THEME THURSDAY: IDIOMS WITH 'FALL' (2): meaning and examples
Good morning again.
On Theme Thursday The Daily Vitamin focuses on an English theme. For the month of September, we are discussing idioms with FALL. Click here to see last week's fall idioms.
Idiom 1: To take the fall (for someone)
Definition: To take the blame for something you did not do (so you can save someone else from punishment).
Example 1: I took the fall for my brother when he broke my mom's glasses.
Idiom 2: Fall on deaf ears
Definition: When someone does not listen to you.
Example 2: My complaints fell on deaf ears. The company still has not replaced my broken TV.
Tune in tomorrow for Phrasal Verb Friday, when we continue our lesson on the word FALL and examine the phrase FALL BACK. And make sure to check back next week for October's Theme Thursday, when we will look at Formal vs. Informal Business Greetings.
Have a great day!
