end work or an activity for the evening · go to bed
Imagine you've been working hard all evening, or maybe just hanging out with friends, and you're ready to wrap things up and head home. 🌙 This is your go-to phrase to signal that it's time to call it quits for the day – or rather, for the night! It's super common and friendly, perfect for when you're just done. 😴
💡 **Why 'night' and not 'day'?** While 'call it a day' (an expression for ending an activity for the entire day) is similar, 'call it a night' specifically refers to ending things when it's already evening or night, usually to go home or go to sleep. So, if it's 3 PM, you'd probably 'call it a day', but if it's 9 PM, you'd 'call it a night'! 😉 It's the perfect choice when you're exhausted and just want to hit the hay!
When would you most naturally use 'call it a night'? A. 🏃♀️ When you're starting your morning exercise. B. 🗓️ When you're planning activities for the next week. C. 📚 When you've finished a long evening study session and are ready for bed.
