Phrase | might as well |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "might as well" is used to suggest doing something, or agreeing to another person's suggestion, without very much excitement or enthusiasm: "We might as well go to the museum if there isn't anything else to do." The phrase "I might add" is used to emphasize something: "She's a great employee and, I might add, she has worked here longer than anyone else." The phrase "I might have known" is used to mean that one should not be surprised by something: "I might have known he'd leave in the middle of the night without telling anyone." Finally, the phrase "might-have-been" describes something that one wishes had happened, or that could have happened: "Looking back on your life, do you ever wonder about the might-have-beens?" |
