63. THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
A time when an important decision is made, or the truth about something is revealed.
Right everyone, here’s the moment of truth. John press the big red button and activate the system
please.
64. TIME AFTER TIME / TIME AND TIME AGAIN
To do something again and again, or repeatedly.
Time after time he makes the same mistakes and expects me to forgive him!
I have told him time and time again, but he just doesn’t listen!
65. YEAR IN, YEAR OUT
Something that happens every year for many years in a row.
Our family holidays are so boring now. Year in, year out we go to the same holiday resort ad stay
in the same old hotel!
66. ONLY TIME WILL TELL
This means you cannot find out the truth, the answer, or the result of something. You have to wait and
find out in the future.
Only time will tell whether their marriage will survive this or not.
67. TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS / TIME IS A GREAT HEALER
This means that feelings of hurt will leave as time passes by. This expression usually refers to emotional
hurts, not physical ones.
I was angry with him for a long time, but time heals all wounds. I am completely indifferent now.
68. TIME OFF
This means to take a holiday or a break from work or other commitments.
I would like to book some time off for next week please. I really need a holiday!
69. A HARD TIME
To do something that is difficult or to suffer hardship.
I had a hard time trying to find this place. Your directions were terrible!
70. TOO MUCH (FREE) TIME ON ONE’S HANDS
This is used when someone has too much free time, and not enough things to do.
I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment. Can I help you with anything around the
house?
He watches a lot of TV because he has too much time on his hands. I keep urging him to get a
job, but he’s too lazy!
