TODAY'S IDIOM: IF IT WEREN'T FOR SOMEBODY/SOMETHING


If it weren't for somebody/something
the situation would have been different without someone or something

 If it weren't for him, I would probably be living on the streets.

If it weren't for somebody/something : si no hubiera sido/fuera por...

Ejemplos:

Si no fuera por tu ayuda , todavia estaria en la oficina. (" If it weren't for your help , I would still be at the office.")

Si no fuera por su pronta reaccion , la junta hubiera sido un desastre (" If it weren't for their prompt reaction , the meeting would have been a disaster")

Ejemplos adicionales:

If it weren't for the internet , I would be stuck right now

If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight.
