Lesson 295--It Rings A Bell


 
When something sounds familiar, we often use this phrase.  Although it is quite common, it is not considered cliché.

examples

A:  Do you know Jimmy Matthews?
B:  His name rings a bell.

I can't remember Mark Smith, but his name rings a bell.

It doesn't have to be about people.  It can be about things as well.

A:  Have you heard the song "Love is Battlefield"?
B:  The title rings a bell.  How does it go?
