So today I was just about to walk outside to up pop my plants and I saw this little guy or gal just hanging out right next to my Valyrian and rosemary seeds completely throwing a wrench in my plans. So today was an inside day. In English, we use the idiom to throw a wrench in your plans when something unexpected messes up your plan. Just like this snake. So, the idiom’s structure is something or someone throws a wrench in someone’s plan or plans. However, you don’t always have to use the word plan. You can change it to schedule or just leave it out entirely, ending with the event only, just like this. Her delayed train threw a wrench in her entire weekend schedule or the rain threw a wrench in my pool party. Now, it’s your turn. Tell me what’s thrown a wrench in your plans recently. Make sure to use the expression and follow for more natural English while I grow this garden. Bye. [Music]
