TODAY'S IDIOM: FACE THE MUSIC

"FACE THE MUSIC"



If someone has to face the music, they have to accept the consequences of doing something wrong.

Example: To avoid facing the music and accepting his punishment for doing something bad, our little boy will tell lies with the skill of a well-trained actor. 

Afrontar las consecuencias.

Example sentences:

  • Henry stole some money and bought a car, and when he realised he'd have to face the music he drove across the border to escape / Henry robó algo de dinero y se compró un coche, y cuando se dió cuenta de que había que afrontar las consecuencias, cruzó la frontera para escapar.

  • James will have to face the music when he goes to court / James tendrá que afrontar las consecuencias cuando vaya a los tribunales.

Additional examples:

  • Mary broke a dining-room window and had to face the music when her father got home.

  • After failing a math test, Tom had to go home and face the music.
