to have an idea or plan · to know what you want
This expression is perfect when you're out shopping and someone asks if you're looking for anything specific, but you already have a pretty good idea of what you want (even if you haven't found it yet!). 🛍️ It shows you're prepared and not just aimlessly browsing.
💡 **Pro Tip!** You can use 'have *something* in mind' when you're thinking about a general category (e.g., 'a gift for my mom') or a specific item. You can also vary it: 'I have a particular book in mind' or 'I don't have anything specific in mind, just browsing!'
Which English expression is most appropriate when a salesperson asks what you're looking for, and you already have a general idea or a specific item you want? A. to be out of my depth B. to have something in mind C. to break a leg
