IDIOMS WITH 'SHORT': TO FALL SHORT

Hello, Daily Vitamin readers! And happy Tuesday to you. 

Our theme this week is Idioms with the word "Short."

Today we are learning the phrase: TO FALL SHORT

Definition: To fail to reach an amount or standard that was expected or hoped for, causing disappointment.

Example 1: We fell short of our sales goal for last year. 

Example 2: Sometimes we fall short of the expectations that others have for us.

Example 3: They fell short of the votes they needed to win the Presidency.

We covered this expression in a lesson in April of 2004 and again in a lesson in November 2009. Take a look at the following link to the lesson from 2009: https://www.ziggurat.es/daily-vitamin/?vitamin=1339

That's all for today! Thank you for reading. We will see you tomorrow for another lesson on this theme.
