Sometimes knowing the right idiom can be a matter of life or death. If something is about to hit someone, or something dangerous is about to happen, you have less than a second to say the right thing and save that person from harm. The short and useful phrase you need is look out!

When you say look out to someone, it makes them stop what they are doing and look around and be careful. If someone is about to walk in front of a bus, you would shout look out to stop them.

Of course, look out can be used in less serious situations too. For instance, if you throw a ball at your friend and it’s about to hit him in the head, you could say look out and he might notice the ball in time to catch it.

Can you think of another time it would be helpful to say look out?

Can it be a warning from anything harmful will happen.. Like if my friend is about to be tricked, can I just tell her “look out or you will be fooled” ?
