warn someone not to go too far · advise against overdoing something · suggest not to take advantage
Imagine your friend has been working overtime for weeks and then volunteers for another big project. Or maybe someone keeps asking for favors after you've already done a lot. This phrase is your friendly (or not-so-friendly) reminder to chill! 😎 It's like saying, 'Hey, that's enough, don't go too far!'
💡 **Listen up!** 'Don't push it' can be a gentle warning, a friendly piece of advice, or even a stern caution depending on your tone! It means not to go beyond a certain limit, whether it's physical exertion, taking advantage of someone's generosity, or risking a bad outcome. Think of it as the opposite of 'Go for it!' when you want someone to *stop* rather than continue. Balance is key, right? 😉
Your friend has just recovered from a minor injury and is eager to start heavy exercise again. You want to advise them not to overdo it. Which English expression would you use? A. Go for it! B. Don't push it. C. You're doing great!
