The sky's the limit

Posted by Expector Smith on February 22, 2016

Yes, it's an idiom, which means 'there is no limit to something'.

You can use the idiom to say there is no limit to someone's success or achievement, for example, you can say 'The sky's the limit for anyone who really wants to excel at English'.

The idiom can be so useful - it depends on how well you get it. You can also use it to say you can write whatever you want or talk about anything you like.

However, that's not what I'm trying to say. What I mean is how much hard work we need to master English.

We've been learning English for ages, but it seems we still aren't fluent in it. We just keep learning - reading, listening, writing or speaking. It seems the sky's the limit, even though we're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort to master a foreign language, say, English. Keep learning and enjoy - it may be a matter of a lifetime. Never give up and good luck!

The Sky's the Limit

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT Words embroidered on the blank paper sprinkling from the fountain of brain, conscious and subconscious turn in to the reflection…

Hi Hala,

Thanks again!

I agree with you Expector Smith! I have been teaching English for many years but new idioms, rules and words always encounter me whenever I read something new. I think this is the beauty of learning English : we can't leave it we have to keep learning and practicing it .
Thank you for introducing us this new idiom.
