Please, I need to know the meaning of:- 'Close call' Something bad almost happened. 'He walked across the street and was almost hit by a passing car'.
- 'Steady on' Be careful! (as a command) or To do something more slowly and calmly. The friend of the man who crossed the street saw the car coming. So he shouted to his friend. 'Steady on!'.
- 'Shake the confidence' To be frightened by some event. The man in the first sentence had a close call which shook his confidence.
Thanks a lot! :)
