Dear teachers,
Would you tell me your opinion concerning the interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentence?
You try to put your foot down on account of your pupils' misbehavior during the recess.
put one’s foot down = take a firm stand
on account of = owing to, because of the fact that
recess = a pause from doing something (as work); as in "we took a 10-minute recess"
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V
