Why do you think many people find it so challenging to maintain their ideal weight? Could it be that sugary treats and fizzy drinks are difficult to resist? If you have a sweet tooth like me, you know how hard it is to pass up dessert at dinner or to say no to a slice of cake at a friend’s wedding!
In today’s episode, Dara talks us through this commonly used idiom. Check out the video below!
Transcript
Have a sweet tooth? You mean, have a kind, caring tooth?
No! If I say, “I have a sweet tooth,” I mean, “I like sweet foods, like chocolates, or candy, or ice-cream, and I like them a lot!”
Let’s see how we can use this phrase naturally:
- Mary has a sweet tooth. She eats chocolate every single day.
- I really have a sweet tooth. I can’t resist chocolate, candy, or ice-cream. Or cake. Or biscuits! Anything sweet, really!
- I know you have a sweet tooth, but you really have to learn to control yourself. Otherwise, you’ll lose all your teeth by the time you’re thirty!
So, there we are. Do you have a sweet tooth?
