English Idioms

"every cloud has a silver lining"



Every cloud has a silver lining means that you should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days. Example: "What am I going to do? My girlfriend has left me again!" Reply: "Don't worry. It will be all right. Every cloud has a silver lining."

Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. When we look more closely at the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining. Example: "I found a new job after all, and I like this one even better than the last." Reply: "You see? Every cloud has a silver lining."

Every cloud has a silver lining means that the sun shining at the edges of every cloud reminds us that every difficult situation has a bright side. Example: "This really is a tough situation. Do you think things will work out for the best?" Reply: "I'm sure they will. Every cloud has a silver lining."

"put your foot in your mouth"



You "put your foot in your mouth" when you say something that makes a person feel embarrassed. Example: "Last night I was telling a joke, and I really put my foot in my mouth. I had no idea I was talking about Rob's wife." You can imagine how embarrassed you would feel and how funny you would look if you actually "put your foot in your mouth." Example: "I am so embarrassed. Are you sure he could hear me when I was talking in the next room?" Reply: "Yes. You really put your foot in your mouth." Note: The word "foot" is always singular when you say "foot in your mouth". Example: "Let's all be very careful what we say at the meeting tomorrow. I don't want anyone putting their foot in their mouth." When you say something which makes someone feel embarrassed or causes an embarrassing situation, you have "put your foot in your mouth."

"better late (than never)"





Better late than never means that it is better to do something late than to never do it at all. Example: "The movie has already started. Do you still want to go in?" Reply: "Sure. Better late than never!"

Better late than never is often used as a polite way to respond when a person says "sorry" for being late. Example: "Sorry I was late for the meeting today. I got stuck in traffic." Reply: "That's okay. Better late than never."

Better late than never means that even if you are going to be late, you should still go ahead and do the thing, because it is better to do it late than to never do it at all. Example: "I'm sorry it has taken me so long to return this book." Reply: "Better late than never."

"a wolf in sheep's clothing"






"A wolf in sheep's clothing" is a dangerous person pretending to be harmless. Example: "I want you to stay away from that boy. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing." "A wolf in sheep's clothing" is a person who plans to do something bad ("a wolf") while pretending to be good and innocent ("in sheep's clothing"). Example: "I do not trust the salespeople at that store. They are all wolves in sheep's clothing." In past times wolves had a reputation as wild and dangerous animals that hunted and killed sheep. "A wolf in sheep's clothing" is a very dangerous wolf because we do not prepare ourselves for the attack. Example: "She may look cute, but that girl is a wolf in sheep's clothing."
