TODAY'S IDIOM: COVER YOUR TRACKS

"COVER YOUR TRACKS"

If you cover your tracks, you make sure no-one can find evidence of what you've done.

Example: He's a smart guy and he knew how to cover his tracks so the police couldn't connect him to the crime.

Borrar las huellas.

Example sentences:

• Bob didn't cover his tracks well enough, and his wife found a romantic text message that a girl had sent to his phone / Bob no borró las hellas suficientemente bien y su esposa encontró un romántico mensaje de texto que una chica le envió a su teléfono.

• After stealing millions of dollars from the company accounts, he covered his tracks by destroying the computer files / Después de robar millines de dólares de las cuentas de la compañía, él borró las huellas eliminando los archivos de la computadora.

Additional examples:

• The robber failed to cover his tracks.

• She was able to cover her tracks up so that they couldn't pin the charges on her.
