👉 submit という動詞。これは「〜を提出する」という動詞です。

👉そして、cite all the sources というフレーズが出てきましたね。cite sorces これは、
「出典を示す」ということ。
③ Lucky you.【 lucky you の意味 】
👉 lucky you これは「運がいいですね」というフレーズ。
④ I’m still halfway through. 【 through のニュアンス 】
👉 そして halfway through – through は終えてという、トンネル状のものを最後まで抜けて、

という意味を作っています。

👉さあ、I’ll be living – will be 〜ing 形が未来を表しています。

Pronunciation Polish
Today’s Sentence:How’s it going?
David
▶︎ OK, everyone. Welcome to the “Pronunciation Polish” corner.
Let’s take one phrase from today’s lesson,
and master natural pronunciation. Are you ready?
Great. Here’s today’s phrase.
・How’s it going?
・How’s it going?
All right.
Let’s zoom in on a couple of key points.
First up, “how’s” plus ” it.”
Let’s join those together.
how’s it, how’s it
The “t” sound in “it” will also disappear.
how’s it, how’s it
Next up is “going.”
The “ng” sound is very nasal.
It sounds like 「ん〜.]
going, going, going
Good work so far.
Let’s put it together.
・How’s it going?
・How’s it going?
Now let’s try it at natural speed.
・How’s it going?
・How’s it going?
All right.
Don’t worry if it’s not perfect the first time.
Try it again and again until it feels natural.
Great work!
