The temperature keeps yo-yoing...

Hey everyone, here's a super short lesson today about the verb:

to yo-yo

It is usually used in the following three different tenses.


~ing


The weather has been yo-yoing alot recently, it's driving me nuts~!


~ed


When I was a kid, my weight yo-yoed up and down.


~s


This movie's pace yo-yos alot. The story moves slowly, then fast, then slow, it's kind of annoying!


As you can see, it means that something goes up and down like a yo-yo. So it's used when talking about frequent changes.


Have a good week,


Phil
