Let's create the four different kinds of sentences. Whoo, this might get interesting. Does it look like we're using the first definition of get your hands dirty? I don't think this is a boss helping out his employees. I think this is probably some criminals in doing something which is illegal, committing a crime or breaking the law. So let's make a couple sentences where we share information.

Hello, Joe, Sam and Bob. I guess first, let's describe the picture. It looks like there are two guys, Joe and Bob, who are going to do something not so nice to see him. We don't know the history. We can use our imagination and think what the history might be. But it looks like Joe is getting his fist ready.

He might be about to punch Sam. We'll see. So he My first sentence, and this is what you would call a declarative sentence where I share information. I have a black belt in karate, and there's no way I'm going to get my hands dirty. Going to make the idiom bold. So, jump, so it's easy to see.

So that's the first sentence. Repeat after me. I have a black belt in karate, and there's no way I'm going to get my hands dirty. So for this sentence, I would say it's probably Sam who's saying it, and we can make it obvious that he's saying it by adding some quotation marks. So Sam's in the middle and he's seen the sentence. I have A black belt in karate, and there's no way I'm going to get my hands dirty.

This would make me think that Joe and Bob are asking or trying to force Sam to do something he doesn't want to do. They're trying to get Sam's hands dirty, huh? They want him to do something illegal, something that's breaking the law. So Sam could say, there's no way I'm going to break the law. There's no way I'm going to commit a crime. For the second sentence, let's have Joe respond.

Joe says I'm going to punch you in the face. If you ask us to get our hands dirty. One more time. So maybe this situation is now what we start. get our hands dirty. We'll make it bold.

So maybe Sam is the one that was asking Joe and Bob to get their hands dirty, who the situation is getting so full of drama. Repeat the sentence out loud after me. I'm going to punch you in the face if you ask us to get our hands dirty one more time. So Sam is likely asking Joe and Bob to do something illegal. Maybe Joe and Bob cuts him and they're they want to make it very clear. We don't want to get our hands dirty.

We don't like having trouble with the police. We don't want to break the law. Mm hmm. So here we are. We did two sentences that share information. In other words, they're declarative sentences.

Let's make two sentences. That are commands or requests, and we're going to use the same picture. Good Old Joe, Bob and Sam. first sentence. Get your hands dirty. There's the command.

If you don't, we'll find someone else who will. Whoo. This will probably be Joe Joe talking is fixed up the sentence. Make the idiom bold. right at the beginning is the command. Get your hands dirty.

Tell he's not asking nicely. He's commanding. He's telling Sam to do it. Repeat after me. Get your hands dirty. If you don't, we'll find someone else who will All right.

So we don't know the history, but we kind of have an idea that Joe and Bob are probably not the most honorable, honorable people. They're probably criminals. And they're involved with Sam somehow we don't know, but they want him to do something illegal. All right, let's do another, another command or request. Please. Get your hands dirty.

My son is being held hostage. And they need you to rob the bank right now. Ooh, things change things change. Here is the idiom get your hands dirty. Before we move on and talk about the sentence. Let's repeat it out loud.

Repeat after me. Please get your hands dirty. My son is being held hostage. They need you to rob the bank right now. So the request, it's more of a request this time because we put the word please in front of it. So it's like a mini command.

It's like a weak command. It's more of a request. Please get your hands dirty. so in this situation, it's a little bit stranger. The person's son, maybe Sam son was held hostage. And the criminals that are holding him hostage said, you got to go rob this bank or we're not also we're going to hurt your son.

So Sam went up to Joe and Bob and said, Come on, you got to rob the bank and you kept pushing and pushing. Maybe they got pissed off because they don't want to do anything illegal. And they're like holding him down because Sam is so emotional, and just predictable What? See what what's he going to do because he's scared about his son. So Sam needs something done so he can save his son and he wants Joe and Bob to help out because they need the money to pay the hospital dirt free the hostage. Okay, either way, these are two sentences that use a command or a request.

Let's move on. Now let's make two sentences where we ask a question. Same thing. Hello, Joe, Sam and Bob. Why do you guys want me to get my hands dirty? I tell the police.

Anyway. All right. get my hands dirty. make it bold. Repeat after me. Why do you guys want me to get my hands dirty.

I tell the police Anyway. So the first sentence is where we ask a question. Why do you guys want me to get my hands dirty? So this is probably Sam talking. And we'll put the quotations. So it's easy to see that Sam is talking.

And he's talking to Joe and Bob like always, and saying, you know why I don't want to get my hands dirty. I just tell the police anyway. So who knows? Maybe Joe and Bob wants Sam to hold on to some stolen material or some stolen diamonds or something? Because the police are chasing them who knows? And Sam's just being honest, and he's saying, Well, I'd tell the police anyway, which is probably not a good idea for Sam.

Because if you tell Joe and Bob that I would tell the police Anyway, let's just say Sam is probably not going to be doing so well after this situation. Let's make another question. Oh, wrong answer. Buddy. Do you know what we're going to do? If you don't get your hands dirty?

Whoo. So this is probably Joe talking Wrong answer buddy saying you know, Sam, you're saying the wrong things at the wrong time. Repeat after me. Wrong answer, buddy. Do you know what we're going to do if you don't get your hands dirty? Okay So Sam just told them that, you know, I'd tell the police anyway.

And Joe's like Wrong answer, buddy. We don't want the police to catch us. Do you know what we're going to do if you get your hands dirty? Well, we can imagine what will happen. Sam's probably gonna get beat up. And he probably knows already what Joe and Bob did that was illegal.

So that makes Sam a witness. So if the police caught Sam, they could ask Sam Hey, what did Joe and Bob do? So this situation is probably not very good for Sam. Something bad is going to happen. For sure. Let's make the fourth kind of sentence, an exclamatory sentence where we need to express strong emotion.

All right, same situation. We're gonna get into learn so much about Sam, Joe and Bob. I don't Want to get my hands dirty? exclamation? I can't lose my job. Huh?

Get my hands dirty, make it bold. Repeat after me. I don't want to get my hands dirty. I can't lose my job. So this is probably Sam talking. And once again, Joe and Bob, they want him to do something illegal.

Just by what Sam said. I would think maybe Sam works in a place where he has access to something valuable. Maybe money cash, electronics or something that Joe and Bob want. And they want Sam to probably steal it for them. But Sam's thinking, Man, if I do this illegal stuff, I'm probably gonna get fired. I can't lose my job.

So Sam could have said something like, I don't want to do anything illegal. I don't want to break the law. I can't lose my job. All right, so Joe, Good Old Joe is going to say if you don't steal the money and get your hands dirty, we'll feed you to the fish. Right, get your hands dirty. Make it easy to see and sentence.

Repeat after me. Add some emotion to your voice and make it exclamatory because we're expressing strong emotion. So remember, Joe was kind of pissed off. He wants to get something done. If you repeat after me, if you don't steal the money, and get your hands dirty, will feed you to the fish. So in this sentence feed you to the fish.

What do you think that means? dump them in the water. So, if Joe threatens to feed Sam to the fish, that means kill him and dump him in the river, dump them in the ocean and then you know after a while the fish will eat him. So this is a very strong threat. If you don't steal the money, and get your hands dirty, and do the illegal activity, will feed you to the fish will kill you. If you don't do what we're asking if you don't get your hands dirty.

So this is another situation where Sam bad things are happening in Sam's life. Okay, so we just made the point. Different kinds of sentences using get your hands dirty.
