COLOUR EXPRESSIONS (GREEN)-2: meaning and examples

Hello everyone.

Today we continue with our second series of Daily Vitamins about expressions with the colours red, blue, green and black. Today we look at an expression with green.

Today's expression is: to give / have the green light

Meaning: If someone in authority gives a green light to something, they give permission for it to happen or be done.

Example 1:
The bank has given us the money, so now we have the green light to start the project.

Example 2:
The local government has finally given the green light to the project to clean up the river that runs along central park.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
