Hello, Daily Vitamin readers! And happy Tuesday to you.
Our theme this week is Idioms with the word "Short."
Today we are learning the phrase: TO FALL SHORT
Definition: To fail to reach an amount or standard that was expected or hoped for, causing disappointment.
Example 1: We fell short of our sales goal for last year.
Example 2: Sometimes we fall short of the expectations that others have for us.

We covered this expression in a lesson in April of 2004 and again in a lesson in November 2009. Take a look at the following link to the lesson from 2009: https://www.ziggurat.es/daily-vitamin/?vitamin=1339
