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.
in the market for ~: looking to buy ~
Example:
We’re in the market for a new copier, so let me know if you come across any good deals.
take over: take control of something, assume responsibility for something
Example:
While Mrs. Robinson was on maternity leave, Mr. Jones took over her duties.
