Phrase | to sort |
Text | The verb "to sort," in this podcast, means to organize items by dividing them into smaller groups or piles that will later be stored somewhere else: "Let's sort the garage sale items into three piles: free, $1-$9, and more than $10." The phrase "sort of" means kind of, or that something is partially true: "That paint color is really unusual, but I sort of like it." The phrase "out of sorts" describes feeling unusual, possibly sick, and not like one normally feels: "Charles felt out of sorts for a few days after he had to fire some employees." Finally, the phrase "all sorts" means many different types: "They like all sorts of restaurants: Chinese, Mexican, Thai, Ethiopian, French, and more." |
