What does it mean to be in someone’s good books? Have you ever been called a bookworm? In this English lesson, you will learn 13 common expressions that have the word ‘book’ in them. I’ll teach you how to use hit the books, don’t judge a book by its cover, by the books, to have the book thrown at someone, the oldest trick in the book, and many more.
She is amazing and she likes French! :) I love this website!!!
dboyko
yeah..i think sooooo
yotatoty
Yep!!! I agree with you Odai.
Dear Emma many thanks for this interesting lesson on book idioms.
Idioms always make language more colorful, although some of them are not that easy to remember and and much less put into real practice right away. Today’s lesson is not the case, believe me!!!
Thanks a million again for your great work and commitment.
Have a fantastic weekend Emma!!!

Regino
Thanks very good Emma

brala
What a useful lesson. We terribly need that kind of thing. Thanks a lot.
Awesome! I got 10/10 although I wasn´t very sure about the meaning of try every trick in the book I think the option ´He likes the smell of milk´could´ve worked! Io sono uno studente meraviglioso! Baci a tutti. Ciao!
Massimo
hi Emma, your language is so fast that makes us challenging. anyway like this style.

You’re awesome Ichakushina! I’m glad you enjoy the site!
Emma
I have watched 322 videos. I agree to ichakushina……Thanks Emma, Thanks Engvid.
geochemist
Good for you Ichakushina, but with all due respect, the question here is:
How much have you really learned and been able to put into real practice in your day-to-day activities?
Practice makes a big difference when it comes to learning a language, don’t you think so?
Congratulations Ichakushina!!!
Keep on the good work and see you around!!!
Regards
Regino
Hi,I know this has nothing to do with this video. However, I’m hoping my concern will be addressed. Using prepositions in, on, and at is easier if we apply them in/on transportation, place and time. What I’m not really certain of, is using it in/on concepts. I.e. “On this marriage” or “In this marriage”? “On that issue” or “In that issue”? “In this situation” or “On that situation”? ” On that matter” or In that matter”?
rjmanla
Hello there. I have read in a grammar book I purchased that subjunctive mood should be used in condition of uncertainty. Example. If she have the money, she will make it in the city.
I used to use has for the third person. I would like to clarify this, because there are some English novels which use has instead of have. :)
rjmanla
Thank you so much , it was really good .
Noor
Thank’s Emma
I got 9 out Of 10
In my book you’re a good English teacher
ramlanhalimi22
I got 10 correct out of 10.
80 % credit goes to Emma because you have prepared a lot of material to understand us or pour into our mind at worldwide level and with lot of examples. We people just watch 10 minutes such type of vedio and judge ourselves while you might take 10 hours to make such a lesson.
In Muslim history, Forth Caliph HAZRAT ALI R.A said that “Who has taught me single word he is my teacher”.
So how can i decline that you are not my teacher. You have an excellent accent.
Welldone! Keep on it.

that was very difficult lesson for me.
how should easy to understanding this topic?
this quize i have a got 4 collecut out of 10.
thanks emma
ichi345nobu
Four out of ten in still good. It means you’ve learned four new expressions. Well done! Practice the four you did well on and use them in conversation.
I’d recommend learning maybe two expressions from the video a week. Practice them, look up their meanings on http://www.urbandictionary.com if you don’t understand the video.
Then in a month or two try the quiz again and see if you’ve improved.
Emma
it was very good but to me icant understand when the american talk fast and i need it because i have to make a test of 100 listening pls can u help thanks emma

Thank you again, Ema. I LOVE and need this kind of lesson. The words change their meanings.Keep up with this kind of lesson, this is idiomatic expressions.
PAULO - BRAZIL
I like very much Engvid and I enjoy your tests so I can see if I understood your lessons . By the way you forgot an interesting and important expression:
to cook the book. I watched it in my idiomd dictionary.
Is it correct to say I never cook the book with the test’s results (engvid of course !)? Kind regards Francis
vilainpetitcrapaud
Thanks for your comment.
Here is a link to a definition of “cook the book” for anyone interested:
The example is a little strange because it’s not usually used in a test situation. It’s used in business, and is illegal.
Here’s an example: The president of the company is cooking the books. He’s been stealing money from the company and changing the financial records.
Emma
Also in the USA and Canada presidents steal their companies! ! ! so it is a phenomenon in the world.. not only in Jordan my country thanks ALLAH. thank you Emma

