mean?
The expression “to get on someone’s nerves” means:
👉 To annoy someone.
👉 To irritate someone.
It’s a very common and natural expression in English.
For example:
- 🔊 Loud chewing gets on my nerves.
- 📱 When people talk loudly on the phone in public, it gets on my nerves.
- ⏰ Being late all the time really gets on my nerves.
It’s similar to saying:
- “That annoys me.”
- “That irritates me.”
- “That bothers me.”
But “gets on my nerves” sounds more expressive and emotional 😅
🗣 How can you answer the question?
Here are some useful structures:
✅ Basic Structure:
It gets on my nerves when…
I can’t stand it when…
It really annoys me when…
💬 Examples you can use in the club:
- It gets on my nerves when people interrupt me.
- I can’t stand it when my internet is slow.
- It really annoys me when someone doesn’t say “thank you.”
- One thing that gets on my nerves is bad customer service.
🔄 Follow-up Questions You Can Ask
To keep the conversation flowing (remember, this is a conversational club! 😉), you can ask:
- Why does it bother you?
- How do you usually react?
- Do you say something or stay quiet?
- Has it always bothered you?
