Today, I’d like to teach the phrasal verb “nod off”. This is used when we want to talk about a person who falls asleep while they’re doing something. For example:
My brother got into a car accident because he nodded off while he was driving.
I nodded off in the theater, so I missed the end of the movie.
The meeting was so boring that I kept nodding off while the boss was speaking.
This phrasal verb is intransitive which means that it doesn’t take an object in the sentence.
