Idioms covered in this video
1.“Bridge the Gap“ means to connect two things or to make the difference between them smaller. Imagine it like building a bridge between two islands. It’s used when we want to bring together two things, like people or ideas, that are separated in some way. For example, “The prime minister singled out education as a vital tool in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.” So education is the bridge here and the two disconnected parts are the rich and the poor.
2. “Burn One’s Bridges“ means to do something that breaks connections with others, usually in a way that can’t be fixed. Imagine it like setting fire to a bridge that connects you to other people or opportunities. When you “burn your bridges,“ you’re making a choice that could make it hard to go back to how things were. For example, if you leave your job without notice and in a bad way, you might “burn your bridges“ with that company, making it unlikely they’ll want you back in the future.
3. “Cross That Bridge When You Come to It“ means that you shouldn’t worry about a problem until it actually happens. Instead of thinking too much about it in advance, it’s better to handle the problem when it’s right in front of you. For example, think of it like planning a camping trip. You’re excited about the adventure, but you’re a little worried about the weather. Instead of constantly checking the forecast and stressing about it before the trip, your friend might say, ’Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.’ In other words, “deal with the weather situation when you’re actually on the camping trip, not before.“
4. “Water Under the Bridge“ refers to events in the past that are no longer important. It’s like saying that past problems or arguments have flowed away like water in a river, and now they’re not important. For example, if you and a friend had an argument a long time ago but are now friends again, you might say, “Let’s not talk about it; it’s all water under the bridge now.“ Meaning, it’s in the past and is not important anymore.
