Expressions - Under the weather

Brian L

Here’s a natural English phrase: "under the weather"
It means you're not feeling well—maybe just a little sick.

I stayed home because I was feeling under the weather.

This is a common expression native speakers use instead of saying “I’m sick.”
It’s casual, clear, and easy to use.

Try this: “I felt under the weather when __________.”
