In the Dark

In the Dark

Welcome to the English in a Minute!

Children are sometimes afraid of the dark.

But what do you think this expression might mean?

What was all that shouting about earlier?

Kim and Craig broke up, but they still have to work together.

Problems!

Wait, Kim and Craig were dating?

How can you so be in the dark with this one?

They were always holding hands, and making kissy faces…

Forget I asked!

When you are “in the dark,” you are not informed about a situation.

You don’t have all the facts, or maybe you don’t want all the facts, like Jonathan in our example.

But you can also be kept in the dark on purpose.

By a friend, companyor government.

And that’s English in a Minute!
