COLOUR EXPRESSIONS-BLACK

Good morning. 

Today we finish our look at typical English expressions with colours in them. Today's colour is black.

Today's first expression is: to be in the black

Meaning: To have money, for example, in your bank account. The opposite of to be in the red (see last Monday's Daily Vitamin).

Example 1:
Despite the serious crisis, the company has managed to stay in the black all this year.

Today's second expression is: to black out

Meaning: to lose consciousness for a short time.

Example 2:
The police think that the man lost control of his car after he blacked out, but they can't be one-hundred percent sure.

If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website (www.ziggurat.es).

Remember that tomorrow we will send the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English.

I hope you have a nice day.
