hi, everybody welcome back to know your verbs my name is alicia and in this episode, we're going to talk about the verb order let's begin let's start with the basic definition of the verb order the basic definition is to request something to request food at a restaurant or a cafe to request items from a catalog or from the internet for example to order okay, some examples i ordered a pizza did you order new office supplies all right now let's look at the conjugations of this verb present order orders past ordered past participle ordered progressive ordering now let's talk about some additional meanings for this verb the first additional meaning is to command to command so to command means to ask someone, but very very strongly could be a military situation could be a school situation your parents could be really strict with you let's look at some examples okay, the general ordered everyone to clean we were ordered to return to our homes so in both of these example situations, someone or some entity, some group, some organization is commanding someone else to do something in the first example sentence the general ordered every one to clean it means the general in this situation commanded so strongly asked everyone in the situation to clean so this could be like a military situation everyone in the group has to clean the cafeteria for example so it's a strong command a strong order another important point about the idea of a command is that if you don't listen if you don't do the thing, you're ordered to do if you don't do the thing, you are requested to do there might be a bad outcome a bad results bad consequences so you should probably do that thing so the general ordered everyone to clean if you don't clean, you could get in trouble the second example sentence was we were ordered to return to our homes here we're using the passive voice we were ordered by whom we don't know we don't know who gave the order but we were ordered to return to our homes so again this is a command if we do not return to our homes, there might be some bad results, some bad outcome so we should do that so ordered means command in these cases okay, let's go on to the second additional meaning for this firm the second editional meaning for this verb is to arrange or to organize something examples i ordered everything according to color the files are alphabetically ordered so in the first example sentence i order ordered everything according to color means i arranged or organized everything for example, clothes or maybe pens or supplies according to color which means probably things of the same color are grouped together or are organized are arranged together so but i used the verb ordered i ordered everything according to color means i arranged or i prepared everything according to color we just use ordered instead here the second example sentence uses a very common expression, alphabetically ordered alphabetically ordered means according to the letters of the alphabet, the material is arranged so this could be for example a list of names or a list of books or a list of movies but they are alphabetically ordered meaning the top of the list begins with a or the letter closest to a maybe b and then the bottom of the list is z so everything follows the order so the sequence of letters in the alphabet, everything is alphabetically ordered alphabetically arranged okay so now, let's talk about some variations on this verb the first variation is the expression out of order out of order, so out of order means broken or suspended from use we cannot use that thing it's somehow not safe to use, or it's not working not functioning correctly examples the vending machine is out of order the company printer is out of order so both of these mean that the machine in the subject of the sentence is broken or there's some other reason why we cannot use that thing? so the company printer is out of order maybe it's broken, maybe it's missing a piece, maybe there's no ink, maybe there's some other problem related to it out of order is kind of a vague open reason it can mean a few different things but in general it just means this thing cannot be used right now, it is out of order out of order the second variation is a pair actually of phrasal verbs, which can mean the same thing it is order in and order out? depending on who you talk to these can actually mean the same thing, but it's just personal preference order in and order out just to mean getting take out or delivery food so you might hear say oh, i'll just read the example sentences do you want to order in tonight? let's order out for lunch so you might hear if i don't know, depending on the person people might choose order in or order out, i know i definitely say order in when i mean delivery, because it sounds like i order something i request something as in the basic definition of the bird and the food comes into my house that's my logical thinking order out is also used, but it means like to get take out or to get delivery in other words not to cook, but not to go sit down at a restaurant either there's some kind of delivery or pickup happening to order in or to order out just depends on this situation let's talk about one more variation the variation is to order around to order someone around and so to order someone around means to command them unnecessarily so it's like you ask someone to do small tasks, lots and lots and lots of things you could do them yourself, but you make the other person you force the other person to do these small things for you it's like just because you want some power over that person, it's typically not a good thing to order someone around examples i'm tired of my boss ordering me around he kept being ordered around by his friends so in the first example sentence, i'm tired of my boss ordering me around it means the speaker's boss asks them to do lots of small things that really aren't that necessary or their time consuming very tedious so like lots of small details to take care of so the speaker is frustrated to the speaker is unhappy that the boss figure is asking so much and maybe for no reason so they used the expression order around i'm tired of my boss ordering me around in the second example sentence, he kept being ordered around by his friends ordered around here refers to the behavior his friends are abusing so we've included friends in quotation marks there because the idea is that friends true friends do not unnecessarily you know ask people to do things for them like true friends aren't going to force tasks on their other friends, that's not very nice so to order a friend around is probably pretty rude or it's like there's like a power thing a power situation happening there so to be ordered around by your friends is probably not a good thing and not a good sign okay so that's one more variation so i hope that you got a few new ways of using the verb order and you learned a few variations that include this verb so if you have any questions or comments, or if you want to try to use this word in a sentence, please feel free to do so in the comment section of this video thanks very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and we'll see you again soon bye bye can you sing the alphabet backwards the alphabet backwards opposite alphabetical order z y x w v u t no。
