In Your Blood

Welcome to English in a Minute!

In English, we may call a person you share your DNA with a “blood relative”.

In your blood

Anna, my sister just won a big karaoke competition in New York City!

Congratulations!

Wow, you and your sister are both into singing!

I think it’s in our blood.

I think it’s in my blood, too!

Somewhere under the rain cloud.

Something that is “in your blood” is a quality or ability that you get from and share with your family.

The phrase “in your DNA” means the same thing.

And don’t worry, Anna.

Singing is definitely not in my blood either.

And that’s English in a Minute!
