marathon

Hi Marie, When I told you in the last class that I'm planning to watch that drama from the first episode to the last episode contenously, you said "you're gonna marathon it." I looked the word 'marathon' up in the dictionary, but marathon is a noun, not a verb. It also can be used as a verb? Thank you.

Hi Ms. [Name]! Thank you for raising this question. I think you are not familiar with the expression \'run/have a movie marathon\'. You are right, marathon is a noun. In my sentence \'You are gonna marathon it\' the main verb is \'are\' not \'marathon\'. That sentence is a bit informal and shortened actually. ^^ It should be \'You are going to have a drama marathon\', which means you are are going to watch the drama from start to finish. Please remember this expression so that you can use it in your future sentences. Have a great day! ~Teacher Marie~ Hi Marie, >> CORRECTWhen I told you in the last class that I\'m planning to watch that drama from the first episode to the last episode contenously, you said \"you\'re gonna marathon it.\" >> CORRECT *Continuously - check the spelling ^^I looked the word \'marathon\' up in the dictionary, but marathon is a noun, not a verb. >> CORRECTIt also can be used as a verb?>> It can also be used as a verb?Thank you. >> CORRECT
