Phrase | to behave |
Text | The verb "to behave," in this podcast, means to be good or to not create problems: "I was surprised that the group of young school kids behaved so well in the museum." "To behave" can be used more generally to describe how people are acting in a situation: "Mary behaved so foolishly when she gave her credit card information to the man on the street!" Here, "to behave" is used to describe her behavior. Another example would be: "Why does he behave like a policeman every time there are other people around?" It's very common to use the word "behave" to compare people to other people or things. A teacher may complain: "These students are behaving like monkeys!" |
