IT'S JUST AS WELL

Hello everyone and good morning. I hope you enjoyed your weekend, and I hope your week has started off well. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin.

Today's expression is: It is just as well

It is used: to say that a result or situation is good, although it is not what you originally planned or expected.

This expression is used in spoken English.

Example 1:
Sarah: Michael called to cancel his party on Saturday night.
Louis: It's just as well. I've got a lot of work to do this weekend, so I really don't have much time for socializing.

Example 2:
It's just as well that we've decided to go to Greece instead of Mexico on our honeymoon. All of those hotels on the Mexican coast have really been damaged in the hurricanes this year.

The Spanish translation of just as well would be something like menos mal.

⇒ As always, I encourage you to write your own sentence with today's expression in order to practice your English. You can post your sentence to one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing as soon as we can.

Have a great day!
