In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack discuss the following three idiomatic expressions:
Out of the blue:
Definition: Unexpectedly or without warning; something happening suddenly and unexpectedly.
Example: "I hadn't spoken to my old friend in years, but then out of the blue, she sent me an email asking how I was doing."
Take it with a grain of salt:
Definition: To be skeptical about something; not to completely believe or trust something.
Example: "The tabloids reported that the celebrity was getting married again, but we should take it with a grain of salt until we hear it from a reliable source."
Give it a shot:
Definition: To attempt or try something; to give something a try, especially when facing uncertainty or difficulty.
Example: "I've never played golf before, but I'm willing to give it a shot and see how it goes."
