| Phrase | not a chance |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "not a chance" means no way and is used to show that there is no possibility of something happening: "You thought I would watch your kids for free? Not a chance!" The phrase "on the off chance" describes doing something just in case a certain thing happens even though it is very unlikely: "Please bring your swimsuit, on the off chance that it's warm enough to swim in the ocean." The phrase "to have a chance" means for something to be possible: "Do you really think the team has a chance of winning?" Finally, the phrase "by any chance" is used to ask a question or make a request in a very polite way: "By any chance, could you loan me a pencil?" |
