There is one expression in the story I'm reading now.
It says "I took a swing at him."
Does this mean I was able to hit him or I wasn't able to do that ? |

It can mean either: I took a swing at him (and connected). I took a swing at him (and missed). The answer should come soon after in the text. _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
