WORDY WEDNESDAY: 'GET RID OF' ZIGGURAT BLOG POST: meaning and examples
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
For Wordy Wednesday, we are looking at a phrase used in a Ziggurat Blog post from last year.
Our student, Santi, wrote a book review about The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson. Santi's review was impressive, and so was his use of English! We noticed that Santi used the idiom TO GET RID OF (something) twice in his review, and we thought that this expression would make a great Wordy Wednesday post.
We first looked at this idiom in March 2006. Below is the link to that lesson:

Definition: to remove something that you do not want any longer.
Here is how Santi used this expression in his review:
Example 1: Nombeko, her boyfriend... and his angry girlfriend must get rid of the bomb, but it will not be so easy.
Example 2: But will she be so clever as to get rid of the bomb she has developed?
