| the easy definition of grab |
English has lots of useful, but confusing, words. I like to tell people about them so they will
understand when the come across them.
Today's word is grab.
grab = to hold something tightly in your hand.
Unfortunately, a lot of English expressions use grab in a
way that really doesn't mean that. Here
are some examples.
 |
| grab a snack |
Grab a bite to eat = eat something, possibly go out and eat.
James invited Sally to grab a bite to eat.
Grab a snack = eat a snack
I'm hungry, so I am going to grab a snack before we leave.

Grab a nap = take a nap
Grab a shower = take a shower
Grab a beer/coffee = drink a beer/coffee
Grab a cab = take a cab
As you can see, grab is a useful word. Now that you know it, I am sure you will see
it everywhere.
