release tension?

[darren]

hi to all teachers out there:
I'd like to know if it is a proper way to say ' release tension'? Other similar expression? your opinion is greatly appreciated.

You want toknow if there is a proper way to say "release tension"? That says to me that you don't think it is proper to say "release tension". It is, however, proper to do so.

i see. thanks for all of you. Now i found English more lively and interesting.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Tdol]

You can 'reduce' tension too. ;-)

1. I'm tense. I'm going to the gym to release some tension.
2. I've built up a lot of tension this week.

'unleash tension' is odd. It means, set tension free so that it can pursue something or attack someone/something (e.g. unleash the dog).

All the best,

We use 'stressed out' in British English.;-)

When you are "stressed out" or " all wound up", you can go to the gym to "unwind", "wind down", "unbend", or simply "relax".

:wink:

Try,

I feel tense.
I'm feeling a little tense right now.
You're making me (feel) tense.
I'm tense.
I've got/built up a lot of tension in my neck/back/shoulders.

All the best,

thanks a million to tdol, Casiopea, Susie and Ron. You all are a great help to me. Here, another question: I got worked on these few days. Does it imply that the speaker has been buiding up tension and feel annoyed?
waiting for reply.

Try,

I got (all) worked up (i.e. stressed out).

I got worked on means, a) someone gave you a massage , or b) someone gave you a beating, notably the Mafia. :shock:

 

[Tdol]

We use 'work over' for beat somebody up. ;-)

Our is a possessive adjective, so it means the guys belong to you in some way or are members of your group, etc. :wink:

Coach: Our guys (team members) are definitely not going to the party. We have an important game tomorrow.

another question here.
is it proper English to say ' by right'? i heard some people saying 'long time no see'. I was told that it is broken English, but i'd like to hear from you all. Any opinions are welcomed.
