Idioms - RING A BELL? - English Vocabulary #shorts


What does it mean if something rings a bell? Today, we're looking at the advanced idiom "ring a bell." If you say that something rings a bell, it means it reminds you of something, but you can't exactly remember what it is. Here are a couple of examples: • That song sounds really familiar. It rings a bell, but I don't remember the name of the artist. • Does the name John Smith ring any bells? It does, but I can't remember his face. • And there was this other company before that—you might have heard of it. I don't know. Name Nintendo. Does that ring a bell? Does this expression ring a bell for you? I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
