πŸ“š Idiom of the Day

✳️ much ado about nothing


πŸ“ Meaning:

If you say something is much ado about nothing, you think it's an overreaction to something that shouldn't have caused so much trouble.

✏️ For example:

πŸ”ΊSome people make a big fuss about which table they get in a restaurant, but as far as I can see it's much ado about nothing as long as the food's the same.

πŸ”ΊAll this nonsense about status and "losing face" is much ado about nothing as far as I'm concerned. 

⭕️ Origin: "Much Ado about Nothing" is the title of a well-known play by William Shakespeare, and as a result the phrase has survived into modern English in its original form.

❌ Common mistakes ❌

⬛️ Loan or Borrow

❌Example Mistake: Can you borrow me that book? You can loan me my notes.

Tip: The listener may be confused since β€œloan” means β€œto give” and β€œborrow” means β€œto take.” It’s simple memorization that’s required to get the correct meaning.

For example, β€œborrow me that book” means β€œtake me that book” in the above example. Where do you want the listener to take the book? That isn’t what you meant to say!

Instead, you would like to use the book, so you want someone to give it to you.

βœ…Correction: Can you loan me that book? You can borrow my notes.
______________________

⬛️ Since or For

❌Example Mistake: I have known him for always. I saw him since last year.

Tip: You use β€œfor” if you don’t have to calculate the period of time, because the amount of time is indicated in the sentence already. You use β€œsince” if you have to calculate the period of time, because you only have the starting point.

βœ…Correction: I have lived here for two months. (You don’t have to calculate, you know the period is β€œtwo months.” ) / I have lived here since 1975. (You have to calculate now. If you came in 1975β€”the starting pointβ€”and now it’s 2016.)
