Today in Expressions Sessions we present two very similar sounding expressions but with very two different meanings. Check out these B2 C1 C2 Expresiones en inglés
A piece of someone’s mind
- To tell someone what they did wrong, usually in an angry manner.
- We usually use this expression to say what someone is going to do or usually does. We do not use it to say what I am doing in the moment.
- The logic here is that I am very angry, so I need to share with you a piece of what I am thinking.
- When my son gets home tonight I’m going to give him a piece of my mind.
- When she gets angry with someone, she really gives them a piece of her mind.
Peace of mind
- You know when you are always looking for a way to translate tranquilidad in Spanish to English but it’s hard to find the right word. We usually say it gives me peace of mind.
- The meaning is to feel calm and not worried.
- Peace means paz, so think of it as saying my mind is at peace.
- This new security alarm really gives me peace of mind.
- It gives me peace of mind that my son and daughter are happy in their careers.
