| Phrase | lead |
| Text | The word "lead," in this podcast, means a clue, or information that seems likely to help one find out what happened in a crime, especially if that information is provided by someone else: "The police are following a lead, but they still aren't sure who stole the money." The "lead" is also the first, winning position in a race: "Gracie was in the lead for the first three laps, but then another runner passed her." The phrase "to take the lead in (something)" means to be the leader or the first to do something, and making sure something gets done: "We need someone to take the lead in this project." Finally, the phrase "to follow (someone's) lead" means to follow someone else's example or do what another person is doing: "The first few weeks in the job can be challenging, but just follow your co-worker's lead." |
