RINGS A BELL

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. I hope you are having a good day. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin.

Today we look at another common expression that we use in English.

Today's expression is: it RINGS A BELL

Meaning: when we say that something rings a bell, we mean that it reminds us of something, but we can't remember exactly what it is. Another similar expression is to sound familiar.

Example 1: Her name rings a bell, but I'm not sure who she is. Do you have a photo of her?

Example 2: 
Andrew: Have you ever seen the film "What Dreams May Come?"
Nancy: The title rings a bell, but I'm not sure. What's the film about?

Back in April of 2011, we did a Daily Vitamin that included this expression in it. You can see that lesson at the following link.

Can you come up with your own original sentence with today's expression? You can post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X) and we will give you feedback about it as soon as we can.

I hope you have a great day. We'll be back tomorrow with another expression.

All the best!
