I am going to introduce some interesting phrases using numbers.
Today’s example is: 24-7.
This comes from 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it means “all the time.”
- A simple phrase: “He works all the time.”
- A native speaker phrase: “He works 24-7.”
Another example is:
- A simple phrase: “The store is open all the time.”
- A native speaker phrase: “The store is open 24-7.”
Simple, huh? Use this phrase and you will sound more like a native speaker!
Happy English Learning!
