Yesterday, was a boring day for me! As I had to wait in the whole day for a delivery of my new oven.
To wait in, is a phrasal verb which means that you must stay at home and wait for a certain thing to take place.
- I must wait in for the telephone call.
- I need to wait in for the plumber to arrive.
- There’s no need to wait in all day.
- Did you have to wait in all day for the delivery of your new furniture? Unfortunately, yes.
We received an email stating that a delivery would take place within the day, therefore I had no alternative but to wait in for the delivery.
While waiting in, the weather was beautiful, and I was frustrated. However, after I had waited in for 8 hours the oven finally arrived!
In the words of Bob Marley, I did not have to wait in vain, (hopeless waiting for something that never happens)!