Hi Emma,
First of all, I want to thank you especially for your lessons very useful and thank the entire team “engvid” that makes a precious service for those who have a serious attention to learn English. Personally since I found your site out I felt a satisfactory progress.
Secondly, about expressions on “book”, could you explain this one “wrote the book on”?

Thank you very much Emma…Excellent lesson
argenis
Hi Emma. I like your videos. This one is great. A funny real story about snails. My friend’s wife cooked snails very delicious, but he had never eaten them. When his friends came to his home they always ask him: “are there any snails”? And ate them all :). It keeps maybe about a year. At last he decided to try (to have) this extraordinary dish. And he was excited. He liked it. But I have never eaten them yet. Maybe on this summer I’ll try. Sorry for possible mistakes. Have a good day.

Good day Emma,
In my book,you are shy and awesome teacher, that’s way -in my book- I always understand you ,so would you please teach us another lesson about the all cases in which we reverse the subject and the verb. (verb + subject) it’s a permanent question in the TOEFL here in Jordan.
mansour1
Sorry- I hope I haven’t misused the word awesome
I hope it means beautiful! ! ! ! sorry for the inconvenience- I beg your pardon ( I am just a learner of foreign language yet)I checked the Google dictionary later the meaning was (horrible)
mansour1
You are a really good teacher in my book.
I want to ask for an expression I’ve heard when somebody has many compromises and little free time this person is overbook
Is it correct¡?
totechess
My American pals pretty often use the phrase ‘in my book’ (= in my opinion / view) …
sabbatical
HI,TEACHER EMMA….CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO FOR USING “TAKE” I’M REALLY CONFUSED …
I’M HOPING THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT… SOONER
nikki19
Thank you Emma! I enjoyed watching the lesson.
sgmmm
Quite useful these expressions Emma but I’ve got a question. Why don’t you use gerund instead of infinitive at the first expression? ( he loved to read) Thanks!
daiki14
I wish I were confortable whit those expressions. But why not say “in my opinion”? It’s about formal/informal. Can we use them any time, always or maybe in a specific context?
Anyway you are the best. It’s not a compliment. For me it’s important you speak French because it is a Romance language. So you can understand structures like subjunctive, etc. À bientôt !

Hi Emma! What are your favourite books?
Kaliostra
Thank you for this video, it’s great! I must tell you that snails are a very good taste. In Spain, we eat them with an oil olive and garlic sauce named “Alioli”. At first snails must be cleaned (we give them to eat flour for clean their stomachs) and then they are boiled. You can eat them with a toothpick in order to extract them from the shell.

Abdul Qayum
Hi Emma, can the expression “Don’t judge the picture by the frame” be considered similar to “Don’t judge the book by its cover”?
Sammy77
Hello, Emma! Thanks a lot for your lessons! I really appreciate the way you get across new expressions through context and situations, not just sentences. That makes their meaning much clearer. But I` dlike to ask if it`s possible to say “be in someone`s bad books” as the opposite to “be in someone`s good books”, meaning to be disliked and kind of suspected. For example, if I have a student, who is neither bright nor hardworking, and I dislike him and whenever there is a petty committed I often suspect it is he who did that, can I say “He is in my bad books”? Once again thanks a lot and good luck!
Olga Pin
Hi Olga! I wasn’t sure, so I looked it up, and “bad books” is an expression! “Black books” means the same thing, but it is more British — it must be where the name of the TV show Black Books comes from. (It’s a comedy about an unfriendly bookstore owner — so the name has a double meaning.)

lidac
in my book engvid is one of the great sites to learn english.Now,another point to consider is that we also have to hit the books if we want to succeed in everything.It is of the utmost important to read a lot if u want to build up your english vocabulary,I mean, not to be an bookworm exactly but read at least what necessary is to meet new words and gain confidence XD
alianzalima
If i want Emma to recognize me as her one of the best student, I have to get 10 score because it is the oldest trick on the book.

