[QUOTE="jeffli, post: 11891697, member: 382922"] [b]I took him at his word.[/b] [IMG]http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-1008-3119-0825_An_African_American_Teen_Talking_to_a_Caucasian_Teen_clipart_image.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE="4"][FONT="Arial Narrow"]Both "take somebody at their word" and "take somebody's word for it" have the same meaning. [SIZE="5"][B]take somebody at their word[/B][/SIZE] = to decide to believe exactly what someone tells you, even if it does not seem likely to be true. [SIZE="5"][B]take somebody's word for it [/B][/SIZE]= to believe that something is true because someone tells you it is, without making sure that it really is true. Examples: 1. When he said he'd give me a job, I took him at his word and turned up the next day at his office. [IMG]http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-0701-3113-5567_Two_Businessmen_Talking_clipart_image.jpg[/IMG] 2. If you say you've checked the money I'll take your word for it. 3. Don't just take her word for it. Go and see for yourself. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
