Phrase | to count on |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to count on" means to depend on someone to do something: "I've known him for 10 years and I know that you can count on him to do a good job." Another slightly different phrase, "to count down," means to begin at a higher number and to count to the lowest number: "These are the last seconds of this year, 2007. Let's count down: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1." Or, "Your new store opens soon. Are you counting down the days?" |
