In the following dialog,
Man: Are you still sharing that house with all those other people ?
Woman: No way! I bought a big house with.....four bedrooms,and a garden...the works.
What is the meaning of "the works" in this sentence.
check it out in cambridge dictionary
I think she means by saying "the works" that she could house with 4 bedrooms and a garden as a result of the successful work

Hello Ningappa!
Don't forget we have a dictionary on site! If you type the works into our Cambridge Dictionaries Online search box, you'll see the very first definition is this:
everything that you might want or expect to find in a particular situation
So here, the woman means the house has everything you would want in a house - bedrooms, bathrooms, a garage, a garden...
Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
Yes, I´am thinking about that the speak is so fast and then a I have to repeat many times to understand.
Good video, but the sound quality could be better..!!
