to extend one's body for comfort or relaxation, especially after being in a cramped position · to relax and spread out
Perfect for when you've just gotten off a long flight or a cramped bus ride! ✈️🚌 Your muscles are probably screaming for some room, and you just want to extend your limbs and feel human again. It's also great for simply relaxing and making yourself comfortable in a new space! ✨
💡 **Pro-tip!** While 'to stretch your legs' usually means taking a short walk after sitting for a while, 'to stretch out' focuses more on the physical act of extending your body, like a cat after a nap! 🐈 You might even hear people say they want 'to stretch out on the bed' or 'stretch out on the sofa' when they just want to relax completely. So, next time you feel cramped, give a big stretch and remember this phrase! 😉
Which situation is most appropriate for using 'to stretch out'? A. 🏃♀️ You are running a marathon. B. 🛌 You just arrived at your hotel after a 12-hour flight and want to lie down on the bed. C. 🗣️ You are giving a presentation at a business conference.
