If things get out of hand, try to get a grip.
Many English idioms are often seen or felt. Take the idioms out of hand and get a grip. These are two “figures of speech” that you can feel and see. Their meanings?
If a problem or situation is out of hand, that means it is uncontrollable or unmanageable. For example, many people would say the United States let the coronavirus get out of hand.
If somebody tells you to get a grip, that means you need to calm or control your thoughts because you perceive that things are out of hand!
The lesson: While reading or hearing English, Try to see and feel what the words are saying. Imagine with all of your senses and perceptions as you hear or read!. Do you hear me? Is that clear? Do you feel me? (another idiom) 👀
