Hi, everyone!

Welcome back to another lesson here at ForB's English.

I'm Gabriella and in today's lesson, we're looking at a new type of English phrase.

The phrase is "in a pickle".

Do you know what this means?

Let's take a look at a sample conversation using this expression.

So person A says "I'm in a pickle."

Person B says "Why? What happened?"

Person A replies "My car just broke down on the motorway."

Person B says "Oh no! Where are you now?"

OK. So the expression "to be in a pickle" does not just mean food,

so usually "a pickle" is a vegetable that is soaked in vinegar and it's usually kept in a jar.

However, the meaning comes from being stuck in a situation.

It means to be in a difficult situation.

So just imagine being trapped or stuck in a jar of pickles, but it's a real-life situation.

So in the example conversation, the person is stuck on the motorway;

they have broken down, so this is a difficult situation.

They cannot move and they need to go somewhere.

So person A called person B and said, "I'm in a pickle."

It also is a way to ask for help or maybe if you need some advice,

you can say "I'm in a pickle."

So it can also be used to make a difficult decision, to describe making a difficult decision.

I'm in a pickle.

I don't know what to do.

Should I do this or should I do that?

So let's practice this phrase together.

Please repeat after me.

In a pickle.

In a pickle.

So let's practice this sample conversation together.

I will be B, so you will be A. Are you ready?

OK. Person A.

Why, what happened?

Oh no! Where are you now?

Excellent.

Good job.

Well done.

Keep practicing.

I'm Gabriella.