I’m so grateful to engvid.com. Thank you, Emma, for this educating and memorable lesson. By the way, I’m a bookworm, and I hit the books whenever I have time for it. And there is one thing that I don’t like in my character, this is I do everything by the book. I’ve fallen into the habit of doing it so. I cannot break off this habit.
Kind Regards,
Roya.

Hi Emma, in my book, eating snails is very delicious, welcome to algeria for testing

very nice lesson, i tried to use all phrases and write an essay on present Indian government policy:
In my book, the thought of demonetization is an open book, some media being closed book throws the book at pm of the country. Some parties trying every trick in the book to blame him! But he is in the teachers good books. Some economists read this policy like a book and guide all sections of people by the book. Strikes/Bhands became the oldest trick in the book. So, DO NOT JUDGE ‘THE BOOK’ BY ITS COVER.
Thanks

hi Emma
do you know you are amazing teacher ???
She is amazing and she likes French! :) I love this website!!!
yeah..i think sooooo
Yep!!! I agree with you Odai.
Dear Emma many thanks for this interesting lesson on book idioms.
Idioms always make language more colorful, although some of them are not that easy to remember and and much less put into real practice right away. Today’s lesson is not the case, believe me!!!
Thanks a million again for your great work and commitment.
Have a fantastic weekend Emma!!!
Regards

Awesome! I got 10/10 although I wasn´t very sure about the meaning of try every trick in the book I think the option ´He likes the smell of milk´could´ve worked! Io sono uno studente meraviglioso! Baci a tutti. Ciao!
hi Emma, your language is so fast that makes us challenging. anyway like this style.
Her language’s speed is good, but Jame’s language speed (WOW!) We have to prepare our brain for that really good.
Hi Ema,
You’re the best teacher in my book.
Thank you indeed.

DONE.. I’ve watched 497 video lessons including this within 3 months.. thanks engvid :-)
I mean 479 XD
You’re awesome Ichakushina! I’m glad you enjoy the site!
I have watched 322 videos. I agree to ichakushina……Thanks Emma, Thanks Engvid.
Good for you Ichakushina, but with all due respect, the question here is:
How much have you really learned and been able to put into real practice in your day-to-day activities?
Practice makes a big difference when it comes to learning a language, don’t you think so?
Congratulations Ichakushina!!!
Keep on the good work and see you around!!!
Regards
Hi,I know this has nothing to do with this video. However, I’m hoping my concern will be addressed. Using prepositions in, on, and at is easier if we apply them in/on transportation, place and time. What I’m not really certain of, is using it in/on concepts. I.e. “On this marriage” or “In this marriage”? “On that issue” or “In that issue”? “In this situation” or “On that situation”? ” On that matter” or In that matter”?
Hello there. I have read in a grammar book I purchased that subjunctive mood should be used in condition of uncertainty. Example. If she have the money, she will make it in the city.
I used to use has for the third person. I would like to clarify this, because there are some English novels which use has instead of have. :)
Thank you so much , it was really good .
Thank’s Emma
I got 9 out Of 10
In my book you’re a good English teacher
I got 10 correct out of 10.
80 % credit goes to Emma because you have prepared a lot of material to understand us or pour into our mind at worldwide level and with lot of examples. We people just watch 10 minutes such type of vedio and judge ourselves while you might take 10 hours to make such a lesson.
In Muslim history, Forth Caliph HAZRAT ALI R.A said that “Who has taught me single word he is my teacher”.
So how can i decline that you are not my teacher. You have an excellent accent.
Welldone! Keep on it.

