EXPRESSIONS WITH ‘COLD’: KNOCK OUT COLD

Hello everyone and happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well. 

It's our fourth lesson of the week with our theme Expressions with the word COLD.

Today we are learning the phrase: TO KNOCK SOMEONE OUT COLD

This is actually a variation of the phrasal verb, TO KNOCK SOMEONE OUT.

Definition: To make someone unconscious.

Example 1: I slipped and fell, and the fall knocked me out. 

We sometimes add COLD to the end of this phrase for emphasis.

Example 2: I slipped and fell, and the fall knocked me out cold. 

Example 3: Those pain pills knocked me out cold. 

Example 4: He accidentally hit me with the bat, and it knocked me out cold. 

That's all for today. Thanks for reading!

Join us tomorrow for one last lesson about Expressions with the word COLD.

Have a great day!
