Today, I am introducing the phrase ‘the plot thickens’. It’s a light-hearted way of saying that a situation has become more mysterious or complicated.
Let’s see 3 examples of this phrase.
- Despite accusing him of stealing, it turns out he wasn’t around when the crime was committed – the plot thickens!
- The woman I saw him with at the theatre wasn’t his wife – the plot thickens!
- I thought he’d lost his job, but I still see him leave for work every morning – the plot thickens!
Yesterday, we talked about a phrase that is used to introduce a twist when you are telling a story. When we say ‘the plot thickens’ we mean the situation has become more mysterious and more complicated. It is more like a summary or opinion at the end a story. Did you understand the difference?
Today is Friday, which is basically my favorite day of a whole week. I have ordered sushi for tonight and my husband and I will eat sushi with sake at home. I am looking forward to it! So, how about you? Any plans for Friday night?
I am Yishu. Wish everyone a nice weekend! See you tomorrow and bye!
