When push comes to shove


Adam Bradshaw is the famous foreigner teacher. His TV programs are in many channels in Thailand. The breakdown is one of those programs. It is available on modern nine TV at 16:05 pm. Today Adam suggests about the phrase “When push comes to shove”.
“When push comes to shove” means do something with full power and attempt to do it. “We are just practicing today, but tomorrow we have a concert and when push comes to shove, we have gotten give it our all” is example of the sentence. The original of this sentence, Adam guesses it may from push with play of 2 boys after each person are pushed, they start to get angry and push really with the powerful. Moreover, there are many sentences that Thais should practice to pronounce again and again such as shove, love and glove. O was pronounced in /ʌ/ not /ʊ/.
Concluding, “when push comes to shove” means in Thai พยายามสุดความสามารถ. Adam teaches me to learn about the new idiom that important to communicate. It’s not only help to understand English, but it improves me to love English.
