Phrase | alone |
Text | In this podcast, the word "alone" means all by itself; a word used to emphasize that nothing and nobody else was involved: "If you buy that big truck, gas alone will cost hundreds of dollars each month." The word "alone" also means by oneself, without anyone else: "At what age can a child stay home alone for a few hours?" Or, "Could you please leave me alone for a few minutes?" The phrase "to feel alone" means to feel very unhappy and wanting to be with other people: "Jessie felt alone those first few weeks in a new city." Finally, the phrase "to leave (something) alone" means to not touch something: "Leave those packages alone! They aren't for you." |
