NUMBER EXPRESSIONS-3: meaning and examples
Hello everyone.
Today we present another expression with a number; actually, today our expression includes two numbers: two and three.
Today's expression is: Two's company but three's a crowd
Meaning: A way of asking a third person to leave because you want to be alone with someone. It often implies that you want to be alone with the person because you are romantically interested in him or her.
Example 1:
Jerry wanted to come to dinner with my girlfriend and me, however I told him that two's company but three's a crowd, so he ended up staying home.
Example 2:
When Lori followed Scott and Jill into the drawing room, Jill turned to Lori and said, "two's company, but three's a crowd."
Have a great day!
