to move away from a group or a path without a specific destination · to stray
Ever been on a group tour and seen a cool little alleyway calling your name? Or maybe you're hiking and you spot an interesting path that seems to go somewhere mysterious? 🧐 'To wander off' is all about that delightful, sometimes unplanned, deviation from the main route or group! It's perfect for when you want to explore a bit on your own or follow your curiosity. Just don't get *too* lost! 😉
When would you most appropriately use 'to wander off'? A. 🚶♀️ When you leave your tour group to check out a hidden artisan shop. B. 📚 When you are diligently studying for an important exam. C. 😴 When you are sleeping soundly in your hotel bed.
💡 This expression is often used when you separate from a group to explore something specific, or when you accidentally stray from the intended path. It can have a slightly mischievous or adventurous feel! Remember, 'to wander off' is different from 'to wander around' (which implies aimless movement within an area). You 'wander off' *from* something.
