| Phrase | act |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "act" means one part of a larger show or theatrical performance: "How many acts are in the play?" The phrase "an act of God" describes a natural event that is not caused by humans: "Does this insurance policy provide coverage for acts of God, like hurricanes and earthquakes?" The phrase "a juggling act" or "a balancing act" describes a situation in which one is trying to do many things at the same time: "Being a parent, a business owner, a musician, and a homeowner is a juggling act." Finally, the phrase "a tough act to follow" describes someone who does something very well, better than most other people: "Heather was a great CEO, and when she leaves the company it's going to be a tough act to follow." |
