where There’s smoke There’s fir

welcome to English in a Minute!

If you smell smoke , you know there is fire.

Where There’s smoke, There’s fir

Should we call the fire department every time we hear this expression?

I was up all night with my friend .

She was so upset.

why?

Well, she thinks her boyfriend

might like someone else.

He’s always “working” late

and texting someone named claire…

Well,”where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

If it seems like he likes someone else,

then maybe he does.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” means if there are signs of a problem, then perhaps there is a problem.

the expression is always about something bad, and often in connection with rumors.

If people are talking about a bad situation.

there may be some truth to it.

And that’s English in a Minute!
