Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack and I'm here with my co host, Sochil and Social.
Today we are in the grammar zone, and I have a couple of phrasal, phrasal verbs and then an adjective, but they all use the word point.
And I thought this might be an interesting one to look at a little bit more closely.
And so our first one is point at.
And what does it mean to point at someone or something?
You just take your index finger usually, and you point it in the direction of that person or thing.
Yeah.
And just make sure it's your index finger and not a different finger.
Yeah.
That might get you in trouble.
