Let's create the four different kinds of sentences using this idiom and a picture. Here we go. Who? I see a picture, and it's bill. Hello, Bill. Okay, when we're describing this picture, I see a guy he's looking at us.

He has glasses on and the glasses have a black frame. He has a beard and he has kind of longer hair that's a little bit messy. He's sitting outside in a chair looks like a very comfortable chair and the chair looks almost too new to be where it is. Oh, well. He's wearing boots, shorts and a shirt. around him.

I see a bottle of some sort of probably do so I don't know who bottle of booze the bottle of alcohol. Probably beer. Behind him looks like this is maybe a shopping cart, some sort of cart and there's a tree or a branch. The tree doesn't look like it's alive, but there's Can hanging from the tree and there's a bottle hanging from the tree. Behind bill looks like there are two tunnels. It looks to me like it would be part of a bridge.

And maybe there is a road that goes overhead. I don't know. I would say Bill's expression is not happy for sure. He's probably looking at a same thinking, why are you taking this picture? So looks like Bill is homeless. Homeless means the person doesn't have a home.

They don't have a house, they don't have an apartment. They don't have a place where someone's letting them stay. So maybe bill lives under the bridge. Who knows? Let's make a couple sentences where we share information about this picture. And we're going to use the idiom as well.

Bill lived beyond his means for five years before his mom kicked him out of the house. All right, let's make the idiom bold, so it's easy to see. And then I'm going to have you repeat the sentence after me. Here we go. Bill live beyond his means for five years before his mom kicked him out of the house. So it looks like things are not going very well for Bill, but he's probably responsible for what happened.

He was living beyond his means for five years before his mom kicked him out. Maybe he was living in the basement, or in the same room that he grew up in grew up in when he was a kid who knows. But his mom, she finally had enough bill you've been spending too much money, my money, buying crazy expensive things using my credit card when I wasn't looking. I've had enough so she kicked bill out. Now bill Is homeless. However, it looks like Bill was able to take his nice comfy chair with him.

Whoo. And Bill moved down to the bridge and lives under the bridge. So Hmm, let's do another sentence. Now. Bill lives under a bridge fights to keep his beloved sofa chair and regrets living beyond his means. Make the idiom bold once again.

Okay, now repeat the sentence after me. Now, Bill lives under a bridge fights to keep his beloved sofa chair and regrets living beyond his means. Okay, first off the word beloved means something that you really value. You love something a lot. So Bill loves his sofa chair. And this isn't a regular chair.

It's more like a sofa, right? a sofa or a couch is long. But this is a sofa chair. Because when you sit in it, it's like a section of a couch like section of a sofa. It looks like a pretty nice chair. I'll give bill that.

Okay, but now bill lives under the bridge. And I imagine he's not alone. There's probably other homeless people that live there as well. And he has to fight to keep his beloved sofa chair. I bet there are a lot of people out there that would love to sit in his chair, have his chair and maybe steal his chair. So Bill's got a big challenge.

Watching this chair and making sure someone else doesn't take it from him. Hmm. But bill like he looks over here, he doesn't look so happy right? He probably regrets living beyond his means. And why does he regret living beyond his means? Because his behavior made a situation where his mom finally decided to get out of the house.

You can't live here anymore. Let's make a couple sentences that are a command or a request. Same situation with Bill and homeless bill and is wonderful to hear. live beyond your means bill. You can do much better than this. Maybe someone walks up to bill and says Wow, things look like they really suck for you.

Live beyond your means. Which kind of doesn't make sense Because he doesn't have the ability to live beyond his means. I bet his mom took away all these credit cards. Let me make this bold. In this sentence, it's a command so someone is telling him to do something. Repeat out loud after me.

Here we go. live beyond your means bill. You can do much better than this. sentence number two, please live beyond your means. You still owe me a lot of money. Make that bold.

So maybe someone was walking up one day and they saw bill down. They're like, hey, that guy owes me like $50,000 They went down, talked with Bill and wow, things are looking so great. So they would want bill to live beyond his means. Go Go get money from your mom or something. Because you owe me a lot of money. I need you to pay me back.

Repeat after me. Please live beyond your means. You still owe me a lot of money. These are two sentences with a command or a request. Let's make a couple sentences which ask a question. And we're going to ask bill a couple questions.

First, why did you live beyond your means for such a long time. make it bold. Repeat after me out loud, improve your pronunciation. Why did you live beyond your means for such a long time? So maybe we know Bill, and we happen to be walking by, and we're chatting with him and we're like, oh, you know, why don't you bring your chair outside? And he's like, I live here.

I live back there under the bridge. And we're like, oh, and then we find out more of the details. He tells us why his mom kicked him out of the house for his crazy spending habits. So we asked him, Why did you live beyond your means for such a long time? Maybe if we stay around and we talked to him for a little bit longer, we might also ask, how has living beyond your means worked out for you? To make the idiom bold.

We'll talk about this in a second. Repeat after me. How has living beyond your means worked out for you? So we know that idiom living beyond your means what it means. If someone says worked out for you, hmm, it means how have things been going? Has it been a success?

Or has it been a failure? What are the results? So if the sentence is how has living beyond your means worked out for you? How has spending like crazy worked out for you? What kind of results have happened because you've been living, you're living beyond your means. So these are two different questions that we could ask bill when he's sitting in his comfortable chair.

Probably has a lot of time on his hands to talk. Let's make two sentences that express strong emotion. We're still in the same situation with Bill and he's still looking at us is getting creepy. Okay, first sentence. I can't believe you lived beyond your means. I love your chair though.

Make the idiom bold. Repeat after me. I can't believe you lived beyond your means. I love your chair though. Maybe we were talking with Bill and we started talking About how he owes us a lot of money, and we get a little bit upset. So we say I can't believe you live beyond your means, because I'm not going to get paid.

But then we notice something else. We notice that lovely, comfortable sofa chair. And we just say no, yeah, that's a great chair. I love your chair though. second sentence. If you keep living beyond your means I won't visit you anymore.

It doesn't matter that you have the best spot under the bridge. Let me fix this. The we're gonna make the idiom bold. So it jumps All right, this is two sentences, and they're both exclamatory. Repeat after me put some emotion in your voice. If you keep living beyond your means, I won't visit you anymore.

It doesn't matter that you have the best spot under the bridge. All right. So at this point in the conversation, we're fed up, which means we don't want to take any more from Bill, we're just upset. So we tell him you know, I'm not going to visit you anymore. If you keep living beyond your means. I don't care that you have the best spot under the bridge.

So Bill probably has neighbors that live under the bridge too, and he has been there long enough that he has the best spot under the bridge, which may be the best spot but is still homeless has to live outside in the cold and wet and all that stuff. So, these are two sentences which Express strong emotion in the sentence, best spot, means best location. Okay, let's move on.
