you're not the one who decides everything.

Post by jrineakter »

today, when we use this expression, "to call the shots", well, it means, if we are talking about a person, that this person makes all the decisions, they are in charge of everything. There is often the notion of believing that you can do anything, thinking that you have the right to decide everything, so it is often a power that we give to ourselves.

Let's look at some examples to better understand. Imagine a discussion that takes place in a company and a colleague tells you: "You can try to confront her, but she's the one who calls the shots here." So by saying that, this colleague is telling you that you can try to contradict her, to disagree with this person, but she calls the shots, that means she decides everything, she makes all the decisions, she's in charge of everything, so there's a risk that she'll ultimately decide to fire you.

Another example: "You have to stop imposing yourself like that. You don't call the shots." That means it's not up to you to make all the decisions, you're not the one in charge of everything, so don't think you can do anything,


don't think you can decide everything, you don't call the shots,
Finally, last example to be even thailand whatsapp number data clearer: "He always asks me what I think, as if I were the one who calls the shots." So here, it's a person who complains that we are constantly questioning him. This person says: "I'm not the one who calls the shots, so it's not up to me to make all the decisions, I'm not the one in charge of everything, I don't call the shots."

So I think it's pretty clear and you'll see that this expression can be used in lots of different contexts and you can really come across it orally and in writing, in a newspaper, when we say that such and such a company director is trying to make the rain and the good weather or that such and such a politician is making the rain and the good weather. You can also of course come across it in books. So it's an expression that is pretty useful at least to know, even if you don't use it, at least to know.

I now suggest that you practice your pronunciation and we're going to work on the sound "en". Oh, I know, the sound "en" is sometimes difficult. The sounds "on", "en", "in" in French often pose problems. I suggest working a little on the sound "en", as we find it in the word "temps". So I'm going to pronounce a certain number of words that contain the sound "en", and you're going to repeat this word while focusing on my intonation, trying to copy me as much as possible. Let's go.
