While browsing the news this weekend, this article caught my eye. It’s about a man who pretended to be a pilot because he wanted to fly a passenger jet.
There are two interesting pieces of vocabulary in the article. The first is where it says the man had claimed to have ‘logged‘ 10, 000 hours. This means that he claimed to have 10, 000 hours of flying experience.
The next interesting expression is that the police were acting on a ‘tip-off‘. This means that someone had given them some information and they were acting according to that information. We can also use it as a verb and say ‘tip someone off’ meaning to give that person some information.
