Welcome to English in a Minute.
Stars can be seen shining brightly in the night sky.
Starstruck
Does this mean a star might. . . hit you?
Speaker A: You’re not going to believe who I met last night!
Speaker B: Pele?
Speaker A: I wish. But no. All the members of Sevendust!
Speaker B: Isn’t that your favorite band? Wow, yo must have been Starstruck!
Speaker A: Starstruck? Me? Okay, well maybe at first, but they really are just ordinary people like you and me!
Speaker B: We are not ordinary. We’re extraordinary!
To be “starstruck” means to be really excited about meeting famous people.
So excited, in fact, that you might feel speechless in front of a famous person you really, really like.
And that’s English in a Minute.
