Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words. Currently, we’re looking at some common English idioms.
in the red: not making a profit, owe money, have a negative bank balance
Example:
Our snowplow business is in the red this winter – we’ve hardly had any snow.
keep in touch // stay in touch: maintain a relationship, maintain communication
Example:
James promised to keep in touch / stay in touch with his cousin when he went to England to study.
