burn

--feedback--

This means to exhaust someone or make them too tired to continue working.

--explanation--

When using an adjective followed by an infinitive, the negative form is made by adding not to before the verb. For example:

  • Affirmative: She was happy to help with the project. - This means helping with the project made her happy.

  • Negative: He was careful not to forget the deadline. - This means he made sure he remembered it.

To burn out means to become extremely tired or exhausted from too much work. For example:

If we don't take breaks, we might burn out before the project is finished. - This means working without resting could cause exhaustion.
