| Text | In this podcast, the word "course" means one part of a meal, such as an appetizer, a soup or salad, an entrée, or a dessert: "They went to a very expensive restaurant and enjoyed a five-course meal." The phrase "to let (something) run its course" means to let something happen naturally, without interfering: "Her parents didn't like her boyfriend, but they decided to let the relationship run its course without saying anything against him." The phrase "par for the course" is used to talk about a negative thing that normally happens or that one expects to happen: "Borrowing a lot of money from banks is par for the course for many American college students." Finally, the phrase "in/over the course of time" means after a certain period of time has passed: "He'll figure out what he wants to study at the university over the course of time." |
