👁️ Keep an Eye On — Daily English Idiom #19
Ep #19 teaches "keep an eye on" — to watch or monitor something or someone carefully — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a character literally placing a giant eyeball on a potted plant, a bold eggplant-purple definition card, and a natural café dialogue where two friends use the idiom in real life.
Your friend puts a giant eyeball on a plant and stares at it intensely.
That's... not what it means. 😅
Swipe through to find out what it actually means — and hear it used in real life.
Card 1 — The literal version
Imagine physically placing a huge eyeball on top of a tiny succulent.
That's the literal reading. Silly? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely.
Card 2 — What it really means
Keep an Eye On = to watch or monitor something or someone carefully.
No eyeballs required.
Card 3 — Hear it in real life
"Can you keep an eye on my bag while I grab a coffee?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
You've probably said this — or heard it — dozens of times without knowing it was an idiom. Now you do. 👀
