I have a presentation tomorrow morning but it’s already too late, I think I’ll just play it by ear (is it okay? 🙈) thanks

[@englishbits]

Yes, you can use this idiom in this situation. I would say "I'm having a presentation". 😉

[@cynthiaom9547]

English Bits thank you so much :)

Darling, he is just a child, don't take it to heart! She got it off her chest when admitting she had lied several times. I had to put my foot down when he asked for another favor, as I am extremely occupied with work. Try to keep a straight face when the teacher says something ridiculous!

[@englishbits]

Great examples, Beatrice! The only correction is to use "preoccupied" instead of "occupied". 😉

"Had I not told the driver to put his foot down*, we would all be happily going about our everyday lives now. Instead, we are currently bedridden for the injuries sustained in the car crash that could easily have been avoided. If only I had kept my mouth shut at that moment..." *drive faster (2nd meaning, just wanted to add it in here)

[@englishbits]

Thanks, didn't know this second meaning! :)

[@tuananhphannguyen417]

That was such an absurd criticism! You shouldn't take it to heart.

[@englishbits]

Great example!! I would use "criticism" without the article "a" though. Thanks for your sentence!! 🙂
