WAY-5: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone.
Today we finish our look at expressions that have the word way in them.
Today's 1st expression is: to get in the way of...
Meaning: to prevent someone from doing something or to prevent something from happening.
Example 1:
Jack! Please do not allow your personal problems to get in the way of your work in the company. If you can't separate your personal life from your professional life, I would prefer that you find work somewhere else.
Today's 2nd expression is: to look the other way
Meaning: to deliberately avoid seeing someone or something.
Example 2:
Police officers know about the drug traffickers, but look the other way. My guess is that they are collaborating with the drug lords.
