Let It Slide

Welcome to English in a Minute!

Children love to slide down slides at the playground.

LET IT SLIDE

The kids in my neighborhood are driving me crazy!

They left their bikes on my property again.

Aww, they’re just kids.

You sould let it slide.

I did let it slide the first 10 times.

But now they are doing it every day!

Well in that case, you should realy let them have it!

Slide, the verb, means to move smoothly along a surface.

If you “Let something slide”, you choose to not pay attention to it.

In our example, Jonathan first choose to ignore the bikes left on his lawn, until he could no longer let it slide.
