Good morning.

Today we complete our series of Daily Vitamins about expressions with the word CHANGE. Remember that you can see all of the Daily Vitamins about change here:

Today's expression is: change horses in midstream

Meaning: to change to a different or new activity while you are in the middle of something else; to change from supporting one person or thing to another.

Example 1:
The marketing plan is half finished. It's too late to completely change the strategy. You can't change horses in midstream!

Example 2:
Jane: I've written a rough draft of my research paper, but the topic doesn't interest me as much as I thought. Maybe I ought to pick a different one.
Jill
: Don't change horses in midstream. The paper is due next Monday; there's no time.

Remember that tomorrow we present the Essential Weekly Vitamin
for Spanish-speaking students of English.

Have a great day!
