He's quite fit! Do you agree that he's sexy? È proprio in forma! Sei d'accordo che sia sexy?

The term 'fit' has several meanings. From the list below, select ALL the sentences which use the term correctly.
This sentence uses the term fit correctly. To be 'physically fit' is to be in good physical condition or 'in good shape'. This use of 'fit' is similar to Donna's use of the term to describe Brian Jones, although she is using the term in a more familiar way to describe Brian as being 'sexy' or 'good looking'.
'Fit' is used correctly in this sentence, in the same way that Donna uses it in this chat. 'Fit' has come to mean 'sexy' or 'good looking' in modern British English. When used to describe a man or woman, the term means 'good looking' or 'attractive', but is still linked to the idea of being in good physical condition.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect. The term 'fit' must be used with a verb for this sentence to make sense. We could write: 'this dress does not fit: it's too big for me'. It does not make sense to use 'fit' as an adjective in this context.
This sentence uses the term 'fit' correctly. If water isn't 'fit to drink', then it isn't clean enough for consumption, or it isn't drinkable. In another context, we might say that a report isn't fit to be published, if it has many mistakes in it for example. 'Fit' is used in this context to describe an object which is qualified, competent or capable of something. The term can be applied to people as well: The candidate was fit for the job, and so we hired her immediately.

1 of the right size: This is the best choice here. In this context, shoes "which fit" are shoes which are the "right size". Example: "I love my new dress but I need to lose weight before it will fit me". This usage is different from that heard in the conversation.
1 made of leather: This is incorrect. "Leather" is a material made from animal skin, which is often used to make shoes, coats, bags, belts and sofas. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "to fit".
1 which match: This is incorrect. "(Shoes) which match" are shoes which share the same colour or design, or complement each other. Example: "I refuse to waste my time looking for matching socks in the morning. Today one of my socks is blue, and the other is yellow".
1 designed for sport: This is incorrect. In another context, the adjective "fit" can be used to describe a person who is in good physical form, but it is unrelated to the context of this question. Sports shoes or "trainers" are worn by those who practise sport.
2 capable of raising: This is the best choice here. In this context, the term "fit" is used to mean "capable", "competent" or "able". This is the same usage as in the conversation, when Bruno quotes Sigourney's article: "Bruno Delavigne is hardly fit to run a company".
2 sentenced to raise: This is incorrect. In legal terms, the verb "to sentence" means to "decide" or "determine" a punishment for a guilty party. This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 willing to raise: This is incorrect. The expression "to be willing (to do something)" shares a similar meaning with "consenting", "agreeing", or being "prepared" to do something. Example: "I'm willing to share my sweets with you, if you'll agree to give me some of your orange juice". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 scared of raising: This is incorrect. The term "scared" shares a similar meaning with "frightened" or "afraid". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
3 healthy: This is the best choice here. As an adjective, "fit" means "in good physical shape" or "healthy". Example: "I've decided to eat better and get fit!". This is a different usage from that in the conversation.
3 some fresh air: This is incorrect. We say that we need "some fresh air" when we are feeling too hot, tired, or if there is a bad smell. To "get some fresh air" is a form of refreshment: it is revitalising. This may be true of jogging, but the term "fresh air" is unrelated to the term "fit".
3 thinner: This is incorrect. The term "thinner" is the comparative form of "thin". It means "less fat" or "more skinny" or "more slender". This is not the same meaning as the term "fit". Although "getting fit" may involve losing weight or becoming "thinner", this is not an accurate definition of the term "fit".
3 hungry: This is incorrect. To "get hungry" is to "feel the desire to eat". Example: "I get very hungry if I don't eat for two hours". This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "fit".
Esercizio 3
When Donna says "Wow Brian, you've certainly got big hair, it doesn't seem to fit!", what does she mean?
When Donna says "Wow Brian, you've certainly got big hair, it doesn't seem to fit!", what does she mean?
This is the right choice. Donna means that the headset isn't the right size or shape for Brian's head (due to his large volume of hair!). We can use "fit" in the same way but in a positive sense. For example: "I can fit three tennis balls in my mouth at once!". And I can, too!
This is incorrect. "Fit" can be used to say that something is suited or belongs. For example: "The people in my class are so different, I really don't feel that I fit in". However, from the context it is clear this is not what Donna is talking about.
This is incorrect. To "be fit" can mean in good physical condition or in good health. For example: "He's fit to take part in the beer drinking contest". However, from the dialogue, it is clear that this is not what Donna means.
This is incorrect. "Fit" can be used like this, for example, "You can't fit more than one cat in a microwave at a time". However, from the dialogue, it is clear that this is not what Donna means.

Complete the sentences below using words in the song!

Now find the opposite of the term above, and means "too thin" or "skinny": "Kalvin Krime has stopped using models in his catwalk shows, because he feels they are a bad influence." (This term was not used in the song)

"I should probably go to the gym and get fit 1, because I'm feeling really fat 2 after all the food at Christmas."

Now find the opposite of the term above, and means "too thin" or "skinny": "Kalvin Krime has stopped using [not done] underweight 4 models in his catwalk shows, because he feels they are a bad influence." (This term was not used in the song)

1 fit: "Fit" is the right choice for this sentence. To be "fit" is to be "healthy" or "in good physical condition". Example: "I need to lose some weight and get fit before I visit the doctor next month". Note that there is also a verb "to fit", which has several meanings, including "to be the right size": "These shoes don't fit. They're too small".
1 fat: "Fat" is not the best term to use here. If someone is "fat", they are carrying too much weight on their body. One does not get "fat" by going to the gym. The opposite is true!
2 fat: "Fat" is the better answer here. If someone is "fat", they are bigger than they should be, usually because of too much food and/or too little exercise. "Fat" is quite an insulting word to use. It's nicer to say "overweight" or, in the US, "heavy". The related noun, "fat", refers to a greasy substance found on the body or used in cooking: "When the fat is hot, you're ready to fry your potatoes".
2 fit: This is not the right choice. If someone is "fit", they are "healthy" or "in good physical shape". I've you've eaten a lot of food at Christmas, you're probably feeling the opposite of "fit"!
3 overweight: "Overweight" is the term we were looking for here. We say that someone is "overweight" when they are "too heavy" or "fat". Example: "Overweight children are being sent to "fat camps" to lose weight and get fit".
4 underweight: "Underweight" is the right answer. If you are "underweight", you "do not weigh enough" or "are not as heavy as you should be". Premature babies can be described as "underweight", and so can people who do not eat enough food.
