Chip away
Chip away literally describes breaking off tiny pieces from a hard surface with repeated small strikes. In everyday figurative use, chip away at describes making steady progress against a large task or slowly diminishing a quantity, feeling, or barrier through small efforts over time. It shows that the target is diminishing, but it does not claim that the work is finished.

Renewing library items
Renewing an item grants permission to keep it past its original return date. If an item cannot be renewed, its original deadline remains active. In our conversation, the cookbook and audiobook receive new deadlines, while the reserved gardening book must still be returned on Saturday.

Weather-dependent plans
Conditional plans establish two possible paths based on an uncertain event. In this conversation, the friends prefer cycling outdoors, but rain makes that choice uncertain. The word if introduces the weather condition required for cycling. The word otherwise introduces the indoor alternative if that condition fails. The word instead highlights that cooking lunch replaces cycling rather than adding another event to their afternoon.

Changing a plan
In this conversation, the friends keep their bike ride but change the start time. One person explains the delay and suggests a new time. The other person then accepts it. Listen for that acceptance before deciding what the final plan is.

Word of mouth
Word of mouth describes information, recommendations, or news passed directly from person to person through informal conversation rather than paid advertising or official announcements.

Take for granted
Take something for granted has two distinct meanings in daily conversation. First, it means to accept a fact, plan, or outcome as true without verifying it. Second, it means to receive regular help, kindness, or support without acknowledging its value or thanking the person providing it.

Set your heart on
To set your heart on something means to want a particular outcome very much. It can suggest emotional commitment, but the phrase does not guarantee how you will react if the outcome changes.
