Phrase | all right |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "all right" is a phrase used to emphasize that something is true, correct, and believable: "My plan will work all right. I'm sure of it." The phrase "all right" can also mean without any problems: "Do you feel all right?" Or, "Katy left the meeting in tears. Can you check to see if she's all right?" The phrase "to do all right" means to be successful, especially professionally, and have enough money: "He's been working as a stock broker for years, so I'm sure he's doing all right financially." Finally, the phrase "it's all right for (someone)" is used when one is jealous or envious of another person: "It's all right for her to wear short skirts to work, because her legs are perfect, but what about the rest of us?" |
