All Ears

All Ears

Welcome to English in a Minute!

We all have two ears.

What then could this expression mean?

Lest’s listen with both ears.

Where were you at the big meeting today?

That was today? I completely forgot!

Tell me what I missed. I’m all ears!

You missed a lot of drama.

Tow people quit!

Right in the meeting!? What?

If you are “all ears,” you are very interested in hearing something.

You want to know all the details of a major event.

You can also say this to to someone to let them know that you’re listening closely.

And that’s English in a Minute!
