Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

Today I'm going to discuss the idiom "no wonder".

When you say "no wonder", it means "not surprising at all". For example, you passed your exam. No wonder. You studied a lot. You failed your exam. No wonder. You didn't study a bit for it.

"No wonder" can be followed by a sentence. For example, you studied a lot. It's no wonder that you passed your exam. You didn't study at all. It's no wonder that you failed your exam.

I like the example sentences offered by the Free Dictionary. No wonder the baby is crying. She's wet. It's no wonder that the plant died. You watered it too much.

Finally, just for your reference, you can find this phrase in the Tim Burton movie "Edward Scissorshands".

Now let me give you a quiz to make sure you get the phrase right. You'll be given three options. Please listen carefully and choose the one that is TRUE. Ready?

It's no wonder you're so tired.

1. You have too much free time.

2. You've been eating all day.

3. You've been working all week.
