LEAVE-3: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. Today we continue our review of expressions that have the verb leave in them.
Today's expression is: to leave someone or something out (of something)
Meaning: to not include or mention someone or something.
Example 1:
Please leave me out of this argument. I don't want to get involved.
Example 2:
You left a "t" out of his name. It's M-A-T-T-H-E-W, with two "t"s.
Another very similar expression is to leave something or somebody off (meaning = to not include someone or something on a list, etc.).
Example 3:
The flat didn't cost two-hundred thousand euros, but rather two million euros! You left off a zero.
