EXPRESSIONS WITH START (2): meaning and examples
Good morning!
Today we look at another expression with the word START.
Today's expression is: TO GET OFF TO A BAD START
It means: to begin a relationship or a project in a negative or poor way.
Example 1:
I got off to a bad start with my boss when I was hired at this company. He said that he didn't like my attitude, but I think it's because I am very direct. Luckily, we were able to improve our working relationship and now we get along well.
Example 2:
My holidays got off to a very bad start. I forgot my passport at home, I was ill during the flight and then the hotel couldn't find my reservation. Things improved after that, but still... it was probably the worst holiday I've ever taken!
I hope your day gets off to a better start than this holiday!
Have a great one!
