MORE HAND EXPRESSIONS-3

Good morning.

Today we continue our look at English expressions that use the word hand in them.

Today's expression is: out of your hands

Meaning: no longer your responsibility.

Example 1:
I would love to help you, but I'm afraid the matter is completely out of my hands now. I suggest you call the central office.

Example 2:
