WHEN PIGS FLY

Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday to you. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you've had a great week and that your day is going well. 

Today we look at another colloquial, informal English expression.

Today's expression is: WHEN PIGS FLY

Meaning: If we say when pigs fly after someone has said that something might happen or that something will be true, we are emphasizing that we think it is very unlikely, or impossible.

Example 1:
Mother: Erik, will you finish your homework before the deadline?
Erik: Yeah, right... when pigs fly! 

Example 2: When pigs fly, maybe we'll finally get the CEO to agree to a four-day workweek. I don't understand why the management are so against this change. 

Can you create your own original sentence using this 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 ASAP.

I hope the rest of your day goes well. Have an excellent weekend. We'll be back on Monday with another lesson.
