Phrase | row |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "in a row" means consecutive or one after another, without any breaks or gaps: "We've spent the last seven Thanksgivings in a row with your parents. This year, let's spend Thanksgiving with my parents." Normally a "row" is a group of things that are in a line next to each other: "The suburbs are full of boring rows of identical houses." A "row" is also a group of seats placed next to each other in a theater: "It hurts my neck to watch a movie while sitting in the front row at the theater." As a verb, "to row" means to make a boat move over the water by using oars (long pieces of wood with a flat end in the water): "Valery's arms were really tired after rowing the canoe for hours." |
