SO MUCH FOR: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a good weekend.
Today we look at an informal expression that is used mostly when speaking.
Today's expression is: so much for something.
Meaning: used to suggest that something has not been successful or useful.
Example 1:
It's raining cats and dogs. So much for the weather report predicting sunny weather today!
Example 2:
The CEO has just announced across the board budget cuts of 30% in all departments. So much for the new marketing campaign; we'll just have to continue with the old one.
We can also use this expression to mean that we have finished talking about something.
Example 3:
So much for the situation in the United States; now we turn our attention to Europe.
I hope you have a great day.
