SPREAD YOURSELF THIN: meaning and examples
Hello again.
Today we finish our look at some common English expressions that use the word spread in them.
Today's expression is: to spread yourself thin
Meaning: to do so many things at one time that you end up doing none of them well.
Example 1:
I have trouble telling people no, so I end up getting involved in a lot of activities and spreading myself too thin.
Example 2:
Jack is a good managing director, but lately he has spread himself too thin and is having trouble keeping up with all of his responsibilities.
Remember that tomorrow we will send the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English.
Have a nice day. Bye!
