Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.
get off the ground: get started, successfully begin a project, etc.
Example:
Our new product line got off the ground just in time for the Christmas shopping season.
in the long run: in the long term, as a final result.
Example:
This software may be more complicated to learn, but in the long run it will save us time and money.
