Hey all! This is the forth weekly English learning challenge: to try & use this idiom in your next lesson, study session, or in a natural conversation!
head over heels (in love)
meaning: to be deeply in love with someone
usage: especially when you're newly dating someone & are very attached to them
history: this one's odd, because our head is usually over our heels! Fun fact: it used to be 'heels over head.' Sometimes, idiomatic phrases shift over time to 'feel' better to say. For example, 'ding dong' instead of 'dong ding,' despite it being a made up word for the sound a bell makes.
image: You look around the street and see your partner. You start walking towards them, never taking your eyes away from them. And... oops! You've fallen over a bench.
Examples:
- Look at those two lovebirds. They're head over heels for each other!
- My darling, I'm head over heels in love with you!
So if you have a partner or someone you truly love... tell them that you're head over heels for them!
