TODAY'S IDIOM: EAR TO THE GROUND

"EAR TO THE GROUND"



If you have your ear to the ground, you know what's really going on in a situation.

Example: If we want to market to teenagers, we need someone with an ear to the ground who really knows what they want these days.

Parar la oreja.

Example sentences:

  • I've got this great stockbroker who's got his ear to the ground and always knows when to buy or sell stocks / Tengo este corredor de bolsa quien para oreja y siempre sabe cuando comprar o vender acciones.

  • We need someone who has an ear to the ground in Washington to report on American politics / Necesitamos a alguien quien pare oreja en Washington para informar sobre la política estadounidense.

Additional examples:

  • John had his ear to the ground, hoping to find out about new ideas in computers.

  • His boss told him to keep his ear to the ground so that he'd be the first to know of a new idea.
