Hi everybody, welcome back to Know Your Verbs.
My name is Alisha and in this episode,
we're going to talk about the verb stay.
Let's get started.
Let's start with the basic definition of the verb stay.
The basic definition of stay is to remain
in a place or situation.
Some examples, we're staying at a beach house.
She stayed in that job for four years.
Now let's look at the conjugations for this verb.
Present, stay, stays, past, stayed, past participle, stayed, progressive, staying.
Now let's talk about some additional meanings for this verb.
The first additional meaning is to continue to do something
or to continue a condition.
Some examples, our supermarket stays open until midnight.
I'm so tired, I can barely stay awake.
So this use of stay doesn't refer to a location, not a place,
but actually a condition or that something is continuing,
some state is continuing.
In the first example sentence, we see stays open.
The supermarket stays open until midnight.
That means the condition of open, the status of open.
So like a business is open, we can go to that business.
That status, that condition continues until midnight.
So the supermarket stays open is how we communicate that naturally.
In the second example sentence, we see,
I can barely stay awake.
I can barely stay awake.
So here, the condition is awake.
So awake means not asleep.
So we are, our eyes are open, we are doing things, we are awake.
