It’s only a matter of time before they shut the business down.
He is so ignorant, it’s only a question of time before she gives up and leaves him!
54. A WHALE OF A TIME
You say this when you have a great time and thoroughly enjoy yourself.
The theme park was so much fun. I had a whale of a time!
55. DAY TO DAY
Something that happens as part of a usual routine.
The day to day running of this office needs to be more efficient, nothing seems to get done on time!
56. FROM NOW ON
To begin doing something from now until some unknown time in the future.
From now on, you need to promise that you’ll behave yourself and help out around the house!
From now on, I will be much more careful when I decide to trust someone.
57. FROM TIME TO TIME
To do something occasionally, not very often.
I do think about joining a gym, or going for a run from time to time, but I’m always too busy.
58. IN THE LONG RUN
Over a long period of time.
I know it seems like buying a house now is a bad idea, but it’ll be worth it in the long run. It’s a
good investment.
59. NOW AND THEN / NOW AND AGAIN
To do something occasionally.
I like going out for a meal every now and then, it makes a nice change from having to cook.
60. KILL TIME
When you do something to amuse yourself while waiting for something or someone.
Sarah’s not going to be here for another 20 minutes. Shall we walk to the park to kill time?
61. HIGH TIME
You can say this when you think something should’ve been done already, and is overdue.
It’s high time you asked your boss for a promotion, you work so hard and deserve to be paid more!
62. NOW OR NEVER
This means that something has to be done now or can’t be done at all.
Ask her now before she leaves for her two-week trip. It’s now or never, you won’t be able to do this
when she returns!
