In one end and out the other — go through

Where the picture shows up in go through

1. 1

   crossing a list end to end

   Let's go through the list once more.

   lets ɡoʊ θruː ðə lɪst wʌns mɔːr

   Let's check the list one more time.

   A finger walks down the list line by line from the first entry to the last

2. 2

   coming out the far end of a hard time

   She went through a hard year.

   ʃi went θruː ə hɑːrd jɪr

   She had a hard year.

   She walks into a long dark tunnel and out again into the light at the end

3. 3

   passing across a desk for approval

   The form has to go through the manager.

   ðə fɔːrm hæz tə ɡoʊ θruː ðə ˈmænɪdʒər

   The form has to be signed off by the manager.

   The form goes onto the manager's desk, takes a stamp, and comes out the other side

4. 4

   passing all the way through a supply

   We went through three boxes of gloves today.

   wi went θruː θriː ˈbɑːksɪz əv ɡlʌvz təˈdeɪ

   We used up three boxes of gloves today.

   A full box of gloves empties to the cardboard floor and is pushed aside

   Using something up is also crossing it end to end.

5. 5

   a payment clearing all the way

   Did the payment go through?

   dɪd ðə ˈpeɪmənt ɡoʊ θruː

   Did the payment clear?

   The card signal crosses the terminal and an 'approved' light comes on at the far end
