Just (do something)
This is an order to do something. You're telling someone to do only what you ask, without discussing it or protesting. Some examples:
Just shut up.
Just listen!
This can seem commanding, but in the right situation, it can also seem helpful:
Just be confident. You'll be fine!
let it go
To "let it go" means to stop worrying or being angry about something:
I try to let it go, but the more that I think about it, the angrier I get
You usually use the word "it" in this phrase, but sometimes you can use "things", like this:
She's always been really good at letting things go and not letting herself get stressed out about silly stuff.
hon
"Hon" is short for "honey". It's a name that you can use for someone who's close to you. Here are some examples of when someone might use "hon":
- a mother speaking to one of her children
- a wife speaking to her husband
- an older woman talking to a younger coworker who's also a close friend
It's not as common for men to use "hon". You also wouldn't use it with your lover in a really romantic situation.
