Are you ready for your last lesson about Expressions with NEW?

Today's idiom is: A NEW LEASE ON / OF LIFE

Definition 1: Feeling more energetic and active than before.

Example 1: We gave our 13-year-old dog new medicine and it's as if she had a new lease of life. She's running and wagging her tail like when she was three years old!

Definition 2: An increase in the time that something can be used or continued. 

Example 2: When she was young, she went to jail for selling drugs. In jail, she entered a program to help young girls go to school and stay away from drugs. She says she got a new lease on life thanks to this program.

NOTE: "A new lease OF life" is more common in the UK and "a new lease ON life" is more common in the US and Canada. 

That's all for this week. Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you on Monday.