Emma,Thank you so much!I like this kind of lessons.You are really a great teacher!
In my book, you are very good teacher.Tks
In my book, this was an excellent video. Thanks a lot Emma. I hope we are all in your good books.
hi emma:
that was very difficult lesson for me.
how should easy to understanding this topic?
this quize i have a got 4 collecut out of 10.
thanks emma
Four out of ten in still good. It means you’ve learned four new expressions. Well done! Practice the four you did well on and use them in conversation.
I’d recommend learning maybe two expressions from the video a week. Practice them, look up their meanings on http://www.urbandictionary.com if you don’t understand the video.
Then in a month or two try the quiz again and see if you’ve improved.
it was very good but to me icant understand when the american talk fast and i need it because i have to make a test of 100 listening pls can u help thanks emma
In my book, you are a nice and wonderful teacher. Thank you very much Kind regards Francis

Hello Emma,
i realy enjoyed at this lesson
Hi Emma:
In my book,your videos are really useful to me a lot at my job.Thanks alot
i recieved 10/10 i hope im in your books now emma
Thank you again, Ema. I LOVE and need this kind of lesson. The words change their meanings.Keep up with this kind of lesson, this is idiomatic expressions.
I like very much Engvid and I enjoy your tests so I can see if I understood your lessons . By the way you forgot an interesting and important expression:
to cook the book. I watched it in my idiomd dictionary.
Is it correct to say I never cook the book with the test’s results (engvid of course !)? Kind regards Francis
Thanks for your comment.
Here is a link to a definition of “cook the book” for anyone interested:
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/cook+the+books
The example is a little strange because it’s not usually used in a test situation. It’s used in business, and is illegal.
Here’s an example: The president of the company is cooking the books. He’s been stealing money from the company and changing the financial records.
Also in the USA and Canada presidents steal their companies! ! ! so it is a phenomenon in the world.. not only in Jordan my country thanks ALLAH. thank you Emma
I’m not a bookworm but in my book, it was so usefull and intereting to catch those idioms.. I’ll often try to keep hitting the books with you. Thanks!
thank you so much for every thing …
thank you so much Emma, your sincere teaching way is good to me:) and ı am looing forward to your next lesson.

First of all, I want to thank you especially for your lessons very useful and thank the entire team “engvid” that makes a precious service for those who have a serious attention to learn English. Personally since I found your site out I felt a satisfactory progress.
Secondly, about expressions on “book”, could you explain this one “wrote the book on”?
Cordialement

Thanks!

Thank you very much Emma…Excellent lesson
Hi Emma. I like your videos. This one is great. A funny real story about snails. My friend’s wife cooked snails very delicious, but he had never eaten them. When his friends came to his home they always ask him: “are there any snails”? And ate them all :). It keeps maybe about a year. At last he decided to try (to have) this extraordinary dish. And he was excited. He liked it. But I have never eaten them yet. Maybe on this summer I’ll try. Sorry for possible mistakes. Have a good day.
Emma is very cute) I’d like her to be my English teacher in real ;)
I am really happy to do it again :> thanks you :>
I like it:)!!!

