ALONE-4: meaning and examples
Hello again everyone.
Today we continue our review of expressions with alone and related words.
Today's expression is: let alone
Meaning: this expression is used after a statement to indicate that because the first thing is not true or possible, the next thing cannot be true or possible either.
Example 1:
We don't have enough room in this house for us, let alone any guests. Tell your parents to stay in a hotel!
Example 2:
The government doesn't have enough money to pay its current debt, let alone an economic stimulus package.
