Text | To ruin, in this podcast, is a verb that means to destroy something or to make it unpleasant. Another use of "ruin," as a noun, means something that is old and falling apart, usually a building. For example, a very old building or temple that has not been used for several hundred years might be called a ruin: "We went to Central America to see the Mayan ruins." We may also use "ruin" to describe what remains after something bad happens: "The fire left the house in ruins." Or, "Their relationship was in ruins after she found out about his lies." |