Thank you very much
though i dont hit my books, but i really hit this website
i got a ten,thanks emma
Hi! Emma.
Thanks for your lesson..
Thanks Emma, now 90%.
Good day Emma,
In my book,you are shy and awesome teacher, that’s way -in my book- I always understand you ,so would you please teach us another lesson about the all cases in which we reverse the subject and the verb. (verb + subject) it’s a permanent question in the TOEFL here in Jordan.
Sorry- I hope I haven’t misused the word awesome
I hope it means beautiful! ! ! ! sorry for the inconvenience- I beg your pardon ( I am just a learner of foreign language yet)I checked the Google dictionary later the meaning was (horrible)
You are a really good teacher in my book.
I want to ask for an expression I’ve heard when somebody has many compromises and little free time this person is overbook
Is it correct¡?
My American pals pretty often use the phrase ‘in my book’ (= in my opinion / view) …
HI,TEACHER EMMA….CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO FOR USING “TAKE” I’M REALLY CONFUSED …
I’M HOPING THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT… SOONER
Thank you Emma! I enjoyed watching the lesson.
Quite useful these expressions Emma but I’ve got a question. Why don’t you use gerund instead of infinitive at the first expression? ( he loved to read) Thanks!
I wish I were confortable whit those expressions. But why not say “in my opinion”? It’s about formal/informal. Can we use them any time, always or maybe in a specific context?
Anyway you are the best. It’s not a compliment. For me it’s important you speak French because it is a Romance language. So you can understand structures like subjunctive, etc. À bientôt !
Thank you, Emma!
I got 100%.
Emma, thank you a lot.
I love this lesson because I am a bookworm, too. :)
that was usefull.
Thanks Emma. I got ten. great lesson but could you please give me some advice how to memorize these idioms so that i could use them in daily expressions.tnx
Thank you Emma for this lesson, it will surely help me in the futur because of its rich content. btw I got 10 out of 100 ^^
Thank you, Emma!You teach very clearly.
I got 10 of 10.
This is first time that I watched your lesson .
I got 9/10, in my book I have to subscribe your channel
Hi Emma! What are your favourite books?
Thank you for this video, it’s great! I must tell you that snails are a very good taste. In Spain, we eat them with an oil olive and garlic sauce named “Alioli”. At first snails must be cleaned (we give them to eat flour for clean their stomachs) and then they are boiled. You can eat them with a toothpick in order to extract them from the shell.
I got 10 of 10. yey~
Thanks Emma
Learned a lot with this lesson, I’ve listened these idioms in movies before but didn’t get some. Thanks Emma you are now in my good books!
Good lesson. Perfect teaching.
Thanks Mam, I got 100%.
Hi Emma, can the expression “Don’t judge the picture by the frame” be considered similar to “Don’t judge the book by its cover”?
Hello, Emma! Thanks a lot for your lessons! I really appreciate the way you get across new expressions through context and situations, not just sentences. That makes their meaning much clearer. But I` dlike to ask if it`s possible to say “be in someone`s bad books” as the opposite to “be in someone`s good books”, meaning to be disliked and kind of suspected. For example, if I have a student, who is neither bright nor hardworking, and I dislike him and whenever there is a petty committed I often suspect it is he who did that, can I say “He is in my bad books”? Once again thanks a lot and good luck!
Hi Olga! I wasn’t sure, so I looked it up, and “bad books” is an expression! “Black books” means the same thing, but it is more British — it must be where the name of the TV show Black Books comes from. (It’s a comedy about an unfriendly bookstore owner — so the name has a double meaning.)
Hi Emma

in my book engvid is one of the great sites to learn english.Now,another point to consider is that we also have to hit the books if we want to succeed in everything.It is of the utmost important to read a lot if u want to build up your english vocabulary,I mean, not to be an bookworm exactly but read at least what necessary is to meet new words and gain confidence XD
If i want Emma to recognize me as her one of the best student, I have to get 10 score because it is the oldest trick on the book.
In my book madam Emma is an excellent teacher.
I gonna hit the books tonight on …… head.
Hi!! Emma. I’m always hitting the books. In my book, the only way to be sure of what you say is only by reading books everywhere you are. None book is bad, everyone have something to tell you.

I’m so grateful to engvid.com. Thank you, Emma, for this educating and memorable lesson. By the way, I’m a bookworm, and I hit the books whenever I have time for it. And there is one thing that I don’t like in my character, this is I do everything by the book. I’ve fallen into the habit of doing it so. I cannot break off this habit.
Kind Regards,
Roya.

Hi Emma, in my book, eating snails is very delicious, welcome to algeria for testing
very nice lesson, i tried to use all phrases and write an essay on present Indian government policy:
In my book, the thought of demonetization is an open book, some media being closed book throws the book at pm of the country. Some parties trying every trick in the book to blame him! But he is in the teachers good books. Some economists read this policy like a book and guide all sections of people by the book. Strikes/Bhands became the oldest trick in the book. So, DO NOT JUDGE ‘THE BOOK’ BY ITS COVER.
Thanks
