Lesson 171--Jumping to Conclusions


 

Jump to conclusions

 

We use this phrase when you make a quick judgement about something without taking time to consider all the facts.  If you make a mistake people will criticize and tell you not to jump to any conclusions.

examples

When Philip saw Maria walking with another man, he jumped to conclusions and assumed they were having an affair.  He felt stupid when he found out that was her brother.

Paul's father always criticized him for jumping to conclusions before he had all the facts.
