There are several ways to use the word "way" in English. In this video let's take a look at several different uses of the word "way". One of the first uses of the word "way" is with two phrases that can be used to cheer or encourage someone. The first phrase is: Way to go! And the second phrase is: That's the way! So let's imagine you're watching your favourite football team, and you want to cheer or encourage them. You could yell: That's the way team! You can do it! Or you could yell: Way to go team! You are doing great. A second way to use the word "way" is to describe distance using the phrase: "All the way" You could say things like: He ran all the way to the library. Or, He drove all the way to Toronto. In this phrase when we say "all the way" we mean that they drove the entire distance, or they went the entire distance. He went all the way to Toronto. He drove the entire distance to Toronto. A third use of the word way can be when talking about the path or direction someone is going. The phrase "go the other way" could be used to tell someone to turn around. Stop! Go the other way! You could say to tell someone that they can't come forward, but they need to turn around and go in the opposite direction. We also use the word "way" when using phrases like "it is on the way" You could say: I can pick up milk on my way to work because the store is in between my home and the place I work at. I can stop on the way. And the third way to use it with paths or distances is the phrase "to have lost your way" Or to describe that there are several ways to do something. There are many ways to make bread. Or to describe how someone is doing something. So you could say: I like the way you sing. And finally there's just a few more phrases that aren't in a group specifically, but we say things in English like the phrase:..by the way. And you can use the phrase "by the way" to start a sentence. By the way I am going to a movie tonight. By the way have you seen the last Star Wars movie. It's kind of an introduction to a sentence. You could also say the phrase: Way too fast. You can describe someone as driving way too fast which means they are over the speed limit. Or you could say that he eats his food way too fast. Indicating that he doesn't just eat the food fast. He eats it faster than fast. Way too fast.
