When we talk about having ‘another string to your bow’ we mean having an additional skill that can be used if the first one doesn’t work out. So, think of another string as another skill.
We can also say ‘to have more than one string to your bow’ to mean having lost of skills.
Let's look at three examples of this phrase.
- Bookkeeping is another string to my bow – I’ve learnt it in case I lose my job at the bank.
- It looks like I’ll never be a singer, but luckily, I have another string to my bow – dancing!
- Gemma is so talented – she has so many strings to her bow.
OK, that’s for today. If you want to learn more English expressions that include animals, please give my class a try. I am very looking froward to seeing you!
By for now~
