AEE 2471: Out of Energy or Out of Power? What’s the Difference?

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Aubrey discuss the difference between "out of energy" and "out of power," focusing on how to correctly describe a loss of electrical power in English. They clarify that "out of energy" typically refers to a person's physical state, while phrases like "the power died," "the power cut out," "the lights went out," or "there was a power outage" are more appropriate for describing electrical failures. They provide examples, explain the nuances of related phrasal verbs, and include a role play to illustrate the correct usage in conversation, emphasizing the importance of these distinctions for clear communication, especially in professional settings or when discussing unexpected interruptions.
