【Idiom of the Week】In hot water

DodoABC

Idiom of the Week

Introduction
Idioms are part of daily English. They are funny, colorful, and often don’t mean what the words say. Learning idioms will make your English sound more natural. Each week, we will learn one idiom you can use in real life.

【Idiom of the Week】Hang out

In hot water

This has nothing to do with soup. “In hot water” means to be in trouble.

Example:
Jenny: “Why is your teacher angry?”
Mark: “I forgot my homework again. I’m in hot water.”

 

Try it this week: If you are late, say, “I’ll be in hot water with my teacher.”
