English today we have an idiom
and it has a popularity rating
of 5 which means that you're going to hear this
very very often if you are in an english-speaking country or
watch English movies et cetera today's
idiom is let that cat out of the bag
so let's look at the dialogue follow along with me
and see if you can guess what it means
before I tell you
by the way this dialogue is the same dialogue
that I used in the video pop the question
so if you're not sure what pop the question means
be sure to check out that video
after this one okay so
let's move on to the dialogue Ethan and Jamie
two friends are talking and Ethan says to Jamie
dude I've decided it's time
Jamie asks time for what
it's time for me to go to the next level with Lisa
you mean you're gonna pop the question
yup next Saturday
that's great congratulations
thanks man just make sure you don't let the cat out of the bag before then
okay so after
reading this and reading and listening to this dialogue
can you guess the meaning above let the cat
out of the bag what do you think it means well
if you guessed from the context that
let the cat out of the bag means to
reveal a secret before its time
then you're correct so and this case
I Ethan tells Jamie that he's going to pop the question to me sir
and of course it's going to happen next Saturday
so he wants to keep it secret until then
and he asks his friend to
not let the cat out of the bag so to let the cat out of the bag
means to reveal a secret before
