Hello and welcome to Daily English. Today’s idiom is about trust — about doing what you say you’ll do.
The idiom is: “keep your word.”
Imagine promising your friend, “I’ll help you move on Saturday,” and even though you’re tired, you show up anyway — because you keep your word. What do you think it means?
To keep your word means to do what you promised — to be reliable and trustworthy.
Examples:
He kept his word and donated to the charity he talked about.People respect those who keep their word.
She always keeps her word, no matter how small the promise.
Keeping your word builds quiet strength. It says, “You can count on me,” — and that’s one of the kindest things you can say without words.
Do you think people today keep their word as much as they used to? Please share your thoughts in the comments section
