| Aug 8, 2017 at 2:29 | comment | added | J.R.♦ | @P.E.Dant - I don't think the OP is asking about the word ebullient. Rather, I think this question is about the construct his usual helpful self, which would be understandably confusing for a learner. | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 0:57 | comment | added | P. E. Dant Reinstate Monica | Did you notice that the definition provided by the Cambridge dictionary is not only "energetic"? There are scores of other dictionaries which also define this adjective very clearly, and with many illustrative examples. This is something you ought to be able to figure out: don't give up! | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 21:54 | comment | added | user3169 | Could you add the definition you found, and why it doesn't apply? Actually, a common phrase might be "He wasn't his usual energetic self." Though I doubt many people would ever use or even know about ebullient. | |
