Phrase | check |
Text | In this podcast, the word "check" means a bill, or a small piece of paper showing what one ordered at a restaurant, how much each item cost, and the total amount of money owed. A "personal check" is a small, rectangular piece of paper used to transfer money from a personal bank account to another person or business: "Can I write a personal check to cover our check, or do you take credit cards?" A "check" is also an examination or review of something: "Every month, the school organizes a locker check to look for hidden drugs." Finally, the phrase "to keep (something) in check" means to keep something under control without letting it get worse: "Do you think we'll be able to keep the water damage in check until the plumber arrives?" |
