Welcome to English in a Minute.

Sometimes you need to go around a corner to get where you want to go. But what does it mean if something is around the corner?

around the corner 不远，就在附近;即将来临

A: Andrew, let's meet to plan our party. New Year's is just around the corner.

B: Around the corner? It's still weeks away!

A: I know. There's not much time to plan!

B: You know I like to plan at last minute.

A: I know! That's why I made you a to-do list.

When we say an event is around the corner, it means it will happen in the near future. You will often hear people say right around the corner or just around the corner when using this expression.
