文字稿

Let's learn some ways to say 'tired' in British English.

I am absolutely knackered.
'Knackered' means 'very tired'. As it's an extreme adjective, we can say 'absolutely knackered'.

I am worn out.
We say 'worn out' when we're tired because we were busy.

I am spent.
When you have no more energy, you are 'spent'.

I'm just completely done in.
We can also say 'done in' and this is an adjective phrase.

Now, excuse me because I am going to conk out.
And that is a phrasal verb which means 'go to sleep'.

Good night!
